Hi Ian I didn't expect Tamiya but i didn't expect it to be that bad

So ok it's a bit of a beast. However the satisfaction to be gained put of taming such a kit immense. (I'm just glad it's not my build)

Hi Ian

Stick with it I'm sure you'll win through. Believe it or not I've seen and built worse. Limited run kits or kits by smaller companies tend to be a bit more of a challenge. The progress you've made looks very clean and precise.

Good stuff

Got the cockpit put together a LITTLE bit of filler needed [ATTACH]43512.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43513.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43514.vB[/ATTACH] But to be honest this is the hardest bit the wings and tail plane are all solid cast so should go together with little problems. Then its just the RIGGING to do

Hope you stick with this one Ian, can't wait to see it finished

Remember, nothing worthwhile is easy

I agree that you'll make a good job of this Ian, got every confidence to be honest. looks like you've made a good start as well.

Just keep the piccies coming so we can see the progress ok

And thanks Ian for the info on the kit, interesting stuff and nice to see that people with knowledge of the original have had a major part in the model design.

So your almost finished then! Body, tail, thats about it in it? a few bits of wood to hold the two together....

[papa 695]

Yes Ian and the small matter of the RIGGING not much else to do

[Ian M]

:laughing: Well yes there is that as well. And there is lots of it... Have you seen that thread "to much string" might be a useful one for reference

Ian M

[papa 695]

I could do a BPSNICK and add it to the photos afterwards :grinball1: Only kidding i will do it the old fashioned way and fit it myself

[Ian M]

:tongueout3:

Right I found that thread I referred to it was this one:

A great example. Have fun.....
