Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.
27 July, 15:43
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch
31 July, 20:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.
1 August, 18:44
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.
8 August, 20:53
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.
13 August, 16:03
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁
13 August, 20:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.
16 August, 17:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.
17 August, 17:20
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

19 August, 17:35
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
The second color has been applied. Slow going here as my workbench time has been lacking.
25 August, 14:13
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Today I masked off the areas for the gloss black. The tan colored areas are quite small, but they're everywhere. Tamiya tape stock is going up!!
26 August, 17:32
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well my gloss black was solidified, so flat black will have to do. Hopefully it will all even out when the clear is applied
28 August, 00:20
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Jennifer and Villiers!
Work continues on masking these tiny sections.
30 August, 16:13
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well that was a whole bunch of masking for some very tiny pixels… I also added a coat of Future to help with the panel lining effort to come.
3 September, 23:57
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Today has seen the underside color selected and applied (Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue) along with masking/painting the cowl colors using Steel & Red.
4 September, 13:58
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
I'm using both AK & Mig panel wash. For the bottom I used Grey-Blue and for the top I haven't decided whether I'll use a dark brown or black wash. Of course for the black areas I'll use the Stone Grey wash which I think is Mig.
4 September, 18:28
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks LC & Guy!
More masking for the Ukrainian flag on the tail today.
6 September, 01:59
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Robert!
Chrome Yellow has been applied for the first half of the Ukrainian flag on the tail.
6 September, 14:53
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
The Ukrainian flag on the tail has been completed and the landing gear legs have been painted and attached.
7 September, 23:01
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Today I completed painting the canopy framing and the wheels. Also my clear gloss arrived in the mail today, so I'll be able to apply that to the entire aircraft. After that I only need to paint the anti-glare panel on the upper cowl. Nearing the finish line.
9 September, 20:31
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Ooh-la-la! Well done Nathan. Definitely a special addition to the display case.

Nice additions and cool colors in the cockpit! They liven up the basis kit parts substantially.
13 February, 15:39
![](/profiles/img/136637-328-s.jpg)
Very impressive built! I think the most noticeable issue of the academy kit is the main landing gear. The legs are way too long (2mm) and the MLG doors are too massive. But this is relatively easy to fix. Following!

Do you use copper wire??
I was watching a YouTube vid and the guy was using the wire out of sandwiches bag ties, you know the type they twist to hold new electric cables ect.
It looked ideal for simulating wiring n break lines ect.
Nice job on the seatbelt's looking good 👌
7 July, 23:00

Interesting example you have selected - 7447 is the one that was used for escape to Austria and hence the special colours:

7 February, 21:04
![](/profiles/img/12803-s.jpg)
Thank You, Łukasz. While comparing to photographs of the actual '7447', camouflage colours seem to match, but when looking at the model itself, something doesn't feel right with them. I don't know why.
6 September, 08:32

Man, the Colt looks really great as a model! Your project is inspiring me to perhaps build one myself! I will refer to your experiences.
9 September, 05:08
![](/profiles/img/12803-s.jpg)
Thank You, Thomas. I never thought that I could inspire anyone in modelling, haha. 🙂
Anyway, the Trumpeter kit has several serious fit and shape issues, some of which I was unable to fix.

Question for OP:
What brand might be selling vacuum formed clear parts? Seems like you found some as seen in photo #11. I've seen some for airplane/jet canopies, but none for cars, so I wouldn't know where to look.
3 June, 13:37
![](/profiles/img/12266-226-s.jpg)
Hey Treehugger, the parts in the picture are part of the kit. But funny that you mention this topic because I actually dealt with this question myself recently. I finished two 964s earlier this year (Revell and Fujimi) and the clear parts in both kits were of very poor quality. Searched for aftermarket replacement and found nothing. So I decided to try myself at vacuforming and made the clear parts myself which turned out to be pretty decent (after countless tries and errors) I have not posted pictures of the builds yet but intend to, keep an eye open. You are right, there is definitely a lack of aftermarket windshields for cars...
3 June, 15:17
![](/profiles/img/12266-226-s.jpg)
Ahem, let`s continue here shall we? Not that I was absent for three months or something...

So planning a future project. Ever optimistic I thought the Sidewinder chassis would fit with minimal alterations then I found these resin wheels on eBay and they are big! So a major chassis build is needed.
I have measured the body and wheels and drawn up a floor plan so I have measurements to work to.
The Viper engine being narrower helps but I think It will have to be a scratch built chassis, air suspension and narrowed rear axle.
18 March 2022, 13:52
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Thanks Chaps - I haven't actually done anything yet!
This is my first Mopar project so trying to keep all the parts related.
I think I have chassis issue sorted but will sleep on it. I also need to re-watch Texas Metal (Ektensive) on TV, their chassis builds are fascinating and a great inspiration.
18 March 2022, 23:07
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
After some research and drawing a design on paper I am going for it and scratch building the whole chassis and suspension - I never make life easy for myself!!
Evergreen strip and others bits to be revealed now on order.
The Sidewinder chassis will return to the parts stash.
21 March 2022, 18:45
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Thanks JV. This is something I've been wanting to do for ages. It's all in the measuring. Actual construction should be fairly easy.
21 March 2022, 19:35
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
So take a perfectly good body and cut it up with the Dremel!
I am now committed to this build. Made a start on the chassis which has as much brain work as cutting and gluing.
Today is my birthday so it will it be finished before next year's?
24 March 2022, 17:27
![](/profiles/img/53519-110-s.jpg)
Can't think of a better way to spend a birthday, covered in dremel dust! Best of luck with the chassis!

![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
Nigel, I don't know what's in the water, over there, but you should bottle it, and send some over here! This is gonna be a crazy build, from the start! But like a certain fast food advert, I'm Lovin' it!
24 March 2022, 18:08
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
More Dremel destruction with removing the floor from the interior tub to accommodate rear chassis.
25 March 2022, 10:27
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Rear clip attached to chassis using 1 mm metal rods for locating pins. C notch created by cutting rear section with the Dremel and turning it up side down. Visually looks better and helps position rear interior tub.
28 March 2022, 12:03
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Thanks Brandon. It just seemed to look better with using the two strips glued together rather than the strip. It's probably a bit over scale.
28 March 2022, 14:41
![](/profiles/img/53519-110-s.jpg)
Solid as in well designed and executed haha... but yeah I'm sure it would need to be pretty substantial to keep that V10 from twisting it right up!
28 March 2022, 15:03
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Your right Brandon.
Second attempt for front clip and it's looking good. Some final tweaking still needed to get it just right. Engine cross member/ support will be next. The theory is to build the entire front clip as one unit so front end parts can be just added without any need for further adjustment.
Early indications are both front and rear clips should match up.
29 March 2022, 15:56
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Fourth attempt at front clip and I've done it by using the narrower strip and changing the angle of the uprights.
2 April 2022, 20:40
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Woke up this morning, didn't like what I built last night so cut it off and started again. I'm sure there's a blues tune in there!
So attempt five and the front clip is just right. Now I keep looking at the rear hmmm…….
3 April 2022, 06:40
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
2mm brass tube will now fit through my now modified rear axle which has been drilled out.
Resin brake discs also adapted to accept the 2 mm tube.
Prop shaft made from 4mm Evergreen tube with the ends from a 1933 Cadillac.

British engineering at its best! That reminds me, I need to get myself some rod, for a missing axle, in a kit that I've just started. She's looking good, Nigel! I love that stance.
5 April 2022, 21:56
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Exhaust position and mounts are now worked out using Evergreen tube. There's a million and one things to think about ensuring everything fits in the space available.
8 April 2022, 10:27
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)

8 April 2022, 18:22
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
A chance to try something new that looks cool, thanks to YouTube and that's building air bags using rubber O rings. The fronts are 4.5 x 2 mm and rears 5 x 2 mm, glued to piece of brass tube with Evergreen tubes inserted. 20 minutes work and I have authentic looking deflated airbags!
8 April 2022, 20:37
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Thanks Brandon. I'm taking my time and thinking things through at each stage. Also the amount of research I've done, TV shows, YouTube and websites has really helped.

![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Thanks Munky. It's coming together rather well.
I've gone for triangulated upper control arms which now almost sorted.
13 April 2022, 17:27
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Started on the front suspension and found my current airbags were too big so built another pair using 3 4x1mm O rings. These now fit in the first pair of scratch built A arms.
16 April 2022, 14:28
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Found the A arms would not fit with wheel position so out with the Dremel and rebuilt the the front clip.
17 April 2022, 14:10
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Back on nights so spent the odd hour experimenting with 0.80 styrene rod with the MK2 A arm version which looks more accurate.

So far everything fits snugly all because of my careful planning….well a bit of luck was involved!
Interior tub revised to accommodate the rear wheels. I worked out they a scale 23x12 for the rears and 23x9 for the front. Home stretch now in sight.
22 May 2022, 13:03

24 May 2022, 22:45
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Interior tub now completed. Rather pleased with the centre tunnel. Black piece is the top of the engine cover from a Ford Econoline van - good job I keep all the parts that are cut off! To do: Steering column needs to be repositioned, gear stick and handbrake from the Viper kit, foot pedals from the parts stash.

Getting on with the front suspension. Fingers crossed all the parts and angles work with the front wheels!
I went back to the original airbags I made as these look much more to scale. Got work out a front spindle arrangement with very little space!

I can imagine mate. I'm looking forward to the long weekend, that's coming up. Unfortunately I have some 1:1 jobs to do, oddly enough, involving suspension, but after that, I'm back in the cave! Currently trying to get some progress on my Lonestar build, and it's going well. If you can get your hands on one, definitely grab one! I really like the way it's working out, but it's definitely an oily kit. Wash all parts, extremely well.

Time to carry on with this project.
This afternoon:
Tweaked the engine mounts so engine now fits under the stock bonnet. Sanded down the firewall area.
Removed the old radiator surround with the Dremel to fit a resin one from Iceman Collections. I used some Evergreen channel top and bottom to locate the radiator.

Thanks Bill, yes I wanted to have a go myself and found the principal fairly easy with some careful measuring.

Wow last message was February!?
Oh well, managed to get all the primer done. Two coats and rubbed down with 1200 grit paper.
It's good to get back into the build.

Love those wheels. They would look wicked on a Bandit Trans Am Pro Touring build.

VW Uranu Grey topcoat applied today, I used two 300mil spray cans and managed to get around 3 coats of paint for the whole body.
There are a couple of tiny annoying spots to touch up by the rear pillar, where my wire frame touched the body whilst painting the interior
Clear coat will be a satin finish to tone down the gloss.
Next up is the chassis, bumpers and front grill - Matt black, engine and running gear - gloss black & interior- semi gloss black.

Started work on detail painting - engine headers, airbags, rear lights, and window surrounds.
I've used matt black for the surrounds and used some of the window mold lines to create a contemporary look. Judging by the photos, some tidying will be needed!
The lower body lines have been left colour-coordinated, for the visual effect.

A week's annual leave for some modelling time - I've managed to find the valve covers unpainted in the engine parts stash and lose a painted traction arm so had to fabricate another one, and it's only Wednesday!
Waiting for paint to dry then I can start construction.

Lol, I took off 2 weeks, and ended up a married man!
Work should be a part of every man's staple diet! 🙂

I have noticed that when I am off work, I spend money. It is making me afraid of retiring.

This little thanksgiving work holiday has me wanting to spend money too. 😬 I definitely need to keep working as long as I can. Lol.

Back at it again guys, making a start on final assembly with rear axle, airbags and four links fitted.
Rather pleased with the results so far.

I am lovin' those rims. They would look awesome under a Bandit Trans Am

Found the rear axle had moved leaving it crooked. Had to carry out some surgery to correct it, not perfect but much better.
Trying to figure out the front suspension, so more surgery required.

I learned the hard way, to pin things like that. I hold it in place, and insert my vice drill, remove it, add glue, then a tiny piece of wire or the thinnest piece of brass rod I have. Then I repeat, on the other side. Measure twice and cut once, my friend.

What's the issue with the front then Nigel? Rear end looks very good mate, stout work👌
25 February, 23:43
![](/profiles/img/48798-450-s.jpg)
Good tip Boz……… I think I once cut 1/2" off a cotton needle to do the same
25 February, 23:46

@Munky the engine mounts were extended to locate the front air bag however they foul the top arm link so it's just a case of removing some material putting the air at mount lower.
26 February, 08:36

Having had another look at the front end things are not as bad as I first thought.
Broke couple of the front mounts so decided to restart again with front suspension. The original fit was really tight so have widened the space for the front mounts a little and made a larger gap in the inner wings for a better fit.
The chassis picture shows the unpainted areas that will need a repaint.

Back on track with the Ramcharger. Rebuilt the inner wings to tidy things up and get a better fit.
Front disc assembly now have 1 mm brass rod pins for the A arms.

Nice work mate! 👌 I started saving stainless steel needles & cutting them with small discs to use as pins, just preferred the colour.
Only downside is not soft & malleable like copper.
17 June, 15:05
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Thanks Munky, how are you doing?
The needles idea is worth looking at. I find brass can a bit unforgiving and can transmit heat.
17 June, 16:31
![](/profiles/img/48798-450-s.jpg)
I'm good mate, just finishing winding up the business & looking forward to actually having some time to build something again!😂

Ah Moping Mopar Munky, better get off your keester and crank out that Magik, been a mad minute since I've seen a Munky Gem ! Bozz, Nigel, y'all live in the same neighborhood, island or whatever ! Motivation on the way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧🤘😎🤘🇺🇲. Git'er done or I'm sending Chuck Norris your way, I can do it, we both work for DPS ! He's Walker ya know !
19 June, 05:52
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
Lol Bob! Even on this tiny island of ours, I've only been in Munky's neighbourhood twice, in all my life. Though I do pass by Nigel, quite a few times a month. It's actually bigger than you think, over here 😉
19 June, 05:58
![](/profiles/img/18039-337-s.jpg)
I been to UK few times, liked it. And in my younger days I use to chase after all your gorgeous Military Police Girls in Iraq, Kuwait and England ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
19 June, 06:10
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Bob, love that - same neighbourhood😆 compared to where you live that must be up the road. Munky & I discovered we have lived in the same area without knowing it so it is a small island.
My trips to the USA have East Coast & West Coast, not quite chasing the ladies but I managed an impromptu photoshoot with a bikini clad young lady, a hot rod & Police officer with patrol car!

It takes me longer to get from my city Odessa to the Louisiana border than it does to get to my house in Savannah Georgia 4 States away. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

HAAAAAAAHAHAHA!!!! Bob, have u had too much caffeine today???😂😂😂😂 That excellent motivational message is certain to kick my arse out of this ape-athetic state 🤣🐒

Don't forget the doughnuts too, lots and lots of sugar loaded doughnuts...............................🤯🤯🤯🤯

Boz……… I was watching re-runs of Monkey! on tv the other day, larfed my chimp arse off 😂😂😂

Munky, I'd still do that Tripitaka now, and she's gotta be around 70+?
She always made the wheels on my Rickshaw, wobbly!
Sushi never sounded so good.
Right, I'm back to the gutter, so your work is done!
Glue, anybody???
19 June, 21:58
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
Shoot, I just read that she passed away in 85, aged 27 🙁
Well, she'll never know what she did with my adolescent mind, but I hope she rests in peace. Such a beautiful lady, and a bloody sad loss 🙁
19 June, 22:04
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Amen to that Bozzer. There is a remake of Monkey but never as good as the original.
I guess all this reminiscing means we are gentlemen of a certain age.
Munky with all that caffeine and sugar you should be doing a Lionel Ritchie and dancing on the ceiling
20 June, 04:27
![](/profiles/img/48798-450-s.jpg)
Did she? That's such a shame, poor girl😳
A certain age??? Nigel means we're all old gits😂😂😂…….. he's right of course🤣

I need to complete this build. lower A arms and airbags now secured in position after a few mods to get them where I need them.
Seems a lot hard work as most of this will be hidden, however in the end it has the correct parts and I know they are there.
I'll be damned the body will actually fit over the front wheels!!

I once got so frustrated trying to fab a chassis for a 1/24 lowrider that I glued the rims to the inside of the upper wheel arches 😂
1 August, 17:45
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
The worse thing about a build is the fiddly bits that crop up as with the interior, it just seems to take forever.
Kit steering wheel now has a column made from brass tube. Dashboard modified to accommodate the new column using scrap styrene.
Gear stick and handbrake are from the Viper kit.

I like that, looks neat!
I love using available scrap like sewing needles for indicator stalks & gear levers, easy to bend & if you heat em up properly they just push in to the plastic without cement👌
