leoasman Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 At the risk of jinxing myself and shelving another project, I thought I would post some pics of my latest... And here is something I didn't see mentioned with this kit. The tail plug panel lines matched up great with the starboard side and the top panel line on the port side, but not with the bottome three. My solution was to gently cut it and spread that side to get the lines to match up. Kind of a pain, but in the end it saved me a lot of time rescribing... Thanks for looking, Leo RBrown, Uncarina, tomv87 and 6 others 9
LSP_Kevin Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Nice work Leo! Creative fix for the tail plug too. Kev KUROK 1
Mal_Belford Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Yeah...agree with Kev...a neat and real perfect solution.....these things do in fact use engineering skills to think em out, and spare time consuming jobs later, plain simple thinking ahead.... This is noted in my head notepad.... Also want to see more of this build coming alive..... /Mal Edited December 30, 2014 by Mal_Belford
leoasman Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks guys! I'm trying to get something done! I just haven't had the mojo lately.
Mal_Belford Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Hey... I konow what you mean.. If not feeling to build....do something else that you like for the moment....it is only a hobby.....ive had it..yeah for shure...force builds never get good at all... i try to test and do lots of things myself....Arhcery...movies...gaming...and so on...renowate at home and so on.....and looking at others build to get isnpiration from... in that way i get the urge to get back on the bench with new energy and feeling having a good time with my buils.... as i say...Life is to short to drink bad wine and soon you will feel it coming and you are back in the bench with energy, inspiration and ideas.... /Mal leoasman, EmperorKai and Uncarina 3

Collin Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Good job with that fuselage seam...that's a tough one to get looking good again. Cheers Collin
leoasman Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Started painting on the belly. I used some preshading and mottling prior to an overspray of the base color. Edited January 15, 2015 by leoasman tomv87, MikeC and Mal_Belford 3
