Mr DThanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍

Mr DThanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Mr DGood to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍

Miguel VaqueroLove the idea of filling with acrylic, never thought about it. Does it hold well though time?
26 August, 13:14
Mr DHi, Yes lve used it alot and holds up really well , l find the fillers a bit messy and more trouble than it's worth on small gaps.
You do need to allow overnight drying with it for best sanding results.
😀👍

DoubtingmangoBrilliant! The putty really can create a mess with finely molded details
26 August, 15:01
Mr DYes it has a habit of filling in panel lines n bits not necessary!!
This technique is same as using alot of paint to fill a gap or high build primer ect...just becomes part of the paint layer as it acrylic too.
But it's not for big gaps!! As there is a bit of shrinking overnight.
Be onto marking rivets next step after sanding... Then need to make choices on open or closed canopy???

Kesa TihoIf anyone dare look away from that then every romanian within a 20 km radius will undo all your progress like a bunch of wolves eating a sheep

Mr DThanks Mike 👋😀👍.
Ive got the canopy on now, HB do nice clear glass, so I'm having a closed cockpit,
So bit of masking to do there next.
Ive got X2 builds on the go at min.
All the best 👍👍

Miguel VaqueroI got to get myself a chrome pen. The result on those details look awesome
4 September, 09:53
Mr DThanks Miguel, the pen needs a good shake prior to use , if it awkward area you can pump some out n use brush...but work fast.
Best to put a clear over next day as it's bit delicate.

Alexander PerovDo not forget that the mast of the antenna passes through the windshield and is very clearly visible. This model may come in handy in my albums
18 September, 19:29
Mr DOk thanks Alexander, HB didnt make the Mast installation very clear, the show it just glued on the top, will be very weak!! I've seen one build and it's come away!!
I'm going to use steel rod.
👍👍

Mr DThanks Miguel 👍 the office-tak used to mask.
Will try panel lines n wash for first time on this one
😁👍👍

Mr DThanks Gorby 😁👍 Appreciate it.
Got the Flat Clear on now....look at some chipping next.

TrezSmart kit, like the bubble canopy and cockpit is a little different. Assume they based this craft on the Fw190…
19 October, 20:07
Mr DHi Trez 👋
Yes they were heavily influenced by German technology, the Germans wanted them to help support on the eastern front and protect the oilfields there.
It's a nice looking Aircraft, l liked the colour scheme and thought it be nice change n addition to my collection.
Canopy a nice easy mask.
😃👍

Zbynek HonzikI must say, this project of yours is turning out very nicely, Mr D! I'm enjoying watching it! 👍🙋🏼♂️
19 October, 22:39
Mr DThanks Zbynek😁👍
Great to have your interests, nearly there now, l can get started on the paint on my Beriev Be-6 soon.
👋👍

Mr DHi Miguel 👋, thanks 👍
Just Antenna work n few little bits to finish.
Waiting for some 0.1mm stainless wire.
25 October, 09:59
Alexander PerovWell, they said, they said, and you did everything wrong, probably you never looked at this model in my albums
31 October, 17:54
Mr DHi Alexandra.
I only just found your Album on IAR,
It's very good.... I've only been in the hobby for Months and im learning really, l know the antenna isn't accurate, l wanted it to be strong n durable.
31 October, 19:58
gorbyOnly a tiny number of people will either know or care if the antenna isn't accurate Mr D – I didn't know and now that I do, I still don't care. 😄
The antenna looks good and that's all that matters, that fact you've managed to get as good as you have at modelling in such a short space of time is remarkable.
At the end of the day it's only a bloody model and this is only a bloody hobby – not a moral crusade to populate the planet with totally accurate replicas of the real thing. I haven't got a problem if other people want to count every rivet on their own model, but annoys me when they expect it of others.
Just have fun. 🙂

Mr DHi Gorby 👋😃.
Good to catch up.
Thanks 👍 lm happy as with it as l see I've improved a bit on previous models.
The Antenna design was begging to break n go wrong the designed way, first antenna...l want to play bit safe.
Everyone has different abilities and l respect them all.
Good luck with your projects 👍

Robert PodkońskiTrez has asked about the origins of this plane - in fact the whole fuselage was taken (copied) from PZL P.24, of which Romanians have acquired the licence before the II WW.
1 November, 16:59
Mr DHi Robert 👋.
I will have to look up the PZL P.24 .
There is a YouTube video about the IAR-80 l watched it was quite interesting, the Germans supplied them with some tech, l know the fuselage had to be extended to get CG right.... hence the long fornt-end.
I really liked the look of the model and the colour scheme..... I thought it would make a nice addition to my display.....bit of variation.
The Soviet's ended up with a few after the war .....and used them as fighter trainers....Just green with red star.
