I have the Bandai 1:48 X-Wing kit, and although it is a nice kit (disregarding the toy'ish motor for moving wings creating an issue with precision), it seems like one has to be careful when putting things together, making sure the parts are fully connected. I have yet to airbrush my X-wing, but I thought I'd do it later. Wouldn't be surprised if there might be tiny gaps here and there in the end if not using glue.

Mental note: Buy some black CA glue. Seems like something one would need to better see the hard glue on the surface.
I did order some "UV glue" today, but haven't tried it so far.

Skyhiker
Ok I have to see this

Finn
Cool, will follow!

Bart Goesaert
I'm in too on this one

Skyhiker
That thing is huge.

YF23WidowGhost
Yep its the widest model in my collection. The wing span is wider than my PC montior and my 1/500 space yamato.

I can't miss this! I'm here.

Łukasz Gliński
That's a big bug, isn't it?

Sorry about the slow rate of updates everyone. I hurt my back at the gym so I'm having to avoid being hunched over at the modeling bench this week.

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Jv
Sure to follow
Fantastic details in that kit

nikfrost
Wow, looking really good.

Bavel Cat
Jv, nikfrost, Thank you my friends

Jv
Very good progress
Fantastic work and thanks for all your detailed pictures of your work

Baptiste Souillart
Impressive work

Bavel Cat
Jv, Thanks. I will try to sit down more often to build a model.

Michael Kohl
Was this color combination a standard for civil vehicles? I am asking because a week ago I saw one in southern Germany with exactly this livery.

Bavel Cat
Michael Kohl, Yes, this is the standard color of the 2018 anniversary UAZ 3909.

Michael Kohl
Thanks. Definitely an elegant choice of colors. Which ones did you use?

Bavel Cat
Michael Kohl, Thank you for your interest!
The main colors are glossy white (Revell acrylic) and Gray-blue A-18 m (ZIPmaket acrylic).

Mr D
Nice choice in kit 😁👍👍 has the Zvezda kit been well designed?
Nice work 👌

Bavel Cat
Mr D, The new models of the Zvezda company, it seems to me, are well developed. All the details fit together. The detail is at a good level.

Mr D
Great, thanks for letting me know, I'm big fan of soviet era stuff n Zvezda have good selection, lm thinking of doing a Mi-8 helicopter.... Chernobyl diorama in the winter.
All the best 👍👍

Mr D
Nice work👌 doing a good job...like the colour scheme

gorby
Interesting!
Incidentally, as you keep producing some very interesting subjects I've just had a look at your stash - wow fantastic range of kits, I'm green with envy. 😄

Alex K
I'm in, of course (agreeing with everything Gorby said...)

Robert Podkoński
Thank you, Mates 🙂

J35J
Always in on your builds😀

Robert Podkoński
It is good to have you aboard, J35J. Feel warmly welcomed!

AJMM
Really interested to see how this builds up. It's looking great so far!

Bruce Huxtable
Another space-saver! Wondering what interesting livery will bring this little gem to life? 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed AJMM and Bruce! @Bruce - I like most the most 'exotic' livery - the Manchurian one. @AJMM - I am a bit concerned about the main undercarriage legs, they are very thin.

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it, it's on my wishlist too (but in 72nd) 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Hmmm....perhaps display her in flight, Robert?

Ben M
👀

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Mates! @Bruce - I'm considering this option in fact 😉

Spanjaard
i am in, of course 🙂

Neil
Me too 👀

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Spanjaard and Neil 🙂 I am back from vacations, so there will be next updates soon 😉

Marko
Well, I'd like to look at that. Worthwhile role model, that will be a nice model👍

Robert Podkoński
It's good to have you aboard, Marko 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking good so far, definitely following. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Thanks, Guy! Feel warmly welcomed 🙂

Zbynek Honzik
Taking a seat, Robert!
What a tiny little plane it will be... Fingers crossed and looking forward to the result! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Zbynek 🙂 Tiny it is, indeed... 😉

Robert Podkoński
Welcome, Robin!

Ludvík Kružík
Another great little project is born here 🙂
Of course I can't miss it. 👀

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Ludviku!

Florian H.
Da schau ich mal zu

Dave Flitton
Massive! where are you going to put it?

BAT21
Right next to my Mi-22 😉

Another monster! I am in 👍

Ich nehm mir auch mal nen Stuhl.

Welcome on board.

Thomas Kolb
Cool! This I just need to follow!

Robert Podkoński
Me too!

BAT21
I'm glad you're part of this project.

Robert Podkoński
I have uploaded a few photos of Polish Mi-6 before and after restoration here:
Once there was a collection | Album by podkon ; and here:
Polish Air Force Museum - Dęblin | Album by podkon. Perhaps you will find them useful.

BAT21
👍

Ekki
Watching.

Michael Kohl
BAT21 builds a chopper? Not without me!

BAT21
Thank you very much for your interest.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Can't wait to see it finish !

Florian H.
Sehr schön, Gratulation zu diesem Ergebnis 👍

BAT21
Danke Florian.

Bernd Grün
Promising start. 👍🏻 Following with interest!

BAT21
It's nice that the audience seats are filling up.

Alec K
Solid progress 👍

Alexander Grivonev
Habe den Kit seit Jahren im Besitz, traue mich aber nicht ran. Was für ein Monster👍

BAT21
Wer bei der Tu 128 von Trumpeter alle Fehler in Perfektion beseitigt hat, muss sich nicht vor der Mi-6 fürchten.
Etwas Spachtelmasse und Schleifpapier bereitlegen... und schon kann es losgehen 😉

Alexander Grivonev
Ja das war wirklich eine Baustelle das Ding. Aber trotz des Ehrgeizes der Chinesen, dem Modellbauer auch den letzten Nerv zu rauben, sieht mir Amodel so auf den ersten Blick nach mehr Arbeit aus...

Gergő Takács
Wow! Very cool Project! I will take a seat! 🙂

BAT21
Feel welcome mates.

Michael Kohl
Starts to look like a Mil Mi-6? Well, then it's time to charge the teaser to a picture of your model. 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Joining in late, but sure worth it. Clean built on this "filling the gaps" giant. 👍

Treehugger
Q: The tiny "brass" colored tubes for the wiring on the main rotor head, are those bits of cut up syringe tips?

BAT21
For these parts I cut 0.5mm brass tubes from Albion Alloys.

Spanjaard
rotor head is truly impressive

Alec K
I agree, pimped to the hilt 👍

Casey Beckett
Recently discovered Albion Alloys here - lovely stuff!

BAT21
Many thanks guys, much appreciated.

CaptGPF
That rotor work is sick!
…but so is the PE cockpit work at this scale! Watching!

Alec K
Excellent progress 👍

Łukasz Gliński
On the pic #35 it looks professional, not provisional 😉

Florian H.
Sehr schönes farbspiel

BAT21
Many thanks 👍
