ShaunBD Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I have not checked your progress for a week, you done loads on the model! Very nice work with the painting, I hope mine turns out half as good as your effort. I like the way you have weathered the Day glo,and the rest of the airframe, very well done. Can't wait to see it on its wheels. Shaun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pirata Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Excellent model! I've been itching to do a heavy for some time now but I can't make up my mind as to what. This is certainly inspirational. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vitor Costa Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hello guys, You and your nice words are one of the reasons to keep me going with this one, because like i told you before this is being a hard kit to finish, first was the alclad that comes out with the Tamiya tape, i repaint the kit... because i remove all the paint the putty come out to, thats makes me doing the putty work all again... then when the kit was painted and with some decals i let it fell from the workbench (its very big)... and one of the unions got opened... i didnt give up and tryed some how to fixe it, but as you are going to see is not a easy task right now... i'm going to finish the kit, and i hope i have time to take it to the context. Thank you all for your nice words and for looking, i will try not to dissapoint Regards from Portugal Vitor Costa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards from Portugal Vitor Costa What a heart breaker :) Sorry to hear of the model falling of the table when so close to the end of the build. Good luck with the rebuild, I'm sure you can patch it up and complete the kit. Keep the faith ;) Shaun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr B, stay tunned the i will build a C-130 soon :-) caudleryan Its indeed a nice aircraft, but the kit have lots of building errors... its not an easy kit, but if you like it i thing it will deserve the construction David, i need to buy a new screen :-) thank you Hello Jack, now i just want to see it finished. Ok guys, thank you all, i think i have done a good job in the repair of the kit, so let me know what you thing about it. I didnt have the mix that i have made to paint the kit... i did it again but is almost impossible to make it the same again, so i used black paint very thined to achieve the right color... like i said before it looks ok to me...
