"Wilde Sau"...1/72
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2015 12:05 pm
With the Hydra on hold...awaiting decals 
...I started a pair of 190's.
1/72 Hasegawa and Airfix.
Got ahead of myself with the Hase kit and forgot to take progress pics. Used an old Eduard PE set on it....major PITA...CA has very little effect on that stuff!
The Airfix kit (my 3rd go at this one) gets a PE set from Brengun, along with the left over flap bits from the old Eduard set(for Hase kit). This one will be marked as an A-8 "Yellow 12" with extra armor!
The pit, with a little help from Brengun (nice set BTW...a bit stiff, but decent none the less!). IP has the acetate film thatchya sammich in there.
The kits main gears are fully extended, I removed the very end(where wheels mount, and attached em to new scratched gears (aluminum/brass tubing)...I did an extra pair while I was at it, for another Airfix kit, to be built later)
The Airfix kit really does not lend itself easily, to dropping the flaps. The whole flap is molded solid with the top of the wing...I carved most of it away, then broke out a grinding bit and sandpaper for the rest. The flap itself is sheet styrene with the PE piece.
PE ammo chutes...nothing in the kit for these...just empty holes.
And...the Hase kit, as it stands now...
It will end up as an A-6 "Yellow 1"...looking like a porcupine!
Basically like this...but a YELLOW 1...

I love your wild boars and want to make them squeal like pigs.
