Blitzbau House *** Finished ***

[Old_Tonto]

Great mugs.

In no time at all the blackbird is ready for priming.

Great mugs.

Glad you like them, they work for wine too. Cosmic has an instinct for these things.

Most excellent x 3

This A-37 kit from Academy looks lovely.



We are seeing some crackerjack timing Wang.

This old Blackbird kit went together with very little filler. Looks very cool.



And I have managed to get the Delfin stuck together where it touches.



I have to say, not the best kit I've ever built. No location pins and even the wings are butt joined. Not a phrase you want to hear during a Blitzbau. At least the Pork Chop express is making a get away.

Must be time for more fodder.

Apologies for the lack of updates viewers. Spent the last hour working our way through Kababs. I must say, it's sitting a bit heavy. The paint and adhesive fumes hit you when you enter the Blitzbau House. Must open the back door.

Will do another update soon, hopefully with the wings on.

We ought to put a list of recommendations for Blitzbaus together. One of the recommendations would be no heavy food, and another would be fine adult beverages in moderation.

The big silver bird is drying overnight.



His work done Cosmic sleeps.



The sprue gates of the Delfin are very heavy requiring a lot of clean up. Canopy fit is p*$$ poor too.



So this is as far as I've managed tonight.



Going to get some ZZZZ's now.

Great guns guys. Nice progress

[Old_Tonto]

Just woken up from a kebab induced sleep. The Blitzbau house is silent as a mouse apart from Cosmics snoring & smells a little funky.

Let me wake up a bit and I'll give you a halfway (12 hour) report.

Looks like good progress all round!

Blitz brekky



SR-71 is very big & shinny



This is where I am at this morning:



The canopy is was too short for the fuselage hole:



So I made it fit at the front as its easier to fill at the back. Need to get that masked and the kit primed.

[Old_Tonto]

Quick update.

Delfin canopy fits as good as it ever will.


It's going to get a coat of white primer now.

Blackbird is getting some detailing.



Finnski has arrived (must confess I don't remember him leaving ). Brought his specs today so will hopefully make some progress.

[Old_Tonto]

The A-37 is chugging along nicely.



Whilst the SR-71 has decals and some weathering.



Looking very cool.

The Delfin has has a primer coat of white and I just sprayed the first coat of yellow. Looks pretty bright.



Sorry, forgot the clock. It's 10:52 here.
