XF-13 Vigilante WIP
Classic Revell artwork
Classic packaging as well.
These were horribly yellowed. A few weeks in the window sill made them tolerable again.
Not too many parts.
I guess these two guy will stay in the box.
Well, that’s all folks. Oh, and a dash somewhere
For a 1989 kit, the fit is near perfect on the intakes.
Getting the static discharger in there was a chore without my drill bits.
Wings are on.
Seats.
Painted.
Watch that detail on the dash!
Fuselage closed
Part behind the cockpit has a very tight fit.
Looks like the tail piece is from another kit
First not so perfect fit
Sprue connects on a panel line, really?
These will need some work
This is the goal
Primed with mr surfacer 1200
Size does matter?
Engines painted with Alclad colours
Masked the canopy
Canopy glued in place.
Preshaded with tan.
No more overspray!
Light seagull grey
Masked once more
Went well
Paint it black
Busy place
Decals are on
Last bits and pieces glued.

Album info
As my man cave is invaded by my son and his friends for some computer games (yeah, vacation), I can't paint my Graf Spee 🙁
Back to the kitchen table and do an in between build.
