Papa 695's PLA ZTD-05 AAAV

[papa 695]

Nearly finished the 1/72 Revell Jaguar so decided to start this. Ron may remember me getting this kit, it was his gentle persuasion that made me get it but it was a bargain

So over to the dark side for a while

I remember this one too Ian , a nice looking bit of kit, but where do the wings fasten on?! Are you going to be buying any clear silicone for this , it would look wicked just charging onto the beach like the box top?!! cheers tony

[papa 695]

That's the idea Tony just like the box art so plenty of clear sealant required I've sent a message to Hobby Boss letting them know they forgot to include the wings

[yak face]

Great stuff ! cant wait to see the build , cheers tony

[Guest]

Yep guys! What's happening with the clear silicone??? Many of us are attempting with it!!

Seriously Ian...very nice, different and fantastic choice!

Don't forget us... remember; pics, pics...

And 1 of those hours must have been spent on the floor looking for the tiny bits that pinged when trying to clean them up

[Guest]

Don't know why I missed this starting ... Right up my alley (ooerrr missus)

Sorry for the late reply Polux but I'm thinking of having it buttoned up landing on the beach so no figures ( phew )
