Mr D
Thanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍

I'm in!

Mr D
Thanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Looking good mate. Following!!
20 August, 20:00
Mr D
Good to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍

Love the idea of filling with acrylic, never thought about it. Does it hold well though time?
26 August, 13:14
Mr D
Hi, Yes lve used it alot and holds up really well , l find the fillers a bit messy and more trouble than it's worth on small gaps.
You do need to allow overnight drying with it for best sanding results.
😀👍
26 August, 13:42
Doubtingmango
Brilliant! The putty really can create a mess with finely molded details
26 August, 15:01
NLAWScametovisit
This is extremely clever!!!
26 August, 15:25
Mr D
Yes it has a habit of filling in panel lines n bits not necessary!!
This technique is same as using alot of paint to fill a gap or high build primer ect...just becomes part of the paint layer as it acrylic too.
But it's not for big gaps!! As there is a bit of shrinking overnight.
Be onto marking rivets next step after sanding... Then need to make choices on open or closed canopy???

Mr D
Thanks Mike 👋😀👍.
Ive got the canopy on now, HB do nice clear glass, so I'm having a closed cockpit,
So bit of masking to do there next.
Ive got X2 builds on the go at min.
All the best 👍👍
30 August, 19:09
Miguel Vaquero
I got to get myself a chrome pen. The result on those details look awesome
4 September, 09:53
Mr D
Thanks Miguel, the pen needs a good shake prior to use , if it awkward area you can pump some out n use brush...but work fast.
Best to put a clear over next day as it's bit delicate.

Alexander Perov
Do not forget that the mast of the antenna passes through the windshield and is very clearly visible. This model may come in handy in my albums
18 September, 19:29
Mr D
Ok thanks Alexander, HB didnt make the Mast installation very clear, the show it just glued on the top, will be very weak!! I've seen one build and it's come away!!
I'm going to use steel rod.

Trez
Smart kit, like the bubble canopy and cockpit is a little different. Assume they based this craft on the Fw190…
19 October, 20:07
Mr D
Hi Trez 👋
Yes they were heavily influenced by German technology, the Germans wanted them to help support on the eastern front and protect the oilfields there.
It's a nice looking Aircraft, l liked the colour scheme and thought it be nice change n addition to my collection.
Canopy a nice easy mask.
😃👍

Alexander Perov
Well, they said, they said, and you did everything wrong, probably you never looked at this model in my albums
31 October, 17:54
Mr D
Hi Alexandra.
I only just found your Album on IAR,
It's very good.... I've only been in the hobby for Months and im learning really, l know the antenna isn't accurate, l wanted it to be strong n durable.
31 October, 19:58
gorby
Only a tiny number of people will either know or care if the antenna isn't accurate Mr D – I didn't know and now that I do, I still don't care. 😄
The antenna looks good and that's all that matters, that fact you've managed to get as good as you have at modelling in such a short space of time is remarkable.
At the end of the day it's only a bloody model and this is only a bloody hobby – not a moral crusade to populate the planet with totally accurate replicas of the real thing. I haven't got a problem if other people want to count every rivet on their own model, but annoys me when they expect it of others.
Just have fun. 🙂

Hi Gorby 👋😃.
Good to catch up.
Thanks 👍 lm happy as with it as l see I've improved a bit on previous models.
The Antenna design was begging to break n go wrong the designed way, first antenna...l want to play bit safe.
Everyone has different abilities and l respect them all.
Good luck with your projects 👍

Hi Robert 👋😃👍

Trez has asked about the origins of this plane - in fact the whole fuselage was taken (copied) from PZL P.24, of which Romanians have acquired the licence before the II WW.
1 November, 16:59
Mr D
Hi Robert 👋.
I will have to look up the PZL P.24 .
There is a YouTube video about the IAR-80 l watched it was quite interesting, the Germans supplied them with some tech, l know the fuselage had to be extended to get CG right.... hence the long fornt-end.
I really liked the look of the model and the colour scheme..... I thought it would make a nice addition to my display.....bit of variation.
The Soviet's ended up with a few after the war .....and used them as fighter trainers....Just green with red star.
1 November, 17:25
Mr D
Hi Zbynek 👋... thanks 👍

Thanx Steven, Nik and Bas 🙂

Bas,
Trees are made with old trees from a railroad, cleaned from "leaves". Then I glued branches of zeeschuym with CA glue and painted the whole tree brown.
For leaves I have mixed some dried parsly in small pieces and used those for leaves.

Zeeschuym can be seen on the second picture. It's actually some kind of dried plant with fine branches.

You're welcome Bas 🙂

Zeeschuim is often called 'seafoam'.
