Delayar Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Wow, that looks terrific! That makes me consider this kit too, altough I am running out of space for large scale planes. Cheers, Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikka Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) okay ! here is the latest update : it took me a bit more than i thought . since i actually had to glue , putty , sand et rescribe/rerivet the fuselage before moving to the gears and bays . the fuse doors are closed so nothing is done to the fuse bays . but it only means more had to be done to the wing ones : The kit is quite decent , since PE is included . but you cant cure crazy so i added a few bits and redid some mismolded parts . I had to drill the legs and wing to install a rod . the OOB leg to bay link is incredibly weak . good enough for me ! now i shall take a break and enjoy the sunny weather !

Out2gtcha Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 That looks really nice. I hope it fit as good as it looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Very nice indeedy. I think it's going to be a very popular kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) hi very nice job so far , the fit looks quite good , I like the details you added into the gear bays , as well into the cockpit . The rear area behind the headrest could .... need some extra details , I think of the wires between the two pulleys , and some stuffs here and there ( take look at closer pictures ) , but it looks real nice , and busy as it is .. keep on going !!! Alain is there another way than gluing the gear legs so early , it would be easier to achieve the paint job without them ....

Dragon Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Great work on the build! It appears the tail is warped a bit to the left based on the last pic. I have several of the Hasegawa kits, but I'll have to get this kit as well. Mike Edited May 11, 2018 by Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 How do the intakes look? That's an area KH has neglected on other kits, hopefully there are nice intake trunks on this one Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Your painted cannon looks really excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikka Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 is there another way than gluing the gear legs so early , it would be easier to achieve the paint job without them .... yes , the legs are not glued . they are held by a removable rod .see last picture Great work on the build! It appears the tail is warped a bit to the left based on the last pic. I have several of the Hasegawa kits, but I'll have to get this kit as well. Mike the tail is not glued to the fuselage . i also checked and it is straight . might be the picture ? How do the intakes look? That's an area KH has neglected on other kits, hopefully there are nice intake trunks on this one Matt looks decent . since there is nothing behind the intake i will put some covers made from evergreen . same for the nasty looking exhausts Your painted cannon looks really excellent. thanks , you are too kind . its just mr color buffable steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
