blackbetty Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) A new year and a new build. after the Pucará i need something to just stick together and not have to scratch 99% of the parts. this one will be with no aftermarket, just oob. the only thing not in the box are the decals for the croatian checkered sheme i drew and printed. box and decals: Edited January 6, 2022 by blackbetty mc65, LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 i briefly thought about changing the seats to aftermarket, but there is no way any resin seat will fit into the tub without major surgery (i tried CAM and HAD seats) i dont know how the Verlinden update sets quality is and it costs more than the kit, so i reminded me in time that i just wanted to assemble something first i shot the bluegreen (self mix) that looks green or turquoise depending on the sun the gearbays were shot radome tan that is very close to the colour i see on the real thing LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander, johncrow and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 i assembled the seats and added some lower belts on the seat cusion beause there were non these seats only resmble the real thing up to a point, bit i will close the canopy anyway and hope for the best Greg W, jgrease, LSP_Kevin and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 i assembled the fuselage with all internals and the fin. there will be some putty work necessary on the nose, spine and lower joint - so much for "just sticking together" this kit has some fit probelms, nothing major, but still... i want to paint the fuselage, the wings and the horizontal tailplanes separate and assemble them afterwards, masking should be much easier this way MikeC, LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
