Fenous Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Another build from me. It`s not necessary to introduce this kit, almost everybody already built one. There are some discrepancies in cockpit, where Hasegawa used same parts as in earlier Dora kit, I tried to correct some of them. I purchased Aires weapons and Master barrels, Eduards exteriror set and HGW super set with their superb seatbelts, wet transfers for stencils and moving surfaces and positive rivets, I`m looking forward to work with them, even if they are for A-8 and some corrections have to be made. I also used placards set from Eduard in cockpit, but I think decals would be better. Whitey, Fooesboy, ShotMagnet and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fooesboy Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Great start on the cockpit. I too have recently picked up a set of the HGW positive rivets and am very pleased to see you planning on using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenous Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Couple of pictures of final surfacer, except bottom of wing, where I discovered sinkmarks in winter low sun shining through my window, invisible in vertical light from the table lamp. So another coat of surfacer needed in there and then hopefuly sanding and polishing and HGW rivets will follow.

ClumsyDude Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Really crisp work, the cockpit looks amazing - I'd never be able to do it so cleanly - and the Surfacer job looks terrific. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Groovy. Same color as my beach house. Sincerely, Mark tomv87 and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenous Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 So, bottom is riveted, I was surprised, how flawless the process was, I`ve lost only ONE rivet when removing carrier film. Only problems were that the riveting set is intended for A-8, so I had to cover differences with some improvisation, but it was an easy job, because it`s possible to add literally rivet by rivet. Only drawback is, that you have to wait at least 8 hours for rivets to settle, so there are huge time lapses when you cannot continue. Small parts will be done shortly, so I will have to start another project despite my conviction not to start second project before the first one is finished.
