Dragon Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 I've made progress with painting the build; although, it hasn't been without issues. As I painted the green, I put a fingerprint in the fresh paint not once, not twice, but three time! Frustrating! After letting the green cure for 24 hrs, I sanded the fingerprints out and re-applied the green, and after these touchups and a couple others cured overnight, I applied the gloss cost. I'll let the gloss coat cure for a couple of days then start applying the decals to the build. This GB end date is coming up fast, but I should be able to get the build complete in the next few weeks. Thanks for looking in.

Dragon Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 I'm calling this build completed. Had a let down when I removed the canopy masking. I discovered a small crack in the rear half of the canopy above the left side of the back seat. I must of hit the canopy sometime during the build . I applied some Future over the crack to see if would absorb into the crack but no such luck. What a bummer since the canopy is so prominent on this aircraft. After two failed GB builds, I'm pleased with the build; it has its faults, but what build doesn't. I'll be taking a break from LSP builds for awhile as I've discovered MFH multi-media kits. Never done a multi-media kit and I'm looking forward to something new. ARGH, after looking at these photos, I see I forget to paint the navigation lights! So I guess it's not completed after all, back to the bench..... Thanks for looking in on my build. mgbooyv8, KiwiZac, LSP_Kevin and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themongoose Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Really a sharp build. Insignias pop and the canopy looks crystal clear. Camo turned out great Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
