phantom Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Next up, a 1972 issue Hasegawa CP-121 Neptune. Using Canuck decals. Apart from that, I think this one will be OOB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Nice to see some classic hasegawa. Is it molded in the classic hasegawa superhard plastic? I can not wait to see what you do with this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 A Neptune with the Phantom touch will be watching this Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Are your kit decals still usable? I have a Neptune in the stash and would love to do that scheme on the box. I'll send you a few bucks for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sorry the kit had no decals, I picked it up for 5 bucks. The decals I am using cost 4 times the kit price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I like to use old empty paint bottles for nose weights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Wings on, that should be about it for today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Nice tip with the empty paint bottles. Looking good so far, looks like you got the seams sorted out, almost ready for paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Starting to look like I should have put in two bottles. Still might be a tail sitter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Few more parts on. Time to paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 This was a nice build. 45 years old, ZERO putty. Actually rather surprised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Like the colour scheme Looking awesome Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ahhhhh, lots of sanding. That is why the lack of putty was a surprise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yep, I should have done that. A stiff breeze can make it a tail sitter. But on the top shelf (inches from the ceiling) it should not move ever again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldslaziestbusker Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Some impressive styrene coming out of the past for this GB. A lovely build in a beautiful scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
