Splash's P 13a ***Finished***

Post by splash »

Scale 1/72
Lippisch P.13a
By PM
Number of parts eleven

As this is a very simple kit I thought I would throw it together.

Ten minuts into the build time and it's looking like this.

This truly is a horrid kit, the parts don’t fit or align.

I think the way to go with this kit, is to cover it with a tarpaulin and model it as a true top secret project, so no one can see it.

Ooh, I didn't know they'd started doing Liquid Green Stuff. Do tell - how is it?

Hi Brickie

My first impressions are that it’s the dog’s dangly bits, I’m most impressed.

The guy in the shop said expect slight shrinkage, at £2.30 a bottle it looks to be good value.

It’s now had a base coat of light blue and green and starting to look a bit more presentable .

It's a PM kit. You should see the F-86 I've got. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. :???:

What is it with me and canopies lately? I think I will change the way I build my models and put the canopies on at an early stage, (there agin, if I had with this kit it would have probably gone straight in the bin)
