Are you going to assemble the entire gun before you paint, or paint in subassemblies?

subassemblies!

first dissapointment with this kit! while the AVF-Club 88 has the wiring for the bells molded on, the wires are completely missing on this kit! so i checked the loads of 88 pics i have and glued on some wire to the best of my knowledge! that "clamp" thingy holding them is a small piece of paper cut away from a post-it! i'll trim it down, no worries!

you also may notice that the chain on the RHS is smaller than the one on the LHS! i had not enough length of the AFV-Club chain left so i took the H0 chain i normally use on my vehicles! underscaled but still much better than the gigantic DML one!

Nice song Laura - well the German traumatic relationship to the F-104, the "widow maker" or "coffin nail" as it was named here

Even in the Italian Airforce the F 104 had that nickname....Many italians pilots have crashed with this fighter.

In my Clint Eastwood Voice .... " I know what you're thinking Moon Pup , did I fire six rounds or only five , but being as this is a Smith and Wesson 88mm , the most powerful handgun in da world it has the ability to blow your wing clean off , so you gots to ask yourself " Am I feeling lucky Pup ? " "

And by the time you get all that out I've cruised 2 miles down range.

 

[G Cooper]

2 miles ehh.

And what exactly IS the range of an "88" hole punch :evil: .

Sweet , what is the aqua colored stuff ?

Jenny :kiss:

 

[G Cooper]

Ohhh, yeah.

Brass is good. And more brass is better. And this is lookin real good. I was just thinking how nice that DML grey plastic looks. It's kind of the way that the Tamiya tan used to look to me about 15 years ago .

gunze liquid masking - those parts covered stay silver and why should i paint them when they are already silver?

Moon Puppy would be starting to get a little bit nervous... The part that goes "bang" is pointing upwards.... hmy:

Hi Laura.

Your "88" is looking great .

All the brass and turned aluminun looks nice. How long until it can stand on it's own four feet.

Sweeeeet looking now , B) I love it Laura .

I made up a little song I sing when I read this thread , you sing it to Frosty the snowman ......

Its called Moon Pup the pilot and it goes

Moon pup the pilot with a big hole in his wing ,
If the hole gets any bigger ,
He'll have to ditch that thing !

Moon pup the pilot with a big hole in his tail ,
If the hole gets any bigger ,
He's gunna have to bail !

:woohoo:

Jenny :kiss:
