And the winner is.......NEV!......i would love to say its the 1\44 kummigawi kit but no its 1/48 Academy. should have most of the airframe together by the weekend so stay tuned..and thanks for all the positive vibes.

Hi all,another couple of quick shots,all shaded and ready for paint. as i said in an earlier post i am just stunned at the way this thing has gone together!! the fit was so good that the seam lines were sanded back with 800 wet/dry then i was able to polish them with tooth paste to get a perfect invisiable join.

That is going to look sharp as get-out. One thing started late last year was using white glue with talcum powder mixed 50/50...give it a whirl in place of the toothpaste...it holds up better. (downside, you can't sand it )

That's what I love about these new 1:12 scale aircraft kits----so detailed that even the cockpit dials can be read.

[Still reeling from the notion that this is the same kit as my own MiG-21 in progress; I could show you my cockpit as proof of just how much better Bluntie's is but I don't want to embarrass the poor guy]

And here she be fresh out of the paint department,i'll let it sit for a couple of days and harden up then i can go over it and fix the fingerprints and overspray,then mask and spray the markings ,add a little bit of weathering,fix some more fingerprints ...
