Flankerman Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi guys, I am not really sure what is wrong with the kit's intakes. Maybe Flankerman can provide some more details since he raised the issue in the first place. But if the problem is the tilt to the vertical I think Trumpeter has got it right. Have a look at a (poor) photo of the finished model: My apologies - from your construction photos it looked like the intakes had outer side walls that were vertical. It appears from your later photo that they are not vertical - but have the correct 'toed-in' appearance. It looks like Trumpeter have got it right. Again, sorry for causing confusion..... Ken PS - Great buid BTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 What a great thread :thumbsup:. Some most excellent workmanship there and your photos are superb in the way they are laid out with the captions and explanations. I had no interest in the Flagon due to all of the issues with the kit but after seeing yours I may have to invest in one. Thanks goodness I did not get the kit when it first came out as there are more update sets available now too so a much easier proposal. Thanks again for posting, much appreciated and again wonderful work. :clap2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Der Grüne Punkt Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Awesome!, thanks a lot for sharing!... I wish I have the time to build with that attention to detail. How do you handle rescribing over putty?, I haven't found a way to not to suffer with that. cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vags Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Hi there, Re-scribing over putty is actually very easy: I use MR HOBBY (GUNZE SANGYO) MR SURFACER 500 LIQUID or SPRAY. The "magic trick" is simple: multiple soft sweeps of the scribing tool - the first ones being even softer than the rest but you should be careful not to overdo it. Usually 5-6 sweeps are enough for the 48th and after the first three ones any template used is removed so that you'll be having a better look on the surface and a better judgement. cheers Edited December 13, 2014 by vags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
