thierry laurent Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 scheme will be PR-G, out of box decals Hi, Just FYI, if you ever have problems with the old decals, Techmod just released an aftermarket set of Typhoon decals that has, among others, the Beamont PR G plane.

Shawn M Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 managed to complete scribing on one half of the fuse! Hard to photograph but I will keep trying Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 started to sand down the other fuse half and am near completion of the tail planes. I decided to cut the elevators free as well since i'd already cut the rudder lose I figured why not, plus it allows for some visual trickery to address some thickness issues of the stab vs. the fuse fillet.

Shawn M Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 with the wife off to the Thespian Convention, I will have 2 solid nights of model time to finish the rescribe on the second fuse half! Shaka HI, R Palimaka and Bill_S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 sat down to scribe a bit more last night.... I get the feeling I've totally lost my model mojo at the moment R Palimaka, Alain Gadbois and dmthamade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Hours of scribing will do that. The prep work on these old kits before you can actually start building can be tedious when you just want to start seeing results. Trust me, what you've done so far is amazing...once you get past the, "What the hell have I done?!" point. Keep going, you're doing great things with this old kit.

mozart Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Well done Shawn, 10 out of 10 for grit and determination - far too much for me to stomach with my Tiffy but then I'm a wimp. Stick at it old chum, it'll all be worth it in the end! Max R Palimaka, Shawn M and Alain Gadbois 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 sat down to scribe a bit more last night.... I get the feeling I've totally lost my model mojo at the moment Rescribing does that to you...if I have that much rescribing to do I take a break by working on subassemblies like landing gear, cockpit, something that shows progress and keeps the enthusiasm up.

Shawn M Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 thanks guys I will see this one through, then probably take a break from aircraft for a while to tackle my sizable non-aircraft stash R Palimaka, LSP_K2 and Bill_S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
