rm20886 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi all, I was able to get started on the model I chose for the Bad Boys group build. I bought this Hasegawa kit and Black Box cockpit 5 or 6 years ago and have been looking for the right excuse to get it started. All honesty, the fact that I have to sand the seam out of the canopy has kept me away from this kit. So it is time to take a dive and see what I can do with it. Wish me luck! :) I started by cutting away at the Hasegawa cockpit to fit the Black Box cockpit. I had to do quite a bit of sanding to the bottom of the cockpit tub to allow a good fit between the fuselage. Here are a couple of shots of the progress I made today: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rm20886 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well, I have been able to overcome my fear of sanding out the seam on the canopy. I'll post some pictures later but I am happy the way it has turned out. Looks like we have a couple of Artic Bandits in the Black, White and Grey color scheme already so I am going to do this one in the Blue and Grey scheme. I have two choices of aircraft to choose from with the kit supplied decals 298 and 335. I'll pick one of the two in the next couple of days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
