The Madhatter Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 what do need another guess for? You got it right the second time ;) When I said "are you kidding me" I was surprised that NZ was actually considering buying them - not "are you kidding me I can't believe you would suggest such a thing" LOL!! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well there you go I suppose I should read these posts a bit more thoroughly Did you get the decals from OldModels in Kiwiland? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 yeah I did - he is the only one I can find online who sells NZ decals. I'm a little apprehenive about using them as I have used his decals before but had to have them replaced after they ran worse than a bad curry - despite following his instructions. Tthis time round, one of the guys from my club sprayed on some Testors sealant and there is now some weird pink "echo" around the edges. They are still useable (hopefully)and I doubt the pink edges wil be visable on the kit itself - at least I hope not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I just read your build. Very impressive work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thank you :) Will start decalling tonight, time permitting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jager Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Nice build and have enjoyed watching your build. I have also been building an A400. I have a build question for you. Did your fuse halves have any fitment issues? I have had too really work to get a proper alignment, not insurmountable, but I thought a newly engineered kit would have aligned better. I have read another review on a Revell C160 NG build and there was a commentary on fuselage alignment issue. I am making the comparison because both kits have a similar design. I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue or did I just miss something. Once again thanks for your well documented build. Jager Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hey Jager Yeah, I mad major issues getting the 2 halves to join properly. I had to use brute force just to get them to mate. Your not alone in your observations in the engineering of this kit. If you think this part is bad, wait till you get to the joining of the wings to the body! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jager Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Hey Mad, Thanks for the look into the assembly-future. Most of my wing pre-fitting indicates filler will be required. Thanks for your insight.....can I borrow your fuse hammer for my wing installation? Jager Edited October 22, 2013 by jager Quote Link to post Share on other sites
