fastterry Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Good to see another 12 being built. I used Grey Matter bits on a Hasegawa V for mine but there was a lot of filler involved and I had to make new props as they were way too short, also the spinner was undersized. Every time I look at it in the display cabinet I think I should redo the spinner and maybe the props. By the way the 12 didn't have nav lights on the wing tips (don't ask me why). Always admire your clean work. TRF Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always admire your clean work. TRF Thanks a lot for the warning. Yes you are absolutely right. Wingtip lights were an unnecessary effort. Fortunately, I can fix it by painting. I need to be a little more careful On the other hand, I also noticed that Gray Matter's propellers are short. I'll use Paragon's parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scimitarf1 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I have the Paragon conversion but intend to mate it with the Tamiya Mk VIII or Mk IX. I appreciate that the cross section is slightly different but that is what a sanding stick is for! Has anyone tried this combo? Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Some minor progress ; Horizontal tails are from Master Details as usual. The rudder is Paragon part. And the headrest is deleted. Edited September 19, 2022 by Tolga ULGUR airscale, Fanes, GMK and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Hi Will, I recently finished a Mk XIV using parts from the PCM kit and mated it to the Tamiya Mk VIII. It worked surprisingly well. Unfortunately I can't speak for the Paragon set, but using Tamiya for the base kit turned out to be a very good decision.
