AeroplaneDriver Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 This is a kit I've wanted to build for a long time. Fit is close to perfect. A nice easy build. It's my first time tackling NMF since getting back into building. I haven't ventured into the world of Alclad yet, so this one is pretty basic...Testors Metallizer Aluminum Plate out of a rattle can. I may get more adventurous for the next try at NMF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainObvious Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 That's a really nice job. The NMF looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Good work and nice shine of the aluminum paint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It looks great- I always loved those markings with the cards along the side of the fuselage. Well done! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Very nice build. I like how your cover fit over the ammunition bays. I could not get that nice a fit when I did mine. I had to use some filler and rescribe. To be honest I think Tamiya did not really want you to close it up. I love this kit and I have another in my stash to build. I built my last one as Greek AF in NM. Not sure what I want next though. Edited May 6, 2018 by skyhawk174 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AeroplaneDriver Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 I agree Skyhawk! I love the gun bay, but also think the open bay ruins the lines of the jet. The bay cover is just presses into place. I was lucky that mine fit nicely and looks OK just pressed in. I'm a big "What If" modeler, so my next one of these might very well be early fifties Raf Germany or late fifties FauxAF. It really is a great little kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did not think to just press fit it and glued mine in. I also love what-if stuff. I only really finished one but have more ideas to do. The one I did finish was a Do335 in WWII Italian Air Force with the smoke rings. Came out great I thought and really works on that shape of aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
