For a relatively new kit I am surprised on how much flash and fitting issues this kit has.

Skyhiker
It's really hard for me to fight off the urge to correct the structural issues with this kit. But I promised myself I would make this one out of the box.

Patrick Hagelstein
I've seen that promise before Skyhiker! 😂 Good luck keeping this one OOB! 😉👍🏼

I really hate Revell conopys.

Sergio Ordonez
Mate, I think you should put the windshield uspside down. The ángel does not cope with the real one as I see on photographs.

Skyhiker
Unfortunately it looks even worse the other way around. The idiot engineers at Revell should be fired.

Sergio Ordonez
Well, I had some work with French engineers and I know shit happens. Could you take a photo with this one in the other position?

The windshield is not an isoscelles triangle so the windshield has not a 45 degree ángel over the capot. Please, see these example of a TA-152 (and please, mind It is 35 years old and I was only 13 when I drestroyed It).
I think an easy solution can be made. I do not want any mate to be anoyed by an engineering issue. I had them everyday (it's my job, Factory engineering problem solving, known as 'shit managing") and It can destroy your mojo.

What a terrible canopy

Skyhiker
After several hours of sculpting I got the canopy to fit better. I will continue with it tomorrow.

Sergio Ordonez
Your mojo works, mate! Now you have became a great problem solver!
On the other hand, I think another 3D engineering guy needs to stop drinking and 20 years of 2D drafting. The fitting is worse than I could imagine. But I see is no a problem for a seasoned mate like you. Great work, mate!

Following. I build this kit several times in older versions. The fit of the canopy is realy sh*t. My solution was (with about 10 years) to sand the backside of the windshild till it fitted. Of corse so most of the frame is missing.

What a struggle! It reminds me of some Heller and Amodel kits. But it looks that you manage to coax it into shape!

Great effort and progress! 👍🏻

Following. Are you making the Hydra decal or mask or are they aftermarket? Really interesting subject 👍

Amenofys
I use white decal paper for laser printer. I usually design the custom decals on illustrator (or fetch them from internet) and print them. Decals shown in my custom Mustangs or J2N gallery are printed in clear paper.

Gary Kitchen
👍 Mustangs look great too.

Amenofys
Thanks, Gary!

Torsten
Exciting Me 😎

Work finished with a little vignette. The Hydra officer is no other than Red Skull.

Gary Kitchen
Fabulous stuff. Great subject, great build. 👍

Torsten
Nice idea with the vignette 😎

Amenofys
Thank you Gary and Torsten 🙂

Paul Eden
Great build. I'm also interested in doing some hydra inspired fictional models. The red engine and decal combo is inspired.

Funny ! 🙂
