madmike Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Finally got a start on this ripper kit. One thing I have noticed is that the plastic is brittle necessitating good sprue cutters to remove the connecting sprue tree stubs. I will keep plodding along...

madmike Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Kits like this are going to break my hoodoo with aircraft. Nice and steady with an easy fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmike Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) To be honest? There is progress but slow. I am finding it immensely difficult building aircraft models currently and am trying all sorts of things to regain the "enthusiasm" Small scale armour does not need me to use an airbrush so I can build kits to completion, plus lots of subassembly work on the J.1 have already been done. Bare with me, I am loving the kit and just need to overcome my severe modellers block over building model aircraft, which so far has lasted nearly 3 years. Moeggo has sent me a fantastic magazine with a J.1 build amongst others, which helps also. More to come, both here and in the "in progress" forum. :) MikeJ Edited December 11, 2009 by madmike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I understand Mike. I go months sometimes with no desire to build and then I'll go on a streak where thats all I want to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
