a lot of putty will appear here, as annouced :D
Proyecto: Flash Fiesta or da'Putty Party

Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉
27 August, 13:25
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm
27 August, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/104687-298-s.jpg)
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍
27 August, 15:50
![](/profiles/img/10591-s.jpg)
As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2
27 August, 15:57

What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.
27 August, 17:23

Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…
27 August, 20:56
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!
27 August, 21:11
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.
27 August, 21:42
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄
The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂
28 August, 10:29
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄
28 August, 13:40
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.
28 August, 14:19
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
I wish you luck Robert. Your going to need it (and probably a stiff drink or four). 😉
Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄
28 August, 15:14
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄
28 August, 16:08
![](/profiles/img/44957-709-s.jpg)
A French prototype and a Mach 2 kit? Can't miss that... I see I'm late but a seat way back in the gallery must be still available...
28 August, 16:34

Looks very good so far Cuajete. I think the Tuskegee airmen are under represented in kit form, particularly in 1/48. I had to use after-market decals to do mine.
21 December 2016, 18:21
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
really nicely done cuajete. ¡te ha quedado estupendo!. I really like the shiny NMF, what did you use as primer and what metal colour?
21 December 2016, 18:49
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Thank you very much. I used a mix of decals from Academy and Airfix kits.
For metal color I have used Lara's painting. No need thinner and previous primer. Unfortunately, is no longer manufactured.
22 December 2016, 17:20
![](/profiles/img/30014-292-s.jpg)
Buen metalizado!!!!, Tengo Lara por ahí.... has usado la 'inicial' la plateada que sacó al principio o la que sacó después con varios tonos?
10 July 2017, 20:20
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Thank you very much, Josu, Clifford, Spanjaard and Christian.
Josu, he utilizado la pintura Lara Aluminio (la que no está etiquetada) para la capa base y Lara Acero para algunos paneles. Unifiqué ambos tonos con Lara Aluminio en una capa fina a baja presión.
I have used the Lara Aluminum paint for the base coat and Lara Steel for some panels. I mixed both shades with Lara Aluminum in a thin layer at low pressure.

![](/profiles/img/13695-917-s.jpg)
It turned out really nice. I have the Tamiya 1/48 version of it. I think I will do it after I finish the Corsair.

Very nice! Saw yesterday on YouTube the documentation about the RedTails. Cool project once I've got a little bit more time I wanna have this too. Great work👍
25 October 2017, 15:30
![](/profiles/img/23938-707-s.jpg)
Wow, turned out excellent. The metal finish looks very well done to me, and so do the exhaust stains 👍
28 October 2017, 15:35
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Thank you very much for your comments, Alek.
The metal finish and exhaust stains on my P-51 can not be as good as those on your Avia C-2. 😉

Nice one, at first I thought it's an Airfix boxing. There are some flaws as you mentioned, but who doesn't make them?😉
29 October 2017, 16:02
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Thanks Łukasz. Your words mean a lot to me. I will try to improve those flaws in the next models.

👍 Nice job !! I have 3) 1/32 P-51s and want to do one of them as a Red Tail.
30 October 2017, 18:05
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Thanks for your comments, Michael and Robert.
Robert, You will do well to do a Red Tail, because of its historical connotations and because it has a very striking painting scheme. I hope to watch it here.

Thanks a lot, Guy 🙂
It was the first time I did something like this. Unfortunately I don't have much time to practice anymore for now.

Sukhoi242 and Joshua, thanks for your likes 🙂 👍.
Joshua, Thanks for your words. I also believe that Tuskegee Airmen deserve a tribute for everything they were able to do despite everything they had against them. I admire their ability to excel and how they gained recognition from those who saw them as inferior to the rest.
I'm sure that you can find Tuskegee's Airfix in second hand market, like eBay😉.
Nathan, many thanks. Academy's kit has some imperfections, but it's it is very rewarding to build. If I remember correctly, I used everything from the box, except the wheels I got from Airfix, some small pieces of the spare parts box and other things from scratch build. Decals are mixed from Academy's kit and Airfix. I would like to build another Mustang D with Tamiya's kit and a different paint scheme (may be camouflaged o green).

Really nice looking model Cuajete. The natrual metal finish especially looks great. You say it is 'metallized Lara'. Maybe I am thick, but I don't know what that is. Can you tell me please?
24 January 2021, 11:24
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Joshua, Glad you found the Airfix Red Tails 🙂 👍
Clifford and Stefan, Thank you very much!
Neil, many thanks for your words. Lara was a Spanish metallic paint brand that stopped being manufactured a few years ago. It is a very good quality painting. Generally, no primer or glossy base is required. It is also not necessary to dilute and it covers quite well. Unfortunately now can't find in stores.
You can see the Lara's paint botle in the following photo albums:
- Pic 32: Zlín Z-XIII (single seat) Project | Album by Cuajete (1:72)

Can't believe I missed this. It's a fabulous finish in 1:72. Great stuff 👍

![](/profiles/img/78736-860-s.jpg)
@Cuajete. Thank you very much for the info on Lara. Shame it's no longer around - sounds and looks wonderful. In case you need an alternative when you run out, I'm finding Gunze Supermetallics very good - but they need a primer. A glossy primer neneath gives a nice high reflective grain free finish.

![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Patryk and Gary, I'm glad you like it. Many thanks!

Thank you so much, Giannis. This one just has a few little extras.
I built a Do-24 with a lot more extra details. You can see it here, 🙂

Thank you very much, Greg. A pleasure to read these words from a master like you. Much appreciated.
The Academy kit is very nice to build. It practically does not give any problems of adjustment. If the Tintin's model series has this one, I'm sure it will work great!
3 July 2023, 18:42
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
I built a different boxing for this kit (I believe), but not for a Tintin project... 🙂

Like what you have done 👍👍 really nice cockpit details... Can't beat a 109.
Like the pre-shading..shows well.
I'm yet to try the pre-shading technique? Bit concerned l won't keep a straight line with the black paint n airbrush!!
Nice work 👌
28 August, 17:46
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
#Mr D - Thank you 🙂
But this is not done with classic preshading - first I paint the whole thing black, then marble (with white paint + some slightly contrasting to the base colors) in individual panels and on top of all this base colors with heavily thinned paint żrbyby not to cover this "grid" 🙂

In view of the start of this build, I was tempted by the following motto: "From ugly duckling to swan": the kit offers a number of interesting challenges, but gives an idea of the potential both as a model and as a representation of a true aircraft beauty! I will try my best to make the swan appear....
A first challenge: roughly moulded parts, poor fit and a wing that wants too much in a positive V-position.... A second challenge will follow in the form of a Vacu canopy that has turned yellow with age; this will give me the opportunity to try out the doing in Vac-canopy myself. More of that next time...
9 August, 07:18
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Nice aircraft !
One was used in the last phase of the New Guinea gold rush in the 30's...
Good luck !

Thank you for your interest, I appreciate it!
Cuajete, I'd be happy to show you a few photos of the progress of the construction and application of the self-moulded Vac canopy. It seems to have produced a reasonable result so far....

An unusual subject Roland! No doubt you will end up with a fantastic result

Many thanks, Roland!
Great job with the putty party and vacuum canopy 👍
What thermoformer did you use?

This look like an intriguing project, but she's definitely a putty queen! I am super impressed with the vac-forming!

Thank you very much for the answers, mates! I'll show you a few new pictures from today: the surfaces have been reworked with 2000 grit sandpaper (even if it may not look like it, dusty as the "duckling" still is) to prepare it for a first coat of paint. This will certainly show the need for correction! 🙂

New pictures of the current state of construction: the 'Baby Clipper' still looks very dark, but in the next step it will get an 'Azur' blue underside, which will be completed by 'Middle Stone' and 'Dark Earth' on the upper sides. Since prototype photos already show this machine with heavy signs of use and weathering, I will endeavour to achieve a similar look here.

The 'Baby Clipper' has lost some of its elegance with all the rods and struts, but has gained in authenticity. A certain amount of effort is required to reconstruct the entire antenna equipment - not exactly a small amount - but also the structurally necessary struts: the kit manufacturer Azur does not provide any information here, let alone that it would put material for this in the box. The entire superstructure at the top of the engine nacelle is the result of own research. Everything was made from wire, cable insulation (exhaust pipes) and MG muzzles joined together (pitot tubes). The floats under the wings are braced with super-fine steel wire, which, by the way, is a very versatile material. The instructions also make no reference to the tailplane struts, which were also made by the builder.
However, most of the work has gone into the undercarriage! This was, to summarise, so heavily modified that it can actually be described as newly constructed from etched parts and wire from the leftover box.
So, I've already written a lot, but there's one more point: I'm particularly curious to see how my first self-built Vacu canopy performs on this project. I'm a bit anxious, but also very excited to see what the unmasking that will soon follow will show!

I agree with Marko.
A challenge with great resolution. Great job so far, Roland. And very nice painting job 👍

Thank you for these motivating words, quite appreciated!! On now to the final act of this project...

I agree with all comments above. I must say, I like way you attached the wires and struts - usually there is a bit of a lump of superglue where they attach to the fuselage, but you managed to make the connection points very neat.

Thanks mates for all the motivating responses! Thomas, I try to solve the problem of gluing in wires by always drilling holes at both ends, into which I then 'clamp' the wire that has been cut off a little too long. Before gluing, I let some glue into the opening via a wire tip and then insert the wire within the time that the glue remains liquid. This usually works more or less well, I'm glad you like it.

From ugly duckling to..... well, the Fairchild F.91 is now finished! I am pleased to be able to present it to you - also because it was not an easy build in some parts. One of the new features is the use of a deep-drawn cockpit canopy for the first time, as you can see in this build report. Incidentally, the windows on the fuselage are not from the kit, but clear film cut as accurately as possible - at least it looks better.
Thank you for your interest and your comments, mates!

Very nice 💯% well done 👍👍.
Really like it, Do you have a vacform?? Or did you make something up ?
Nice kit/subject 👌

Thank you for your comments, which make me happy and motivate me! Mr D, I've actually had a small thermoforming machine for a few weeks now, which after a bit of testing has been used here for the first time in 'live action'. It's interesting to note that there seems to be some interesting equipment and techniques for modellers in the dental field.

Thanks, l think I've seen the one you mean, be handy item.
I broke the canopy on my little 1:144 mig-23 polishing it !!
I had to make one best l could with toaster n paintbrush end.🙄🤣
Not perfect....but at least l could finish the model." Disclaimer .. not recommending this technique" 🤣
Thanks for advice.👍

Very nice job and fantastic result, Roland. The pics are great. I like it so much. Congrats!
Unfortunately I have several kits with the transparent parts in vacu yellowed by time. What dental equipment did you use as a thermoforming machine? Thanks!
