Derek B 4,554 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Good stuff Dutik - your scientists have obviously been working overtime on this one! I have the same kit (the box is now so flattened, that now looks like an A4 size envelope!). My chief reference material is this book: It will be made one day.

dutik 4,450 Posted Sunday at 06:50 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:50 PM Perseverance... I hate painting trousers. The upright running fabric folds make it very challenging to paint lights and shadows. Not really my cup of tea...

dutik 4,450 Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Our scientists opted for alignment pins and smoothing of the joints with putty. We did so: Fit is of a typical short-run kit, so there some putty had to be applied here and there along the wing and tail joints. One wing also needed a styrene strip to cover the gap. The tail is mixed media, with a resin part at the base. Superglue is a bit tricky if you have to carefully align a part, thats why I added the two pins here. Now it is drop-fit Regards - dutik Landrotten Highlander and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to post Share on other sites
