martin_sam_2000 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) My plan is to build this OOB and use the mike grant decals for aircraft ZZ-A from the Winter testing establishment in 1948, in the Dark Gray over Sky with red wing tips. I built one of these before and went all out in details, so this will be a quicky build mounted on a stand. So far I have just glued the cockpit together and the gear doors in place.

martin_sam_2000 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Some promised pics. Not alot of progress but I need the other three kits' ready for black before I paint the cockpit of this. (saves me from airbrushing the same colour twice) Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I have this kit and the trumpeter one. I think I bought them with the idea of combining the hobbycraft fuselage with the trumpy wings. Pretty sure I saw that in an article. Anyhow I can't wait to see more from you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Sean, Wow! 1 HC + 2 Kinetic + 1 Grand Phoenix kits in 1 GB! That's some serious modeling you'll be doing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Some work done on this. I actually have it pretty much assembled at this point. Just the tail hook, canopy and prop in all honesty. Gonna leave it until I get the other three caught up and then start the sanding and priming all together.

martin_sam_2000 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 A few weeks of progress on this one for this update.I have it masked now and it is all ready for primer. Thanks for looking, Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 I now have this all primed and ready for paint. Since I am a little delayed with the firefly radar, and the painting of the lower RCN grey has to wait till that is sorted, I may paint the sky on this sooner. I also have to paint the areas that are going to be red white first, so that may be my mission for today....Pictures soon! I promise. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin_sam_2000 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Some pictures. I got the base white and the red painted. Now I will mask and get the lower sky colour painted. I wont;t be doing that till I get the lower gray done on the firefly and tracker first tho. Maybe during the week. Thanks for looking, Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
