Robert PodkońskiWow! This is going to be a true masterpiece... Watching with pleasure and interest!
26 August, 05:55
Robert PodkońskiMakes me wonder, what happens next... You've managed this skeleton kit absolutely perfectly. Chapeau bas!
16 September, 17:10
tyuNice, VERY nice! How did you attach the metal parts: glueing or soldering? Very clean build, impressive1
16 September, 18:07
CaptGPFHere's a dumb question - how do you keep the paint from chipping off of the PE? I tried spraying Mr Surfacer on it, prior to painting, but it still chips very easily.
16 September, 18:11
Lorraine LinThank you everyone!
@Michael Kohl, this kits are from Jasmine Model. The PEs are great, while the instructions a little bit difficult to understand.
@tyu, I used instant adhesive to glue them together. Some small parts, I used UV glue.
@CaptGPF, I used Mr. Color C series to paint it directly after assembly, keep the paint as thin as possible. But yes, it still chips easily, try not to touch it : )
17 September, 01:58
bughunterGreat project!
As I build some Stripdown aircraft already I thought about this one too, but the kit is hard to get here and pricey so it was only an idea.
@CaptGPF You can apply Mr.MetalPrimer from Gunze first. It is a acrylic clear coat which hardens to a thin robust layer even if applied with a brush. I prefer the glass bottle over the rattle can.
SF-242 Mr. Metal Primer, Mr.COLOR , Lacquer, 40ml
17 September, 14:19
Michael KohlI have used Mr Metal Primer for a while too with satisfying results. Paint adheres much better.
17 September, 17:31
Michael KohlCopper foil plating and going for a french version. This is getting better every day. 🙂
17 September, 17:34
bughunterThere is a newer version with an additional "-R" on the name, I don't know what was changed. I still use the original one.
Tamiya has also a product for this (have not tried it): 204 Metal Primer, Tamiya Gloss, Enamel, 40ml
17 September, 19:24
Mr DNow Lorraine....That is dedication to accuracy 😲.
This is why the Chinese were making Ming vases.. while the rest of the world made clay pots 🤣.
Very talented n clever 💯%
17 September, 19:55
Lorraine LinThank you Mates!
@skyhiker, It is 0.02mm cooper foil, and it needs to be annealed first (>650 degree C, a cigar lighter or gas cooker is good enough.)
@Micheal and bughunter, thank you for the suggestion, I just ordered Mr. Metal Primer-R.
18 September, 02:30
Lorraine Lin@bughunter, I just received the new "-R" version. The new label says "improved transparency".
19 September, 10:44
SkyhikerThe rivets on the copper look a bit strange because they are not in alignment with the plane's ribs. On a real aircraft wouldn't they be?
19 September, 11:07
Lorraine Lin@skyhiker, thank you for the comment. This is to verify my idea, I am making a new skin. And will try to make the rivets to align with the ribs. Thank you again.
19 September, 11:23
bughunterThank you for the info!
I hope it still sticks to metal like the original.
19 September, 11:42
bughunterWnat to mention another usage:
The Mr.MetalPrimer can also be used, if the metal should not be painted. It protects the metal surface and prevents tarnishing and oxidation over time.
19 September, 11:49
Alexander GrivonevAdditionally to the metal primer you can treat your PE parts with a fiberglass eraser pen beforehand. It cleans the metal from the oxide layers and roughens it up just a tiny amount to create perfect conditions for paint adhesion.
19 September, 13:13
CaptGPFFantastic progress! It's a pity that the beautiful framing is covered up. Did you press the foil against the kit to get the detailing?
19 September, 15:34
Kesa TihoI cant put my finger on it but it seems too perfect. Too good to be true
19 September, 17:16
Robert PodkońskiIf you look closer, you will spot a few imperfections, Kesa (both on the side of the Jasmine model kit, and in the assembly). Notwithstanding, is a fantastic piece of workmanship.
19 September, 17:26
Alexander GrivonevI agree with Robert, everything looks authentic and not "doctored". I absolutely do not want to take away from Lorraine's craftsmanship, but there is nothing "too good to be true" about this. Great idea, very well executed, just fantastic craftsmanship. Every step is plausible and well documented and I don't even know how or why you would fake something like this 😄
19 September, 17:53
SkyhikerWell for 300 Euros per kit some people might have to fake it. That's a lot of money.
19 September, 18:14
Alexander Grivonevbut faked HOW is what I wonder about. CGI? Yeah, it looks impressive, but it is still a kit. You cut the parts out, you assemble them and you paint the whole thing, no black magic to it really. It would be much more difficult to "fake" it imho
19 September, 18:24
bughunter@Skyhiker Do you mean 300€ for the whole project, with the Eduard kits and accesories?
The Jasmine Hellcat can be found from below 130€ from aliexpress (ok tax and co needs to be added) and around 150€ in ebay, but not 300! List price at Jasmin own shop is 169$
19 September, 18:31
CaptGPF@Kesa - if you think this is too perfect, wait till you see some of the other posters like Neuling, Mr James, Markus and Jörg (to name a few)- their stiff will also blow your mind!!!! However, Lorraine is definitely the God of PE!!!!!
19 September, 20:09
Kesa Tiho@alexander grivionev i would say its just a pre built set but because of the WIP photos i cant :/
19 September, 20:34
Kesa TihoI didnt mean my comment as an insult to her and her ability to build, paint etc builds. I just found her build oddly good
19 September, 20:36
Mr DKesa, sometimes things can come across wrong way, so it's best to keep comment positive or just hold back... Everyone including yourself has nice experience here.
The site is a community forum and not competition ground.
There are people who are starting out ...brush painting over sticky fingerprint's.
Also there are amazingly talented artists like Lorraine here.
Everybody work n project is important to them, it's the enjoyment of the hobby above all, as you know for the nice work you have created yourself... Hopefully subject will move on now..🤣
19 September, 22:08
Lorraine LinI believe that the friends in this community enjoy the process of building models, the satisfaction of removing the painting masks, and the interaction and sharing with mates here. Rather than showing off a pre-built model. I joined this community a little over a month ago, and I've seen many excellent works here, learned a lot of building techniques, and most importantly, had the opportunity to communicate with mates from all over the world. I feel connected with everyone, and I will continue to complete this project. Thank you for all your comments and support.
20 September, 08:36
Lorraine Lin@CaptGPF, yes, I press the copper foil against the kits to get the shape and details. I don't know "rubbing" is the right word the describe the process. And I plan to cover half of the fuselage. So it is called "cut away": )
20 September, 08:54
Lorraine LinI applied Mr. Metal Primer-R as mates suggested here, it works well. The only thing is the surface is a little bit sticky even after 12 hrs. I guess this is how it prevents the painting from chipping.
20 September, 09:14
Kesa Tiho@lorraine i can see, i feel honoured to have one of my builds be followed by a skillful builder like you
20 September, 09:48
CaptGPF@Kesa - I don't think anyone took your post as inflammatory or starting a war - it's nice having conversations like this - and I think it's the best compliment once can receive when someone says "it looks too good". Be yourself!
20 September, 14:23
Mr DWander if the 🧸 bear gets sticky paws gluing all that PE together .... they make a talented team there pair..🤣
Coming on really well Lorraine.... interesting to see a different technique 🐻✌️
20 September, 20:44
Ben MVery creative modeling. I enjoy seeing someone build something to this high of a standard as well as trying new things.
21 September, 04:35
Lorraine LinThank you Mates!
@Mr D, haha, actually she is a lovely fox, Lina Bell. My favorite friend in Disney Land 😄 I built a helicopter for her.

21 September, 11:57
Mr D😁 your right a 🦊 fox got the pointy ears..fox's need to get about too 🤣
Really good...👍👍
21 September, 15:15
Mr DPropeller looking 👍 nice.
Care you planning to cover it all ??
Or have some of the model skeletal for a display-cutaway effect??
28 September, 14:07
Lorraine LinThank you Mate!
Robert and Mr D, I will not cover it all, maybe some part of the wing. Will leave it as cutaway effect.
28 September, 14:59
Greg BakerThis MUST be left at least partially as a cutaway. Would be a crime to cover up all that intricate detail!
29 September, 16:21
Lorraine LinHaha Greg, will not cover it all. Actually the skin is also removable as I attached it to the fuselage with TAMIYA craft bond.
30 September, 05:31
Mr DExcellent, clever and Educational, Exhibition worthy work.
Been a joy to follow 😃🦊
✌️👍👍👍
1 October, 18:13
Robert PodkońskiAwesome indeed! Fantastic models and photos. You're a master modeller, Lorraine!
2 October, 07:31
Desert MarlinAwesome work! The contrast with a traditional kit makes the reality very clear!

Mr DNice choice of kit, like the way your clock's/ instruments have turned out.
Was each clock individual??
Good stuff, my next kit is a Tamiya, was good quality.
Thanks for uploading 👍👍
19 August, 18:59
JohnThanks Mr D. You can't go wrong with a Tamiya, at least in terms of fit. Sometimes their details get simplified and supposedly a few kits have accuracy issues, but for assembly they are great. Had to do this one after the A-20G since it was so painfully fussy to fit together. This is a nice change!
I thought about punching out each instrument individually but it's so small it would have driven me mad. Fortunately, the decal is sized perfectly to the panel so if you align it carefully, it turns out fine.
This kit doesn't specifically say it, but you can do both open and closed engine panel. Since the engine fits with pins and poly caps, you can change them out, which I intend to do. It's a nice touch and the kit is fairly cheap. Pick one up if you haven't already.
19 August, 19:34
Mark SherwoodI agree,after a frustrating build. You can go to a Tamiya kit and get back to what the hobby is about. . . Enjoyment, satisfaction, reasonable accuracy and a decent finish. Good interior John, looks like the 162 is on track as I would expect from your good self. 🤘🥸🤟🥸👍
21 August, 07:43
Mr DBrilliant thanks for the Advice John..😃👍👍. Appreciate it.
Good luck with rest of build ...nice subject 👌
21 August, 16:13
DoubtingmangoFantastic work on the instruments! Nothing like a nice Tamiya kit to keep the blood pressure down to acceptable levels
21 August, 19:08
JohnThanks Mr James. This is a fun little build. These recent Tamiyas are a treat to put together.
9 September, 21:29
Mark SherwoodThat's a nice representation of the162. I do like that engine, 'ar la The Fast Show ' BRILLIANT!
