Iain Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Thanks guys - I'm just the assembler - Tim has done the really hard work in making the kit! A few more jobs done tonight - control linkages, belts, final cutting/prep of the glazings etc.. Iain Kagemusha and wunwinglow 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Went to spray a coat of satin varnish yesterday - and realised I'd run out!! More on the way - but won't be here in time to wrap up this build this weekend. Doh! Iain LSP_Kevin, MikeC, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 Well, wing and struts attached so she was complete enough to display at the Avon Model Show in Thornbury, UK yesterday. Still needs rigging and strut stays fitting - but hopefully gave an idea of the quality of this kit out of the box!! Final surface finish is a thin coat of Gunze Aqueous Satin Clear that was burnished slightly afer drying for a few days - and gives a nice representation of the sheen, rather than full gloss, of the originals.

Iain Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 And a few, more detailed, images... General underside view - weathering still a 'work in progress'... 'Landing Gear'... Tail skid in place - printed using a more resilient resin: Tail ballast weight (included in kt): Not often (if at all?) you get an opportunity to build a model in RAF Air Cadets markings: Hopefully I'll get the rigging sorted at the weekend and post some RFI images. I've thoroughly enjoyed this project - the kit is just beautifully done and is a joy to put together and paint, but it's also a really good change of pace in terms of subject matter, and methods of building. A really good MoJo restorer!! If you want one I suggest you get in touch with Tim at Flying Start Models as numbers are limited and it won't be around forever. All Out!
