Aigore Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Right, a slight sign of life 😄 Corona hasn´t got to me yet 😛 (knock on wood) Tho I´m home we two children with sligh colds and sniffles..but nowdays it´s enough to be put in quarantine 😕 well I´m using my time....it´s not like I don´t have anything to do.... On to the build... The resuklt after the first sanding session left me still with traces of 3D printing and distinct bulges where the plasticard is placed. So on with more putty! And after the second round of sanding it looks like this. The green stuff fills the indentation from sanding the seam to hard. Put on the tail fin to do something else before the dreaded rescribing. Rescribing...has to be done but I loathe it! Then I prepped for bettering the cockpit colors around the tub. LIke so... Then I glued in the IP and seat. Next is adding the sights and then mask the canopy and windscreen before painting and primer 😄 Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I'm loving this build. The more I watch it the more I want to start mine. I think I should wait till yours is mostly done though, so I know where all the tips and problem areas are. So, Keep it coming Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gianni We're fine, our youngest have a cold but that kept her sister from school and me from work as well... been hone since Tuesday last week and it looks like we'll be spending next week at home too. We only leave home for groceries and a bit of air now and then and we kick out the kids for bike rides once a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Time for an update.... It´s small but picture intensive 😛 First I set out to mask the canopy and windcsreen.... The inside... The window seals... And added the sights....tho I later had to reposition it to allow for the windscreen. Added some stuff to the windscreen frame.. Then I shot pink sealer... And interior color... Masked for the top colors. The tape took off a wee bit of the frame color when I unmasked the inside but I´ll live with that. Glued the windscreen in place. And glued on the canopy temporarely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Added resin gun barrels... put the gunpack in place. Next it is time to replace the static dischargers with neat turned brass ones from Master. Neat, eh? Then I cut a corner, literally...was removing the plastic discharger and trimmed off the corner of the rudder 😕 Glued on a piece of plasticard and trimmed it to fit. Then I added the rest of the fiddley stuff. SWOOOSH! starting to look the piece...Now I´ll take a break since I´m getting all flimsy 😛 Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Looking good. Interesting, your work area looks almost as cluttered as mine. Makes me feel good knowing that I'm not the only one with stuff all over the place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is regardless of how much space you have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Here we go again...soon time for primer 😄 Added the speedbrakes in closed position. And som PE to the nose...not too much since I´ll be polishing there after priming. Added the static dischargers to the wing tips....I´ve bent them trice already 😛 Went ahead and lost the rearward antennae....but found it again amazingly. And the positioning lights... Well then nothing to do but to mask for priming. wsell on with the primer and a quick polish with 2000 grit sanding pads....looks alrigt 😄 A wee bit of bettering on the surgey seam and I think I saw some middle seam show through too. on the whole I´m happy with it 😄 Cheers!
