After my recent Tamiya and Hasegawa builds, I had quite forgotten how gappy the older Revell kits could be…

Hey ho silver! Now that's getting a nice little pony. Any ideas/plans for the color yet?

I intend to use this one: https://www.zero-paints.com/Pagani_Huayra_Pearl_Red_Rosso_Dubai_Paint_30ml--product--8025.html
Perhaps some white stripes off-centre?

Some issues arose. The upper wishbones of the rear suspension didn't want to stay were they were supposed to go. Big blob of glue was needed.
During final assembly, I was glueing the headlamp with some clear. The clear part escaped from my tweezer, dodged the carpet monster and the other dimension portal, but landed in the drop of super glue I had ready for glueing the complete headline in the body. Some adult words were used!

A triumph Martin. I'll keep an eye out for the film of the backstory for this model. Hollywood blockbuster? Or Euro Art house film? Choices choices 😄

Thank you gentlemen. Today a few steps towards the finish line. Added a wash to the gear doors, joined the wings and the fuselage, glued the engines and glued the undercarriage in place. Waiting for the glue to dry now.

It sure is Jan!
So when she was done, she was still a tailsitter! Luckily I hadn't glued the gun cover, especially for this eventuality. So more lead was added and now she stands tall!
I added some streaks with Ammo Oilbrusher. First time too

What a great collection images/cold war aircraft. Thanks for posting.
Shame you cant catalog images individually. It would make a great database on SM. Or can you somehow ? Im rather new to the site so please let me know.

Hi, one of the Mirage III's is actually a ex-Belgian Mirage 5. The "Belgian" Fouga is a mix of an ex-Belgian and an ex-French Fouga.

Martin, no problems
I know that few museums indicate correctly the aircraft's (sub)type, especially if they have been repainted with colors and markings they never have worn during active service. At Hermeskeil, several displayed aircraft have this problem. Just have a look at my FB-album about Hermeskeil. It might help you out

Go get him Chip! 2 things: 1. The black behind the rear window should be gloss, my mistake. 2. To get the rear window to fit, you need to sqeeze te lower front parts between the B-pillars . That one too me 10 minutes to figure out.

Nice job, turned out looking great.
The cast textured surface you applied to the turret is particularly well done. 👍

I bought this kit for my dad as a christmas/birthday gift. I already painted the body in a different colour and gave it back to him. He tried to put the kit together, but he quit, parts were ill-fitting etc. So I said I'd throw it together for him. Alas, if it weren't for my dad, I would have chucked it. Being a snaptite kit, tolerances are non-existent. Holes were closed, others too tight, others too wide.
Only two kinds of people should buy this:
- Masochists, there really is somebody out there loving you, don't buy this.
- Sadists, I think I saw Donald Trump give one of these to Mike Pence "To show my true feelings about your service in the last 4 years."

To be fair, the fit is probably period accurate for the vehicle. I've worked on enough 60s and 70s Beetles to attest to that. seems a little CA glue would sort those engine stickers out. Not very snap fit I know.

Htanks Chaz. I'm not complaining about flush body panels. It's about pins not fitting into their holes. Brute force was needed to get the tub into the body. We're 5 hours later, and my thumbs are still sore from pressing on 1 specific part.

So I had quite a few digital meetings which requires less than 100% attention... so I polished the car. I was so happy with the result I bagged the pieces and took m to my dad. And forgot pictures.
I'll take some when he is done building. Stay tuned!
