Evening all,
Got the last bits on her ready for painting, good thing to have the masks included for all that glass:tongue-out3:
The lower canopy and the gunners skylight had the most fit issues, being a tad too big and with a very small contact area in the fuselage for the glue to stick on.
Might remove the latter for the open variant if it looks offending after the paints have hit:thinking:
Included in the kit was a nice pe semicircle aerial for on top of the turret, had the five piece thing fully aligned glued and when the moment arose to put it on ‘’pling’’ off to my lap and then under my leg resulting in a very flat aerial...:disappointed2:
Various attempts to correct didn’t work out so off it went and then just a single piece of plastic will be there just like the box-art, good thing I had a hour of running to clear the frustration before masking every opening and getting any loose bits ready for the primer coat:
Props from the brassin bits were made too, great that Eduard uses a softer resin that is easily cleaned by a knife:
Next stop the paint booth, thanks for looking in.
Fernando
