IIRC, I believe he said there was some ominous note in one of his shipping updates reading something akin to a package being opened, and a Turkish address that looks like its on its way back to Turkey. I could be wrong though, just guessing. Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aigore Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Sanding.....filling.....yeah! Finally Friday, and I have TWO updates for you today. It´s because my hobbyroom has to be empty by Sunday so the floorer can do his flooring on monday. OK... It´s moving forwards at least.... This is where I left off and now it has cured a for a few days and it´s time to sand... First round of sanding with 120 Grit and 320 grit, I know details will be lost but that the next fun stage of restoring lost details after the wing joints are blended in to my satisfaction. Then some primer again to give me the honest truth.... Not so bad actually of course it´ll need another round of filling... it doesn´t seem as an inhumanly impossible task at least. This time round I try some acryllic putty, I tried using a cotton swab but I removed too much putty so I´ll let it cure in place and use some wet´n dry to sand later. Well enough for today.... Sorry I couldn´t give you a more exciting update Cheers! Isar 30/07, Derek B, sandokan and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigore Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 YES....continious sanding and filling! The sanding continue... This is the state after todays sanding session... After sanding another coat of primer.... looks better but there are still small holes and defects. Oh yeah and that corner of the right wing root that have snapped at some point. Well that leaves me with another round of filling.... out with the tammy putty again! OK, I have to do something else than sanding and filling or I´ll nuts!

Aigore Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Part two Hmmm...the canopy and windscreen looks pretty alright....but they can still improve! Out with the Tammy fine compound! The windshield is polished...you can see the difference between the canopy and the windshield. After both were polished I washed them in fingerwarm water and detergent to remove dust, oils and leftovers of compound. Then I took a shot! Nah, it´s a mixture of future/klear with a 1/5th windex. The windex makes the future flow evenly. And I dipped the clear parts until I was happy And this is how crystal clear the got I always dip my clear parts, not only because the get so clear but for it´s protective properties as well....and it doesn´t fog up by CA-glue. That´s all I got for you today! Cheers! blackbetty, johncrow, frank83 and 15 others 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Brilliant work with the canopy and windshield. I’ve got the same tamiya polishing compounds, and love the finish they can achieve. Aigore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Very nice......I just got done repeating the exact same procedure for my F7F, only I used the NOVUS polishes instead of the Tam polishes (which I have some as well). Aigore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
