pollie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm happy to join this GB with my two 1/72 Fujimi Skyhawks. I hope to finish them well before the deadline so I can start a 1/48 Hasegawa Skyhawk, but we'll see. I will build them straight from the box except for the decals and possibly some ordnance. Decals to be used will be from vintage Super/Microscale sheets (both will be coded 'NF'). Some progress soon I hope! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pollie Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've started assembly and ran in to a minor problem. One of the tails is the later variant which I will have to modify. Not terribly difficult but delaying the build somewhat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Well, that wasn't so bad. After only about ten minutes of sanding and rescribing those two tails look remarkably similar now :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, that's one of the changes made to the Super Fox variant. The instructions will also tell you to use the larger intake parts, but the kit should include the smaller versions you need for a regular F. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Some progress to report: cockpits and seats painted. Aft fuselages have been glued together. I used liberal amounts of white glue to fix some lead to the inside of the noses in order to avoid tailsitting. More to follow this week hopefully. I had to use plastic shims in the speedbrake wells to improve the sit of the speedbrakes in the closed position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Great choice mate. I will follow with interest these builds! Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Time for a little break cause I'm going on a three week holiday. Had hoped to show some more pictures of the progress this week, but the preparations for my vacation take up all my time. To be continued mid-August! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
