waylandcool Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I started this kit today: And guess what I found in the right fuselage: It's an Airfix rebox so I decided to toss it into this GB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waylandcool Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Okay, off we go into the interior. I can't call it a cockpit because a seat and a floor doesn't really qualify. The is a nice pilot in the kit, so I painted him and seat and called it done. BTW, as a builder's note, make sure that you lightly glue the rear bulkhead to the floor before attaching the it to the fuselage because you'll need to angle the bulkhead to properly so the seat fits. Add the seat after you put it in the fuselage and save yourself some grief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theplasticsurgeon Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Welcome aboard Waylandcool. Fine choice of subject you've made there - the Jaag has always been a favourite of mine. Here's my copy of that kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waylandcool Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Two colors down, one to go. Painted the undersides Sky and the masked and painted the uppersurfaces RAF Dark Green: Now it's masked for the Ocean Gray camo: BTW, I need to mention something about MPC's manual here: A right side profile would be really helpful when you call for a 3 tone paint job. The left side is called out but I had to guess on the right side. Edited May 24, 2011 by waylandcool Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muswp1 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It's Silly Putty. It's cheap and actually does a good job for masking. Plus it does compound curves better than tape. I'm using it myself on a Tamiya Spitfire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waylandcool Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yep it's silly putty. And it does a nice job on paint jobs that have lots of compound curves. The Jaguar took about an egg's worth. It's finished, I'll put the finished pics up in the completed thread tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
