A model Bisnovat 5-1 and 5-2 1/72

I read up on these little birds the other day after you posted this thread. Now that I know what to look for, the differences stand out immediately. Nice work so far!

Thanks to the Internet even information on these rare birds can be found!

Incredibly cool work, Borg! Great to have you back within these electromagnetic walls! Full speed ahead or whatever the Borg rally cry is... "Assimilate..."

Those birds really get a new meaning when you start to read about them!

Wish I had also some Legos left, they really make up functional rigs!

A tiny bit of progress:
I masked the canopy and finished final construction.

Nice to see your work here again! But you may have to change some of your img codes as postimage is no longer on a .org domain, but instead on a .cc domain.

[BorgR3mc0]

Yes, I see. Fortunately all the pics are still in my account so that should be a relatively easy adjustment.

I have picked this build up again. And sanded and sprayed both airy. I used a Duplicolor spraycan (my usual holiday “go to” paint solution).

Those two are looking good all primed up!

Great to see them again!
Very smooth and nice finish!

The grey I sprayed turned out a bit rough so I wet sanded it with 2000 grit sandpaper. After that is did a simple oil wash for some depth and panel lines.



There are only two decals on the tail so that should be lilttle work.
