Interesting build! But man, do I hope you had a dust mask when you drilled out that opening in the back! 😮 An awful lot of resin dust there!

Hey Patrick! Your are right - it was a mess. 😉 And I hope it was worth doing that operation.

I just recently updated with few more pictures - I am a desperate modeler. First time scribing: I am not happy with the output 🙁 I have to take that as a lessons learned....

What kind of paint do you normally use? I like to use lacquers and when I doubt my scribing, I spray some gloss lacquer on to see how it looks under paint. After that I just take it off again with 91% alcohol and continue my build.

When you don't like your scribing, fill in the grooves with sprue goo, sand flush and scribe in that. Because it cures as plastic, it's a very solid scribing material and much more forgiving than brittle resin.

Wow, that's a lot of carving, looks like snow 😄 Following

THX Patrick for your advice. Well noted. That's what I like on scalemates - someone is there to share experiences and to help out,...thx and I will try this by next change.

Well first the PC-6 now the PC-7... as an Austrian I have them in my stash too 😉
(Took me some effort to get them...)
Good to have a pro to learn and follow 🙂

Hi & welcome NorK. I know what you mean - Austrian Airforce "Schmetterlingssammlung" is hard to complete. IF you get them, the build can become a pain... e.g. Marivox Saab 105,...
I started a "collection" folder with the aim so list (=build) all flown types since 1955. Well,...kind of challenging. Time will show if that list once get completted. 🙂

update - I figured out that spinner from the kit(s) to not match the real thing in size and shape. I decided to scratch with spare parts from my rummage box to come closer.

Anyone ever stumbled over Herstal Gunpods in 1/72 ? I did not and decided to scratch them - not sure how they turn out,....

Juergen Klinglhuber
I had the same Issue with LAU32-7 rocket launchers,...was not able to find that one in 1/72. So again some scratch work where required. Meanwhile I have a first layer of dark green on those pods...

Juergen Klinglhuber
Pod and Launcher - done.

Great work so far!

Nice scratchbuilding 👍

Thx Mirko.
Thx Lukasz. That makes it even more interessing,... (to me).

You made me start thinking of buying the Dutch one, one day maybe... 🙂

after some months of zero progress I was able to spend some time on my PC7 trainers,....

Patient work there Juergen!

Łukasz Gliński
Nice to see this couple back on the workbench 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi Andy, Lukasz - you know that normally I like to puzzle over such kind of tasks and to try to make the best out of such kits (from my perspective of course 😉 )
.... to keep the patience and to avoid butchering the kit instead, I take a break sometimes to calm down...so - actually no clue when I will continue ! (🙂 kidding)

Cold & Rainy outside - a perfect day to spend time at the paint booth. Some progess on this one....

Great looking paint, Juergen! I prefer one a little more colourful though...

Getting there... 🙂 Or did Gordon convince you to try that lollipop scheme? 😉
14 October 2020, 00:53
Juergen Klinglhuber
🙂 Gordon, Patrik - I like lollipops. But for this bird I guess I have to stick with my original plans. Sorry.
But bird 2 of this douple build will get a more colourful dress - I hope you will like it 😉
stay tuned...

Paint job #2 ready to go. Gordon...what to you think? 😉 not really a lollipop but,...close!

Orange is my favourite colour! Looking forward to seeing the paint come together. And great job on the builds! Some very impressive scratch building and detailing!
6 November 2020, 19:55
Patrick Hagelstein
Orange??? As a Dutch guy, I'm in! 😄

A little update - made some progress on the paint job.

Jürgen, I take a closer look at the two PC-7s.
20 November 2020, 17:03
Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi Stefan. Tricky kits those two ...But I'm motivated to get the best out of it. Only limited by my skills.....on the other hand I learned alot during this build (keyword -Future & Gunze; amongst others...) 😉
21 November 2020, 14:05
Juergen Klinglhuber
A mishap - I have to reconsider how to proceed now. TheGold of the decal didn't entirely cover the orange layer.
29 November 2020, 17:11
Gordon Sørensen
Great job on the masking of the blue! Not any easy looking job, either.
5 January 2021, 12:09
Łukasz Gliński
Wow, great progress on the blue one, looks lovely
5 January 2021, 12:22
Juergen Klinglhuber
Thx, Gordon & Lukasz - I was a bit wary and unconfident on how to fix that issue for the last couple of weeks. But - nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm lucky that this LH side went quite ok. Tackling the other one asap.
5 January 2021, 13:32
Juergen Klinglhuber
So as the Me 262 group build had a higher priority this bird had to wait,.... but not too much was remaining, so therefore I can call this douple build "completed" now. Some pics of those 2 and as a quardruple with 2 older builds will follow asap. cheers
