Mr b Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Thanks for the nice words guys. Chugging along..... Got the outer wings done( nice details )stabilizer......and some minor bits n pieces... Mounted the inner wings to the fuselage....and the Radome too....also took out the clear parts....wow....very nicely done by Trumpeter.....how did they manage it in a single part....next will be final clean up, masking n paint work.....hopefully might just fold the wings on this one.....not too sure....any views/suggestions ? best Regards n happy modelling folks LSP_Kevin, BradG and Azgaron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr b Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Cheers guys mark- thanks for the suggestion.....it does make sense.....will finalize the config just before painting. today got most of the airframe gaps cleaned ...next will be a nice wash down n touch up paint...or repair bad joints.....it is very impressive in size.....and the “brute n beefy” look is well portrayed....Trumpeter really did good with this kit in my opinion....but it also did cost a lot of money.....to buy... the canopy ...and windshield.....I am in real amazement on how well it is molded.....a snap to mask even with all those curves..... hopefully the next update will see the start of the painting process..... rgds brian LSP_Kevin, Azgaron, Trak-Tor and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Puncher Tonk Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 ...I love it!!!...I have one I'm beginning tomorrow (my first 1/32),and you are giving me a great tutorial...what do/did you use to fill gaps (I've always been too chicken to fill any I've done)...and did you use any weights in the nose or anywhere up front?....I've had to use fishing sinkers in the 1/48 that I've done because these Intruders are so tail heavy...

Thanks ......I use a combination of stuff, usually Tamiya white putty .....some cases....super glue.....and talcum powder.....extra thin cement for this build Mainly the above then ......sand then mr surfacer.....n re sand wet ...to get a smooth finish....well that’s the principal behind it, I hate gap filling n it’s a mix bag outcome for me....mostly.....yes I stuck the last of my medium sized fishing weights in the radome....looks to be enough....I hope....if not will think of adding some in front of the instrument panel.....I did read somewhere they are tail heavy so I concur with your view.....the kit is nice, take your time with the line up the sides.....to reduce the carnage like what I had... test the wings, I would suggest getting the wings on then join the sides.....I did it the other way around....and it will be hard to have wings flush because pushing it hard...could cause the fuselage joint to weaken....best of luck with your build....hope to see a build log going.... rgds happy modelling folks mark31 and Sunday Puncher Tonk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr b Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi guys, been busy......with the real world.....managed to mask n get the primer one.....picked up some spots for further tending too.....hope to steal some time in the coming week to get it ready for paint....it’s massive...going to be a slow paint job..... the current state of affairs, oddly that some of the filling on the airbreak has gone soft, need to re do them.... best regards n happy modelling folks brian LSP_Kevin, Azgaron, BradG and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
