Model #1 is assembled. The engine really is next this time. The details are just crazy on the kit. The plastic IS very soft though. Not a huge drawback, it is manageable; just an FYI.

So this tow hook was somply butt joined to the frame and kept getting knocked off. I cut the connecting rod off and drilled out the hook and the frame with a 1.2mm bit and used the 1.22mm tube to make a sturdier connection point.

Aww, the obit wasn't there when I posted. Poor thing! Never even got to start living :(

He has two arse holes for shooting bunny pellet countermeasures! Brilliant!

Nope, not engine; next are suspension parts...

Everything seems stable this morning. In preparation for painting the chassis I painted the back side of the light with Vallejo Metal Color Chrome paint, and masked the lens with Val masking fluid. The support bars are made of brass tubing because...well...2 of the kit pieces went flying never...

Ok, it is time to get back to this one. Enough distractions already! I have watched some videos on how others build it. They all agree to complete the painting in stages then combine at the end and do touch up as needed. So basically it will be ten or so little complete models then put them...

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.", or.. "Smile when you say that, Punk!" For @Sharkmouth Saul, who is generous to a fault.

Fantastic! The force was definitely flowing through you 👽

So, would it be caused by the wings or the prop? The images I find show two vortices swirling inward behind the plane but they are all twin engine jets.

Ummmm...maybe? I will look up some reference :)

I was going to do that wasnt I? Dang, still can maybe. Ugh. Or was that the Blackhawk? I was going to do something with a sharkmouth.

As done as I think I will make it. Mystery unit, mystery pilot...

That's a negative ghost rider. But if they are like any other enamel such as Testors, Humbrol, or MCW, thinning and cleaning with Xylene will do the trick for airbrushing or brush brushing. For brush brushing a Sable hair (particularly Kolinski sable but 'spensive as H E double hockey sticks)...

OMG, I knew something!!! What a great day :Drinks:

Fantastic as usual! Geez, that is tiny in your fingers. It is why I have to build 1:48 (or 32) I can't see what you are doing!!

Welcome to the madnesss BM. I build pretty much everything, but I particularly love 3D modeling and have been using Blender for a couple of years. So far, I have done nothing organic like making a person, but I can make cars, motors, tires, trailers, etc. I currently am running one Elegoo Saturn...

Dude! That's what we call making a silk purse out of a sows ear. Well done!! I would be happy with it on my shelf... ;)

The leading edge is to the left which is why I thought the other was backwards.

Am I right that the propeller was spinning backwards? I redid the print but it isn't too late to turn the props the other way. Does this look right? Also, decals. The decals were extremely thin and tore just looking at them. The edges of the ones I managed to get right will vanish easily. This...
