Excellent 👍

slateman
Thank you!

Dash Rendar
Wonderful so far! Is it finished yet? Do you have more final photos?

slateman
Thanks - yes I shot some more photos but I want to have them in the same layout as the title pic. Please check back again. I will let you all know when the build review on my blog is online.

Dash Rendar
Okay no problem! Take your time. I always enjoy looking at FSS kits. Especially with a great paintjob like this.

Torsten
Turned out very nice, the color is very well matched, superb work 😎

slateman
Thank you - it was a hard time with all the Alclad but in the end I am also very satisfied how it turned out. Wait for the Build Review on my blog where I'll have an in-depth look into this. I was in constant research for maybe half a year - JUST to find out the right color hue to use for this project.

slateman
All of this because the colors (Gaianotes …) as given in the instruction manual weren't available in Germany/Europe. So I developed my own „color reference" by trial and error.

slateman
Hope this'll provide a good reference for all European FSS Modellers who want to have a take on this project as well.

Torsten
Where can I find your blog

berni
Nice work 👍

Robin (WhiteGlint)

slateman
Added two more pictures of the final model.

Dash Rendar
Wonderful!

Great job! Nice to meet another German FSS modeller here. Hope to see more of your work. How worn out are the injection moulding for the inner frame parts on this kit?

slateman
Thank you! What do you mean by „worn out". The injection molding quality is very good for that kind of kit. There is a little flash here and there on the sprues but really nothing to worry about.

slateman
The mechanism you build for the inner frame by using the included polycaps is quite astonishing (if that answers your question?).

Ying
Thanks. But I was referring to the re-usage of the inner frame on all the Mirage type kits. Schpeltor, Waterdragon, 2x KOG, 2xLED's, Terror and Auge. They all use the same inner frame. I expected some soften details after some years of production.

slateman
Well, I wouldn't say so. The KOG-Frame incorporates a few mechanisms similar to those seen in ABSOMEC.

Dash Rendar
Hope you're building more FSS kits! Love seeing those.

slateman
Thank you. Will definitely do 🙂
