I got this cheap from hobbycraft and after building the me109 i thought why the hell not do this.
I believe its a reboxed old matchbox kit from quite some time ago and alot of people who have made it have fit issues so it might be a fun build, great thing for a cheap kit it has the option to remove pannels to show the engine and one of the wing guns.
My first experience of airbrushing with tamiya acrylics so also a tester for me too. After starting this yesterday i come to realise that i need a spraybooth extractor as i was high as a kite last night as i didnt have my face mask on properly so ive ordered a booth.
So step one the engine, ive painted it up as i see fit and will add more detail tomorrow as well as weather/wear it up. I also drilled the exhausts so they had a more realstic appearence
Engine weathered up a bit and most of the cockpit interior sprayed in tamiya xf81 raf dark green 2.
Right cockpit all together sprayed and weathered, i even had a go at scratch making some seatbelts.
Glued the fuselage together what a dream this kit is, sorry i mean nightmare, i can see alot of filling and sanding needed.
Some pics of slow progress filled the fusealge without any major issues, wing roots and enginee covers are just a nightmare.
Well its sanded as good as i can do, nowhere near perfect but who cares lol.
Coat of primer on it and got the props done too, got a bit more drive to get this done now this awful thing is together.
Got some camo on it today next step a coat of klear then the decals.
Ok decals on, exhaust painted and weathered again and coat of klear. Only thing is i seem to have lost my front landing gear, i have a feeling its in a bin bag of rubbish still attached to the sprue, so im gonna hve to pop out in a bit and have a look.
A wash next then a satin coat and then the canopies and its done, thank god.
Got some quick pics will get some better ones tomorrow. It aint no masterpeice but its ok for what how awful the kit was.
