The cockpit is very puritanical, but unfortunately there is not enough documentation on it. The fit of the parts is very poor and needs a lot of filling and sanding.

My biggest issue was fitting the seat and the mid portion of the wheel bay, had to add 1 mm plastic card on both sides. Looking forward seeing it done! 👍

komoras, I encountered the same problem: the landing gear bay cannot be fitted where it is intended. I used a milling head to remove enough of it to fit.

Interesting aircraft, interesting build.
Incidentally, I would suggest 'Spartan' as a better way to describe the cockpit rather than 'puritanical'. 👍

Finished. Unfortunately it has a few mistakes, but an interesting item for my collection.

Thank you!
Something I noticed after the model was finished: the drawing in the painting instructions shows a circular hatch or cover on the top of the fuselage, in front of the cabin. At first I thought I had sanded it down and not scratched it back, but in that photo, when it's not primed, you can see that it wasn't on the fuselage. I don't know if it was on the original plane.
Also missing from the right wing tip is a pitot tube or antenna, which is visible in the original photos, but I didn't notice it until too late.

What would one expect from a Mach 2 kit? A lot of fun! I started removing the ejection pin marks from the inside of the ...

Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉

Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm

That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍

As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

Can't you strip the sprues as a whole of the paint? Dip them in a bath of paint stripper? Might be a whole lot easier than sanding each piece

Most of the pieces are under carriage, so they're not that visible......but I stay awake at night knowing there are seams and that they must be eliminated! I think I botched the body paint job and I hadn't noticed on its original project. I just went over the lint - think HAIR - with 600 to 2000 and that took care of it. Mostly, I just thought it was funny that whomever I bought this kit from had gone to that much trouble to paint pieces ON the sprues with a brush, only to be done over with a rattlecan OFF the sprues.

I feel your pain. I'm currently sanding tanks on a truck. Tanks that will never be seen, yet I've spent a few hours already on them.

The TS4 German Grey isn't nearly dark enough for the dash. Or, the actual color of the dash should be black, but the instructions called out for German Grey......I dunno, Tamiya.

Sometimes, it's easier to use a thin Sharpie, for knobs and buttons. It dries fast, so if you make a mistake, you can touch up, more or less, straight away. I also use a Sharpie for window rubbers, etc

lots of work, but it is looking nice now.
i got this one accidentally in my stash for a very, very long time.....

What does that aqueous black surfacer 1000 thin down with? Isn't aqueous a water based paint? Does it work well as a primer or does it peel off like the acrylic "primers"?
21 August, 20:19
![](/profiles/img/72957-816-s.jpg)
I haven't tried to thin it with water although it is promised to work. I could airbrush mr.surfacer 1000 without thinning with my old 0,4mm needle airbrush, but in case I want to thin it I use Mr.Hobby Color Thinner 400 (turqoise colored bottle). I think this works very well as a primer. It sticks and it can be smoothed with sand paper.
22 August, 14:52
![](/profiles/img/43601-784-s.png)
Nice work so far, watching! I also use aqueous black surfacer. I thin it 50% with Tamiya's X20A, spray it with a 0.4 mm needle at 15-17 psi. It works a treat.
22 August, 16:53
![](/profiles/img/46074-728-s.jpg)
Thanks for the info on the surfacer. I'm looking for alternatives to using heavy chemicals, and hopefully this will be an answer.
23 August, 08:53

Welcome, mates! 😄 @Skyhiker I just tried and it seems you can thin aqueous surfacer with water. I didn't paint anything with it yet.

I am all eyes! Very cool indeed! I was initially quite baffled with the Swedish markings, the "what-if" went over my head.
