The fit of Extratech fret is disappointing, the designer assumed the thickness of the fret equal to 0 🙁

Welcome mates. Any ideas how to fake the rear seatbelts? 🙂

Welcome mates! Erik, thx for the hint 👍

After all I decided to paint the rear seatbelts on a decal sheet - they are not so much exposed as the front ones 🙂
As you can see the fuselage/wings fit is not the best I have seen, so I had to call Perfect Plastic Putty & Roket Odorless for the rescue...

Coming over from the project. Good work so far.

Thanks Maciej, you may like this page: samolotypolskie.pl (you can discover more of such oddities on your own 🙂 )
In the meantime I managed to spray and decal the Taifun, enjoy the pics.

Thanks, let's see how the wash will look like next 🙂

Looking forward for the finish! So far it looks great.

I missed this one, so here I am... did you ever find the part 25?

25 January 2020, 14:18

Łukasz Gliński
Yes, it was something completely different than I expected 😄
I thought these are the struts supporting the horizontal stabilisers, but it's a single part representing some kind of tail balance weight.

25 January 2020, 15:20

Alec K
Could it be to represent the rudder control cable and attachment? If so, there should be another one on the other side (based on some quick Googling). PE is probably not the best for representing the cable IMHO.

25 January 2020, 18:14

Andrea Brenco
confirm, it's the rudder control horn and cable and it has to be on both side of the rudder. I agree on the PE inadeguacy to represent cables, pipes and tubes. HTBH

Olivier
HTBH ? Could you decypher ?

25 January 2020, 18:44

Łukasz Gliński
Hope to be helpful? Well, in such case I'm going to skip it I think, as the PE fret has only a single part #25.

25 January 2020, 19:12

Andrea Brenco
yes, Hope To Be Helpful 😉

Final stretch - I only need to paint the PE handles, fill the side windows, add matt UV varnish and remove the masking.

It's gonna be awesome with or without the damn control horns 🙂

What I like with Scalemates, is that not only can one learn about painting, building, weathering kits but also new forms of language. I just love this place.

26 January 2020, 09:35

Łukasz Gliński
Indeed some native speakers are great sources of nice wording, idioms etc. 🙂
Btw. I announce it finished after two days of waiting for the Kristal Klear to dry 🙂
Hangar is back! But the macro still shows no mercy, the wing/fuselage joint looks like Matchbox kit and now I can see some pimples around the canopy, which I haven't seen beforehand.

Very nice Lukasz 👍

Nice build!!! Don't worry about the macro!!! 😉

You know in France we have Macron. It is much worse than macro. So do not worry too much...
