Aigore Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Been doing MERs.... The EDuard MERs are really exquisite small models in their own right! I don´t think I´ll be using anything else in the future! I needed 4 of them for this build...lots of small parts and decals to go with them. I drilled out the rear ends with a 1.6mm dril, I believe there is a little controlpanel in there All 4 built and ready for paint. I primed them in Alclad white primer and then I painted them in gloss white. Next tsome details and decals :D Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yes, there was a small control panel on the back of MER's. If you are putting RBF on the model a RBF would go on this control panel.

Joel_W Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Janne, Eduard's Mervs are indeed exquisite. Looking forward to seeing them with their bomb loads. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Gorgeous MERs, wow -- so wonderfully detailed. And its got those curved placards, too. I had to cut up the Hase ones for those. That would've been a real time-saver. Now I feel like I served time : ( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish they produced bigger sets of 24 and 12, they ran out on Hannant's...I had to complement with early snakes to get my numbers up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Speedy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi. I've been following this marvellous build from the back row, but with your choice of MER & TER 1/48 I totally commit to get as much as you can. I did the same with the 1/32 stock of Hannants when the first arrived. Keep up with the quality of building, it's always a treat to see your progress. Kind regards, Robert Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Stairway to heaven.. My mate Erik lent me his P&D set so now we´re in business! I went at it....and well the first result wasn´t that good. So 4 new frames were made... Took some care in punching the holes this time... I´m good with this, some minor variations but it´ll still look good. Time to assemble the ladders! put some piano wire in for stability. Punched small holes in the steps. Glued them in... added more parts to the steps. Made handle bars... And put them in... Now the ladders are pretty much done, I´ll do some tweaking and then add the supports after painting. I´m pretty happy with them, sure I could go really anal if I wanted to but there is a reason why I never win model shows, I´m too lazy for that last bit of perfection ;P Cheers!

Aigore Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 I see the Light! I cleaned the ladders before primer... On with black primer... Then white.. painted in gloss white.. A clear coat and a light wash. And in they go! Added the supports.. Done...looks far far better then the plastic lumps that were in the box :D Well per se the aircraft is done....all that is left are the pylons, MERs and all 22 snakes! Cheers!

Joel_W Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Janne, Just an outstanding effort scratch building those two ladders. I'm sure that you'd turn a few judges heads with them. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
