Dirk HeyerWhy Augie?
What is your problem with this resin?
Kendal Model Company was ( before the company has concluded) one my favorite resin dealer! I build i.e. the Spit Mk. XIV (see Gallery) with KMC Canopy and exterior detail sets. I was absolutely satisfied
Your choice is the best choice ever!!!!!
Fine details and a super clean casting!
🙂
Wish you patience with these Resin parts!

Augie Autor@ Dirk: I think this one is a little warped.. and i think i got the pain horrid..

Holger KranichI feel Sorry about The wrapped parts! That must be disappointing and motivating at the same time!😢

Dirk HeyerAah ok!
If the resin parts are not too thick, you could bend them! Before you dive the warped parts in hot water! An immersion heater is helpful!
I've practiced this many times and it works up to 2 mm thick parts well!

Augie AutorOk, lost my temper.. Stripped paint of the cockpit tub and restarting
13 December 2012, 21:29
Augie Autorso yeah.. cockpit tub stripped down, and starting to repaint..
Frustrating.. but think i have saved it

Augie AutorWell.. Piccies up of the second attempt as it sits so far.. and its sooo much better
14 December 2012, 22:02

Frank KrauseHmm, what were you complaining about the colour before? Worked out fine! 👍 Good job, Augie!
16 December 2012, 17:06
Augie Autor🙂 yeah its turned out nicely, the origninal colour of the tub turned far too grubby/greeny..

Bill GilmanI see you're using the "Wraparound Thuds" decal sheet? I have that one, too, but in 1:72. Which scheme are you using?
22 December 2012, 20:22
Bill GilmanNice! Can't wait to see it finished. I'll probably do the SEA scheme (which is what I'm used to seeing on a Thud), but the wraparound will make it a bit different.
22 December 2012, 22:51
Augie AutorThanks Bill, The other two schemes i have already marked for F-101's 🙂
22 December 2012, 22:54
Augie Autori have a few in SEA a CH-53C, plus a few other options.
I have toa dmit tho, i find SEA a little over done
23 December 2012, 00:24
Augie AutorHehe good idea bill, bit too far along to go for that😉
But have to say the thud does look mean in european one scheme
23 December 2012, 08:51
Augie AutorSo some issues with the dark green, having to repaint them.. other than that.. looking like a Thud..
Planning weapon load now.
