Sword 1:72 U-125A JASDF Air Rescue

Daniel Klink
Watching 👍

Mirko Römer
A familly aircraft 🙂

Mirko Römer
Looks like this bird requires some filler and sanding. The inner seam line in the aft engine section was filled a little, as its splitted in reality because it has an upper and lower thrust reverser section.

Mirko Römer
More putty. More sanding. More rescribing.

Mirko Römer
Thinned down the wing fences, landing lights installed.

Daniel Mysak
Nice work so far.👍 I built the U-125 last year, not an easy kit.

Mirko Römer
Thank you Daniel! I've seen your model before, it is very inspiring and turned out beautifully! I think I'll stick with the dark 028 - which requires the same modifications you did on your model. Still a long way to go - thanks for showing that it's worth the effort. Who knows, maybe Sword's Ligntning T.4/5 will be the next project to tackle from my stack as I lost some fear now. 🙂

Daniel Mysak
It's definitely worth the effort, there are not much built u-125 to see. If you´re goeing to use the Mr.Hobby paints, you´ve got to pay attention to the lighter blue. It doesn´t match the original color very well, so I oversprayed it with a layer of Tamiya Clear Blue.

Mirko Römer
Thank you for your helpful idea! I already thought, that the mr hobby colours are the way to go and could benefit from some more blue. You've got some very admirable models in your album!!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Very nice project

Mirko Römer
Thanks Juergen, it's a project, indeed! 🙂

Mirko Römer
Warning devices on the fin, radom seam line, pylons and pods completed. Daniel's build was a great help here, thanks! I never would have seen these triangular flanges on the pylons. Next steps are the chaff/flare dispensers at the rear bottom and the navigation lights.

Daniel Mysak
Nice progress, the pods look great.👍

Oleg Smilyk
Watching !

Mirko Römer
Thank you mates! Dispensers attached. I'm now back into sanding... 🙂

Inspiration from a TV documentary about snow leopards this evening.

Fantastic job so far 👍

Mirko Römer
Thanks, I hope this project will accelerate in the next weeks.

Following!

Łukasz Gliński
How come I'm not following this? The support you got is incredible and so is the marbling 🙂

Mirko Römer
Thanks, it's not a real team effort, but I'm pretty happy both kids at least understand and appreciate this hobby. No write-offs of any air or land vehicle so far because they respect the time and effort put into a model. From time to time im supporting their first modelling steps, so it's win-win-win 🙂

Pierre Pierre
following ! original and neat !

Mirko Römer
Thanks Pierre, very kind comment! It's no easy kit but I think it will be quite nice once finished ?

Łukasz Gliński
Nice progress, is the kit really that bad?

Mirko Römer
Thanks Łukasz, the kit isn't bad at all, but requires a good amount of sanding and filler. Some details aren't present, e.g. the chaff/flare dispenser and the ecr gondolas for the darker version. But for the grey/light blue version all parts are included. Not for beginners, but feasable.

Juergen Klinglhuber
you coming closer to finishing line - nice progress 👍

Cuajete
Nice job 👍

Mirko Römer
Thanks for the nice comment!

Mirko Römer
2.5 years... 🤗 Still thinking about adding static dischargers.

Oleg Smilyk
Great job, Mirko!

Mirko Römer
Thanks Oleg! That was quite a long flight.

Oleg Smilyk
Yes, Mirko, but the result is excellent!

Daniel Klink
But it worked out in the end nearly perfext..
Wow amazing result Mirko!! Love it👍

Mirko Römer
Thanks mates, I'm glad you like it!

Łukasz Gliński
I think I skipped them on mine, decided they are too small in reality

Mirko Römer
That's what I thought, too. So...completed! 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Very nice finish then 😉 👍
I have to admit the metal inlets do their job, pity they are so hard to get 👍

Finn
Well done!

Mirko Römer
Thanks mates!
