Patrick HagelsteinNice additions and cool colors in the cockpit! They liven up the basis kit parts substantially.

RonaVery impressive built! I think the most noticeable issue of the academy kit is the main landing gear. The legs are way too long (2mm) and the MLG doors are too massive. But this is relatively easy to fix. Following!

Michael KohlI like your efforts at detailing and painting. Mottling and oils lead to a good overall effect.

Mr DDo you use copper wire??
I was watching a YouTube vid and the guy was using the wire out of sandwiches bag ties, you know the type they twist to hold new electric cables ect.
It looked ideal for simulating wiring n break lines ect.
Nice job on the seatbelt's looking good 👌

TrevHello Davy. I'd like to try and recreate what you did with the wheel wells on this model on the one I'm working on. I've not tried scratch building like that before so it's new ground for me. Can you tell me what supplies I'd need to get started? Thanks.

Davy VosHi Trev! Sorry for the late reaction, I must have missed your message completely. What I use most of the time are Evergreen polystyrene profiles (rods and squared), lead wires (scalemodel product) and spare parts. If you have those, all you need left is a good CA glue. Begin with adding a few details, and try to expand it every build. That way you'll keep the process and learning curve fun 😊👍🏻

Snake PlisskenIs it similar to a commemorative edition or just meant to replicate natural metal finish?
20 September, 20:05
Ben MIt's aluminum plated to represent the actual nmf finish. I built a t-33 where I had some issues that I hope to improve upon.
21 September, 04:29
Ben MDid a lot of sanding areas that will be glued, masking, fitting parts to each other, and basic assembly while I'm on vacation. I got new decals from Siam decals as the originals are from 1968 and not in good shape. I'm not sure how old the Siam decals are but they are newer than '68. One thing that is apparent is the stripey tail decal doesn't fit at all. This is going to be a good challenge to resolve.

Ben MDecided to try to apply the 1960s decal for the cockpit, as I don't have an alternative. Had to soak it for about a minute in hot water to get it to release. As is typical for hawk kits the decal isn't the right size but you go to war with the decals you have. I got it to apply without shattering. Unsure if it will stick, very old decals like this often have to be glued in place.

Ben MI think the Siam Scale decals I'm using instead of the originals are about 20 years old but they're going on ok. A little thick, so not settling down into panel lines but I'll try some decal fluid once they set in place, hopefully they will on the aluminum surface! The roundels are two part so I will have to do a second layer…

Mr DSmart little model.... unusual in the factory chrome 👍👍
Nice classic kit.
Bit of heat of hairdryer works with thick decals.... nice n steady.
Like it 😁👍
27 October, 15:36
Ben MThat's a good idea, I may give it a try. First I'm going to upgrade from micro sol to mark fit.
27 October, 15:56
Mr DI use Mark fit ....but recently found the Vallejo one works amazing... Just used it on my in progress IAR-80.
Definitely my go to now.
The moon ships is great 👍👍
27 October, 16:15
Ben MAn interesting detail I note while decaling. The panel lines on the fuselage are engraved. The panel lines on the wings are raised. Wtf.
28 October, 01:52
Desert MarlinI've been using Mr. Mark Softener and Mr. Mark Setter. They worked well on some Kitty Hawk decals which are pretty stubborn...
28 October, 04:19
Ben MThe tamiya mark fit and some work with a needle solved the problems! Thanks for all the great ideas everyone. Onwards!
28 October, 16:13
Ben MDid a bunch of cut the decals into pieces to fit a different model than they were made for. Came out fairly well. Subassemblies are getting larger as the project comes together.
3 November, 03:49
Mr DIt's looking really good 👍
It's great that the kits can still be built after all these years.
The people in the factory's would have never believed the model they are packing wouldn't be built until 2024 🤔🤣.
Nice build to follow 😃
3 November, 21:52
Ben MAlmost complete. Popped the main fuselage seam a bit 🙁 I had gone to a lot of work to hide it. For some reason even after carefully scraping the mating surfaces I just don't get good adhesion. Maybe next time I will try only using CA for assembly on my next plated kit.
3 November, 22:06
Ben MThe decal sheet says 23rd squadron Kohkratiem AFB, but there's not much on the internets. Possibly a misspelling? The Royal Thai Air Force had F8F's from 1951 to 1963.
Thanks to Siam Scale for the decals, without which this project would be hopeless. The sheet number is 48003 if that helps anyone.
3 November, 23:15
Desert MarlinLooks great so far! Don't worry about the seam. It can be filled and perhaps painted, even though it's plated.
4 November, 03:45
Ben MComplete! @desert marlin - I decided the seam on the bottom wasn't important enough to do a bunch of rework. It's an old 60's "chrome" plated model after all 🙂 I think it came out looking pretty good overall.

Mr DFantastic, Really nice kit , Looks 👍 great.
Sometimes it's nice for a vintage kit to look close to how it would be built originally.... Nostalgic.
Nice find....
