    LOL nooooooo!

    but if others don´t want to read the BS then they can scroll down so the BS won´t upset them :)

    I quite enjoy the BS :)

    I don't see how anything of our lovely BS can be upsetting people! It's just a way

    of spending time here, checking for updates, until those pics actually arrives! In a

    way you could say it's a way for us to say to you: BUILD FASTER INSTEAD OF

    SITTING HERE BS:ing WITH US!!! :rofl: :rofl:

    More BS to the people!!! :wasntme:

    You're sure right about that, my friend! You were ahead of me a few weeks

    ago, but now you're just a tiny dot in my Draken's rear view mirrors...! :rofl:

    But I do cross my fingers for some heat at your place, so you can start painting

    some lovely Drakens! :rofl: And yes, you can use Angelina for that heat, as long as

    you get those darn aircraft painted sometime...!! :worship:

    I'm really bad at starting those WIP topics when I actually start building the

    kit, so here's yet another one which is pretty near its end. :P

    It's the Hasegawa offering of Draken, in 1/72 scale. I have quite a few Draken

    decals lying around, so I thought I should use one of them to make a not very

    commonly seen aircraft.

    First I started off with the pit. My intention have always been a closed canopy,

    so I didn't put very much effort in this area. Just painted it green and used

    kit decals. Good enough this time.

    With the cockpit installed, it was time to close up the fuselage, and clear up

    the seams. Nose, tailcone and wings went on as well, before it was time for

    the primer.

    As you can see, white primer was my choice this time. Not a real primer,

    just some Gunze white. Looking back on it, I really should have used a

    true primer, like the Tamiya fine surface primer. Oh well, this was good

    enough for the color coat anyway.. :)

    Color coat is yellow. All yellow! This aircraft will be finished with big black

    swordfishes on the fuselage-wing extension. I got some advice from a

    fellow modeler here in Sweden, and he told me to use the Xtracolour

    Blue Angels Yellow. This I did, and here you see the result. Looks rather

    spot on to me! :)

    Since those two pics, another two coats of yellow has been added. Now I'll

    just paint up the metal belly and rear fuselage, and she's ready for decals!

    More pics to come.... ;)

    Please believe me: I realy, realy, realy, realy, realy wanted to put a splash

    of colour on them, but somebody has nicked my paint-stash... :rolleyes:

    I'm telling You: must have been that ChernayaAkula-dude !!! :doh:

    OK, now THAT's a lame excuse...

    "Check Six....."

    Spooky.

    I've told you before, you have to get a new apartment or house, so you

    can start painting indoors..! :lol:

    I actually put the last layer of yellow on my Draken last weekend. Decals

    are next, maybe tonight already... :P

    And yeah, sure IS a lame excuse... :P

    Thanks guys! :lol:

    Airliners scare me. All the big, white, shiny surfaces. :rolleyes:

    Nah, don't be scared, Moritz, there are v-e-r-y dirty airliners as well, so you

    should be just fine doing one! :doh:

    It's actually a nice break from those dirty war machines, once in a while.

    Not so many parts, and often one or two colors.. :P

    I have just realised.......

    If anyone is contemplating buying just one of the Hobby Boss Mi-8 kits - then get the Mi-8MT/Mi-17 Hip-H (kit number 87208).

    Even if you only intend to make the early Mi-8T, you get the same parts that are in the Mi-8T kit (number 87221).

    But - in the Hip-H kit you get some extra parts - such as the longer Doppler box under the tailboom, a small weather radome for the nose and the later heavy-duty winch.

    You still have to 'convert' either kit to make a Mi-8T - but the extra bits are useful......

    Just a thought...

    Ken

    Thanks for the heads-up, Ken, I'll for certain keep this in mind!

    Hopefully I'll get it half as good as yours.. :bandhead2:
