It probably comes from when I was kid and didn't want to look too far ahead and find out of all the exciting stages beforehand! Although it clearly has it's dangers, I still do it. 😳 LOL indeed, then changing the version of the jet you are building AFTER you already put it together has it's drawbacks too :P Reading instruction sheets are for wusses..real men improvise, adapts and overcome!

Aigore Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 One step forward one step back... Painted the arrestor hook...all´s well Now the arrestor hook housing on the other hand...it´s wrong, all wrong and nowhere near an early A...so Made templates for the covers that the early A had... Put it down like so... And then I added more plasticard. MAsked it up... And layed down the putty thick! Nice green cake on top of the arrestor hook :P Sanded... Primed.. And smeared on more putty to cover defects. Thought I´d putty ohter defects while I was at it :P We´ll with all the putty drying I continued with my side project...you´ll see it when it´s done :P Cheers!!

Joel_W Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Janne, Your fortitude in correcting all the issues that Kinetic just let slide for the sake of marketing one boxing to cover two variants has surpassed anything I would have, or could have done a long time ago. You would have thought that at the very least they would have molded an insert to make the correction that much easier. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel This is on me really for following tne instruction sheet to build an E.... there is an A-ish arrestor hook housing I just didn't use it :P How would I known I wanted an A in the end...and an early one at that.

Aigore Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 A teeny tiny update... At least I´m getting up to par :P I pulled panellines on the arrestor hook housing...there will be some antennas and stuff there too later. Painted and unmasked... Took care of those spots as well...primed and repainted :D And the tail... Painted the fuselage airbrakes in Alclad Magnesium. Next the exhausts and then those pesky airintakes...I hate masking inside airintakes! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Janne, The Arrestor hook cover looks really good, as does the air brakes in the Alcad Magnesium. Looking forward to not only seeing your painted air intakes, but your commentary should be most entertaining. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
