Great project! I love Fichtenfoos Designs.
How did you make the eyes?

Wayne LaBar
Erik, the eyes are glass globes I bought off either ebay or amazon. They are from China. They were a bit too small (.5mm) but I added black o-rings which fit perfectly and the globes rests on the O-rings

Cheers friends! After the Neptune, I needed a palette cleanser build, so I reached for a long-neglected kit from SH I promised I would build too long ago. It's a OOB (well, 98%ish) and a lightning build by my standards. Hope you enjoy, it truly is an excellent kit.

Ha, Alec and OOB project! Who would believe this 🙂
Very nice work so far, mate. I built a bigger sister of her ( Eduard bf 109E-7) and i remember, that put those parts of fuselage nose together is not a piece of cake.

Čau Jakube, well not many, but as this is already done I can wouch for the veracity of my claim 😉
As to the kit: the nose assembly was indeed a bit of a puzzle, but very doable. I wonder how closely SH and Eduard cooperated on this, the kit feels very Edíkovskej. Overall, a joy to put together. Cheers!

Nice topic and really convincing progress Alec - taking a seat ☺️

Jakub Fiala
You are right, Alec. This kit is downsized Eduard.

Nice start Alec - I laughed after seeing the title "palette cleanser" but no doubt for sanity you needed one after that amazing Neptune build. I had a similar need for a palette cleanser after my JRS-1 build, and that was nothing compared to your Neptune!

Super start! ...I laughed too ; reading the title 🙂

Thanks guys! The comic relief is not my own (saw it put that way by someone), but it does exemplify the woes of someone afflicted with AMS. Mind you, the Neptune started as an OOB…

OOB doesn't exist, it's a fake... 🙂
