Great work! Nice to see someone else sticking stowage to clothes pins for painting!

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thanks, @Doubtingmango. I love adding stowages, it helps make the model more interesting.

In case anyone is interested, I made this short video summarizing the weathering approach. Youtube Video

Jerry DeLuyck
That turned out great!

gorby
Thanks for the weathering video. Very interesting.

Torsten
Splendid 😎 ❤️️

Torsten
Nice clean build 👍

Torsten
Beautiful classic pose and well set in scene 👍

Torsten
Not often seen, well done 👍

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fine build so far, Alberto

Treehugger
It's a little tricky with the clear parts on top. The top "housing" is molded with the big hull, and so if you glue on the big parts, you can't glue on the clear parts anymore, because the clear parts are supposed to be glue on from the inside.

Torsten
👍

This is amazing!

Total badass!

Torsten
Awesome 😎

Love your Macross fighter -shame they only. Have this in 1/48th

Torsten
Well done 👍

For a relatively new kit I am surprised on how much flash and fitting issues this kit has.

Skyhiker
It's really hard for me to fight off the urge to correct the structural issues with this kit. But I promised myself I would make this one out of the box.

Patrick Hagelstein
I've seen that promise before Skyhiker! 😂 Good luck keeping this one OOB! 😉👍🏼

Skyhiker
I really hate Revell conopys.

Sergio Ordonez
Mate, I think you should put the windshield uspside down. The ángel does not cope with the real one as I see on photographs.

Skyhiker
Unfortunately it looks even worse the other way around. The idiot engineers at Revell should be fired.

Sergio Ordonez
Well, I had some work with French engineers and I know shit happens. Could you take a photo with this one in the other position?

The windshield is not an isoscelles triangle so the windshield has not a 45 degree ángel over the capot. Please, see these example of a TA-152 (and please, mind It is 35 years old and I was only 13 when I drestroyed It).
I think an easy solution can be made. I do not want any mate to be anoyed by an engineering issue. I had them everyday (it's my job, Factory engineering problem solving, known as 'shit managing") and It can destroy your mojo.

What a terrible canopy

Skyhiker
After several hours of sculpting I got the canopy to fit better. I will continue with it tomorrow.

Sergio Ordonez
Your mojo works, mate! Now you have became a great problem solver!
On the other hand, I think another 3D engineering guy needs to stop drinking and 20 years of 2D drafting. The fitting is worse than I could imagine. But I see is no a problem for a seasoned mate like you. Great work, mate!

Nicolas
Following. I build this kit several times in older versions. The fit of the canopy is realy sh*t. My solution was (with about 10 years) to sand the backside of the windshild till it fitted. Of corse so most of the frame is missing.

Thomas Kolb
What a struggle! It reminds me of some Heller and Amodel kits. But it looks that you manage to coax it into shape!
