SPA Modeler

the front fuselage of the eagle is separate to allow hasegawa to switch out sprues for a two-seat version. That said...why does it attach on a butt-join?!? There is really no support or alignment tabs on this area, so I made my own with snippets of spare sprue. But no matter the wiggling, I couldnt get a flush join. This is such an awkward area to putty and sand....



the other two went together with little issue, just a few areas needing to be clamped.

thanks Kari!! I have my moments....


A busy weekend with family kept me from the workbench, but I snuck away here and there to work on the kits. Here is the trio all put together:



a bit of putty and sanding...

Looking great so far Owl!

That looks like my workbench with all those projects going at the same time... only yours is cleaner!

Way to go Owl, keep 'em coming!

Very nice Owl!

Started on paint!

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!

That is looking pretty sweet!

Spectacular Owl! Very nicely done!
