Looks like this tiny kit will receive quite a lot of modifications. 👀

Scratching gear details in 144th scale? I'm in, this is beyond what I could even imagine 👍

Started soldering the other wheelwellcovers.. pe parts differ a bit from kit parts dimensionally. Don't if they are based on the real doors or what is going on now... Checking everything to see if it is a big deal when positioned open (it's on the underside)...

Wheelbaycovers soldered... ready to clean

Dryfit... PE is too large it seems.. will build the rest first and see what can be done after a general dryfit...

Thank you guys..

Spanjaard
holly molly.... how do you keep those tiny pieces in place?? glue or soldered. amazing

16 August 2022, 07:41

Bart Goesaert Author
thank you Spanjaard, this has been glued.. everything is a bit to close to be able to solder. for the tiniest parts, I put the part on a knife, then apply some slow curing glue on the tip of the missile. drop the part in place. put it straight and fix with CA...

17 August 2022, 09:45

Matthew A
I'd be terrified of coughing and lossing the parts forever

17 August 2022, 12:42

Spanjaard
Thanks Bart. They look amazing

17 August 2022, 13:53

Bart Goesaert Author
@Matthew: spareparts are provided... and luckily a lot of extra's to compensate for the ping... and in summer during a heat wave... no need for sneezing

17 August 2022, 17:17

Spanjaard
good, because sneezing will probably not just send the small parts flying, but even the completed missiles 🙂

17 August 2022, 19:28

Spanjaard
Mine should be arriving this week, after seeing this beauty, I could not stop myself from ordering the Flanker. I have not yet but the courage to order the missiles from shelf oddity....

Enjoy that one. It is a nice one. Put it aside for a bit to get a clear view again...
