me, so this will have to be somewhat of a Blitzbau.
My chosen subject is the Hobby Boss 1/48 scale McDonnell F3H-2 Demon. The kit has 220 parts,
7 clear parts, a small etched fret and markings for any of four different aircraft. Here is what
I'm starting with (some parts already removed sprues but no gluing or painting has been done).
Two differing shades of grey plastic have been used - I couldn't tell you why, but I know there are
different variants of this kit available, so maybe there are common sprues for all, but individual
ones to determine the final variant?!
Three of the four decals options shown on one side of the colour painting plan sheet...
...and the fourth on the other side. I haven't decided which one I will be doing yet.
Example instruction sheet pages - very nicely laid out - colour call outs are for Mr,Hobby and
Gunze Sangyo paints, but can easily be found on colour comparison charts for Humbrol or Tamiya
(and maybe even Xtracolor) paints that I have to hand.
Right, well I'd better crack on then. It doesn't help that I'll be working away from home on 12 hour
shifts for part of next week, but I'll try as best I can to finish it for the 29th!
Cheers
Al.
