Neo Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Good old revell model.... full of gaps and parts that dont fit ..ahhhh you have to love them here is some progress on my SNJ afterbuffing the inside with my dremel this is the best fit i managed when trying to add some glue on the underside of the fuselage the 3 lights that are glued from the insede fell in. It took me 3 hours with some tiny tools to put it back into place :wacko: comment away people !! cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Here is a little update Geer is on and ive just got the engine and the engine cover on. ive removed the liquid mask from the canopy and i have to say im not satisfied! It did not come out nicely but i have no intention of redoing it!!! Prop and flaps are going on in a couple of hours Im going to put a gloss coat on tonight then it up to decals Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 FINISHED all done in this bright color she really stands out parked with my 3 other blue angels!! Im kinda disapointed of the paint job especially the canopy but its kinda my fault... i applied liquid masking to my canopy before installing in and since this is a revell kit all the fighting to glue it into place damaged the liquid mask and i neglected to redo it before painting. As usual this model was had painted with Humbrol paints Big thanks to Derek Moss for giving me the Jap decals use on my SNJ it made all the difference!! Cheers This is Neo signing off on this build :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
