Re: Splash's Buzz
This is quick work indeed Splash and is looking very sharp! I've never built a Hobby Boss kit and although the cockpit detail looks a bit sparse, the rest of the airframe looks nicely done.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: Splash's Buzz
Thanks for the feed back.
Shaun I would recommend building a HobbyBoss kit, they are like the modern day version of Matchbox, reasonable price, quick to build, but sometimes slightly basic. But unlike Matchbox and the New Airfix kits the surface detail is quite fine on the HobbyBoss kits.

Re: Splash's Buzz
There will be a short intermission, normal service will be resumed after the weekend.
Out last night, family due around tonight and Yeovilton Airday on Saturday, if I get a spare ten minutes, I will give it a coat of Klear add the cockpit decals and close the canopy ready for adding the external decals.

I managed to get an hour on the bench today and started to add the decals

That looks great Splash. I will give a HB kit a go.

Those decals look better than the Blue Impulse Sabre ones.

Re: Splash's Buzz
Due to problems I have had on another build, I have spent little time on this bug, but it's starting to hatch and should be buzzing around soon.
Tonight I painted the canopy and added a coat of white to the undercarriage.

Re: Splash's Buzz
That is looking very nice now Splash and, from what I can see, all of the parts appear to be attached the right way round - bonus

I think it looks to clean so it will get so weathering just to break up the monotone finish.Jagewa wrote:Super clean and crisp springs to my mind.

That looks very good. If I ever get the urge to do a pointy grey jet, that would be the one.
