[john i am]

Hi everyone here is my next 1/72 scale model a budget find decals look a bit worse for wear and the canopy looks very tired but I will persevere with the decals if they hold together and the canopy will recieve a lot of tlc with some novus polish thanks for looking and any comments regards John View attachment 82087

This kit comes with no pilot (one of my pet hates ) but I have some eager recruits on standby so one of these will be chopped and fitted snugly into the cockpit a bit of dry fitting reveals this is a badly fitting kit with little detail and will require filling and sanding but I love a challenge lol more later........... Thanks for looking/comments John View attachment 82092

Interesting choice. Looks a nice model, so let's see how all comes together.

Nice choice John will watch this one. Sounds like some work needed

You don't waste any time John! This one might be a challenge, but you're proving the master of cheapo kits to great builds!

Hi everyone just a small update cockpit and pilot secured. A lot of filling/sanding to come all major parts dry fitted all badly fitting lots of flash to deal with on all parts but the small components are the hardest to clean up but making slow progress more later........... Thanks for looking/comments regards John View attachment 82128

I think there's some work needed on the wing - fuselage section John! I'm sure that should be a smooth join?

Yeah cheers Patrick the pictures were for ref: as to the filling required on this budget kit but with a lot of patience and time........ I'm hoping it will turnout presentable thanks for reply regards John

Putty & sanding sticks at the ready!



Actually it reminds me of a Matchbox Alphajet I made when I was 10!

Looks good John, bit of filling required but looks like you are getting the better of this one.
