Oops , sirry , my fat fungers keep ptessung the wring keus1/62 scale Tony?
Yes well spotted karl ! Give that man a cigar ! I cut off the solid plastic gunsight glass and will be replacing it with a tiny bit of holographic confetti or clear plastic , cheers tonyAre you replacing the kit deflector sight? Tempted to get Khaden to replace his with a piece of clear film. Should look better than painting a part silver.
So far Paul the only things I’ve come up against are - the Fuselage locating pins were slightly off so the joint was a little stepped , sort it by either cutting them off or as I did just make the locating hole a bit bigger to give a bit of play . The canopy is a tight fit , the front edge of the windscreen has a lip which is supposed to go behind the front of the cockpit opening just above the instrument panel , I shaved a bit off the cockpit opening here and sanded a little off the back edge of the canopy . One other thing to watch out for is the plastic is VERY soft , even when removing from the sprue with cutters it can tear and cause unnecessary filling. Apart from these minor issues it’s making into a lovely looking kit , cheers tonygoing to start mine in the next day or so, at least i can follow you to see what the pitfalls are
Cheers matey ,it does look disgusting doesnt it , hopefully my ugly duckling will turn into a swan . I think that the camo was used in both versions ,with the green and brown reversed , as for if its right , Ive no idea ,I just followed the nice picture on the back of the box .Mucker, that first photo looks quite disgusting.
Thank goodness I paint the easy way - Wiv a brush!
Now, here's a thing, and I really couldn't give a t*ss which is right, but your wing camouflage squiggles are the exact opposite to the one's I'm doing on my Hurricanes.
I've had a look on Google Images and both are used.
I'd be interested to know which pattern is the right one?
