Janne,

 Happy New Years from my side of the pond. 

  Glad to see that you posted an update. the windshield looks great. I'd say you beat that glue stain into submission.  I never thought about using Eduard masks for the inside of the canopy and windscreens, but it's an option I'll need down the road.

 

Joel

Thanx Joel And happy New year to you too :D

 

Not often I mask the inside but this warranted it. :)

Yup I know the updates are far between but there is something going on at least  :D


Did some more putty work...around the windscreen for example.

Then just some tape.

Janne,

   Glad to see that you're making progress.  Cleaning up the small final details seems to always take the longest for the least amount of work to post, but it's super important.  The windscreen is almost there.  That's one area that I always struggle with. Two steps forward and at least one step back, as blending is such an art to get perfect.

Now then...I think allfilling and sanding and rescribng should be done.......I hope

Filled a bit around the seam line that was showing through...

IMG_3686_zps3uxbdfkl.jpg

Sanded more around the windscreen to blend it in more.

IMG_3687_zpshnhouivy.jpg


Then a good sanding session later this is what it looks like...scribed some lost panellines as well.

IMG_3688_zpslmcjhiea.jpg


And re primed, and I´m happy, perhaps I should pull some panellines around the windscreen.

IMG_3689_zpsq4tmvead.jpg

The spine looks good.

IMG_3690_zpsiovkybda.jpg

Now a good polish with 2000 grit sanding pad.

IMG_3691_zps0fd2chqe.jpg


I primed the belly in white.

IMG_3692_zpsjiy7pad1.jpg

There...

next I´ll finish I´ll do some detailing in the wheel bays, do the rudders, flaps and slats....arrestor hook, oh and finish the canopy.
Then, I´ll be darned, it is time for paint!


Cheers!

Janne,

  You sure came back from your rest break with a vengeance. You're really making headway now. the redo of the windscreen joint line really is a remarkable improvement. Well done, very well done.  The new primer coat certainly shows the overall progress quite well. the same goes for the undersize of the aircraft. Hard to believe this is the Kinetic kit.

Looking solid. Happy to see you finally filled in some of the nose panel lines but then you re-scribed them! The A-6 has no panel lines on the nosecone. Fill in the line from the separate nose piece of the kit and the connecting lines that go from the windscreen to the nose. It should be one big bulbous nose on the Intruder. (PB won't let me post pictures but a quick google search will show you how the nose radome is one big piece.

Can't believe how much work is required on such a new kit.

Sebastijan,

  Kinetic kits on the whole require a great deal of work as Janne has been demonstrating. But like Kitty Hawk kits, they do produce models that no one else does.

I knew this particular kit was a hog....the hobby boss one is the one to buy, but this is what I had and I decided to go through it no matter what and make it look good too :P

I replaced details that I had sanded off, think they are sort of wind blowers to blow off rain water and defrost the windscreen

Well then...seems I´m not all that finished with puttying things after all....

The panellines on the nose had to go....so putty

IMG_3693_zpsbrca07ti.jpg


Some sanding later...

IMG_3694_zpscsut1bdt.jpg


But after reprimer it wasn´t good enough so...moe putty.

IMG_3695_zpsjc0p9idz.jpg


Moved on to the canopy....covered the nasty seam between the canopy halves with plasticard strips.

IMG_3696_zpss1cnw6to.jpg


Masked...

IMG_3697_zpsqjdddnvx.jpg


Primed in black....

IMG_3698_zps4pc4tit2.jpg


And some putty was needed here too :P

IMG_3699_zpsazzsyqcx.jpg


At least it seems to be less and less putty for every round :P

Cheers!
