SPA Modeler

got all ahead of myself, and forgot to take progress pictures!! Whoopsies


anywho, got the camo on and shaded. All handpainted because I didn't feel like braking open the airbrush





gotta wait for this to cure a bit before I add gloss and decals

Well done with brushes
The kit seems good too, Wells dept apart

heh, I tould ya's the wheel well was no more than an indentation!

Hey that looks super - nice brushwork, it looks like it's been pre-shaded

lol, you want "classic moulding tech", you need to check out their old Hawker Hunter. The boxart for the one I picked up (1975 boxing) shows a trio of all-black jets, so, of course.... the plastic is black!



That stuff took FOREVER to glue, it was more like ABS/plumbing plastic than styrene. It was... an experience.

oh my goodness!

lol, I picked it for a "weekend madness" build at... a forum I shall not name here.

Took two weeks. :(

For a weekend build a nice mordern kit with no fit problems is more appropiate. But two weeks is pretty fast none the less.

lol, yes, that would have worked much better. I was just thinking, NO COCKPIT, small parts counts, simple, wheels-up build. But that plastic, that PLASTIC!!! It was even difficult stuff to use sanding films on.

Lesson learned!

decal time!
