Alright, hi its me again i just cant seem to stop posting here since im so curious about yall. What is the perfect and i mean THE perfect model building condition that could hypothetically get you through a divorce. Heres mine. A fryday, around 6pm (or like the first stage of a sunset), no homework, a BIG glass of iced tea in my cupholder in my room, just got back from claypitrc with a new model after almost going to latvia when trying to go home (this has happened to me before) and now i have a 1:72 mid WW2 german strike aircraft model on my desk, about to build it, i turn the tv on and watch youtube. That is what is the absolute perfect conditions for me. Sorry for rambling again i might just have adhd or a case of dumb child syndrome anyway byeeee (i just feel really energetic right now)

I don't have experience with divorce, nor do I want to.
My perfect scenario is a Saturday morning, wife and kids out of the house, and some nice music blasting from the stereo. Depending on my mood, anything between classical and AC/DC.

Based (as google says "The term "based" on the Internet typically means agreement, and social media and forum users commonly use it to express approval or admiration.")

I'll take a close look at your model. I have the same one in my stash and would like to build it myself in the near future. Have fun Neil!

Parked the 360, watching. You should have prolific as your middle name, the amount of builds dude. It would make me more confused than I am. Hurrichurchspitwell anyone. 🤟😵💫🤘😵💫🖖😵💫👍🤣🥸

Wow! Welcome all. Really great to have interest from such a talented bunch of fellow modellers. @stephan, looking forward to your version very much also 👍👍 @mark, I know, I'm a bit nuts! I love having lots of the go, takes a while to complete and I'm useless at doing reveal photos. But it keeps it all fresh for me! My job is all about multiple projects, so similar state of mind! 😂

I do NOT envy you your masking job but it should look amazing when you finish (or run out of tape). 👍
9 February, 16:31
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi John, thanks for your interest mate. I should be ok tbh as the kit comes with a superdecal (cheat) sheet! So although there's some stressful masking on a metallic finish, it's hopefully all doable 👍 I've added some more images today. Thanks for your likes also to all who've dropped by too 🙂
14 February, 20:54
![](/profiles/img/22896-413-s.jpg)
I did this one as well. Those decals are actually pretty good.
I tried acrylic metallics for the first and last time on this one. When I removed the masking for the red, it pulled EVERYTHING, primer included, right up. The finish was awesome until then. Alclad and Metalizer for me from there out.

Hi J35J - thanks very much 👍 🙂
Hi Donald, Yes, I agree, the kit decals are nice - though they are on the thicker side. On application they hide a lot of the kits surface detail in my opinion. However subsequent passes with more (and more!) softening and setting solution is doing them justice - more pictures to follow. Sorry to hear of your paint issues when building. Yes. My version is painted solely with Vallejo acrylics: Vallejo primer, Vallejo colour and Metal Colour 👍 You rescued your version well, looks good 🙂
8 July, 15:45
![](/profiles/img/22896-413-s.jpg)
Thank you. In person you can see the areas that pulled fairly clearly.
I used Solvaset on the decals. That managed to get them to settle down fairly well. But yeah, it did hide a bit. BUT, i liked the thickness as those large ones required a good bit of fiddling to get where they needed to be and they stood up to the handling perfectly.

Metalisers require a certain sense of masochism 🙂 I always try to paint the metaliser last, although mskign the red in this case is challenging, I admit. In general, the sequence of paints is very important in all cases and is certainly important with pesky colors such as yellow

Welcome Robert, Jennifer and Gorby, very pleased to have your interest 🙂 your definitely right there @gorby. I mean I'm used to building 'duff' old kits, but this kit is duffer than the duffest thing ever made by the worlds duffest person! If that makes sense! Hahaha 🤣🤣
20 February, 00:42
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
With all the faith within me I summon blessings upon you in this build Neil. This one makes AA Models look like Hasegawa. With that said I felt a great sense of accomplishment upon finishing mine ( something I rarely feel).
20 February, 01:52
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
it takes courage to even start such a great quality model.... but you are certainly getting good result out of it, looking forward the end result
20 February, 03:15
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Welcome! Thanks very much for all your encouraging words mates. You talented bunch are all very kind to show interest in my efforts with such a humble kit. It's definitely fighting me! I've got it a bit further along now, will add some imagery soon - we're at the primer, sand, prime, sand stage. Hahaha!

Thanks for wrestling with this beast of a kit so I don't have to. 👍 Looking good so far with lots of your elbow grease.

![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Cheers mate! 🙂 Thanks for your encouragement. I'll continue the battle on this one 👍
18 March, 19:53
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
I'm used to building old kits that need 'help'. But this one needs a bit more than usual. After a lot of pre-paint priming filling/scraping/hacking/filing/sanding work and then more post primer fiddling, it's beginning to take shape somewhat. I couldn't resist giving it a blast of aluminium lightly on the wings last night! 😉 👍
10 May, 13:12
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Remarkable perseverance and patience Neil. Most people would have given up on it by now.
10 May, 14:16
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Gorby 👍 Thanks mate! Yeah, I'll get it into some kind of Mustang shape hopefully.
10 May, 19:17
![](/profiles/img/15497-946-s.jpg)
I for sure would have given up!
a lot of work but the result is convincing 👍

![](/profiles/img/106289-364-s.jpg)
Is it weird that I could feel your pain, just by looking at the photos of your build?
11 May, 11:36
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Thomas 🙂 yeah, it's tried my patience that's for sure. Thanks for your words of encouragement though mate, really appreciated 👍 I'll get there. At the end of the day, if it looks (a bit) like a Mustang then it is a Mustang!! Obviously it's no Hasegawa! @mike, hehehe. Yeah I've kept my language polite, but not surprised my pain was still apparent! 🤣 Thanks for dropping by 👍
11 May, 12:39
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Thanks Nathan - I know you 'appreciate' this kit journey also! I'm really not sure that a stars and stripes aluminium scheme is gonna be the easiest finish to help hide imperfections of this kit either. But I'll do my best 👍
15 May, 12:16
![](/profiles/img/31412-245-s.jpg)
Following! Watching your builds of those older kits is something I can never get enough of because of the quality of your builds and the nostalgia factor. Big Respect from my side. Greetings, Patryk.
15 May, 12:57
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Patryk 🙂 Thanks mate! That means a lot. It's true that more often than not, it's a bit of a slog to get these oldies into shape. It's often tempting to bin one, hahaha 🤣 Especially when I look on the feed and see all these wonderful new kits which seem to (nearly always) fit in such an accomplished manner. But I rather masochisticaly choose to continue! Who knows why!? You're very kind, especially as I'm aware of your own skills. Greetings back atcha matey 😎👍
15 May, 20:27
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi mates. Thanks very much for checking in again and your encouraging words, hope you're both well 🙂 👍 Your feedback is most gratefully received and buoys me up to continue attacking this dastardly duo! POW! BANG! KAPOW! 👍 😉
28 June, 09:35
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
It'a always a joy seeing someone transform an older, ill-fitting kit into a work of art. following!
6 July, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hiya CaptGPF 👍 you're extremely kind to me, I'm trying to drag this kit into something respectable, it's not the best kit (understatement!) But it is a stunningly beautiful airframe and surprisingly large too! Thanks for your compliment 🙏
@Mr D thanks very much for your message also, I've built a few metallic finish aircraft of late, with each build my ability to add shade and depth to a metal finish is improving, though a long way from great! 👍
Thanks also for the likes to all who've dropped by too 🙂 I've parked it for a few days again to let everything cure. But more pics again soon 👍

See what you mean, the canopy is 1:46 scale 🤣, lve often had to re-make parts from old spru's n use super glue-gel to build up poorly moulded parts. It's not good but part of modeling l think.
Looking good 👌

![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hello mate. Er, yeah you're right!... I may have gone a bit build crazy the end of last year 😜
18 January 2022, 13:01
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
I'm nearing the end of/or have finished multiple projects. So I thought I'd revisit this dodgy old Tamiya kit that I'd started a couple of years ago (and shelved) to see if I could progress it into something halfway decent? Those exhaust nozzles... I mean really what were they thinking!? haha!
22 June 2023, 10:55
![](/profiles/img/110025-775-s.png)
Oh Man! I remember this kit, probably the worst Tamiya kit going. I gave up, still in the box half built. But, looking at your perseverance on the build it's looking good. Sterling work on the engine, cockpit and thrusters. 👍🥸🤟
22 June 2023, 12:45
![](/profiles/img/48987-587-s.jpg)
Yeah I remember as well... I had restarted modelling and everyone was like "get Tamiya, they're amazing, build themself, hardly need glue..." And one day I saw this kit and thought "Oh, tamiya! I'm not really interested in Harriers but for that price I'll treat myself to a self-building-precision-engineered superkit!" - I was in for a disappointment😄 (Now I check with this site before I buy 👍)
Great work with this Neil, you're the true master of vintage models 🙂🤘🏻
22 June 2023, 16:43
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hiya mates 🙂 Thanks both for dropping by. You're both very kind to say such nice things 🙂 I'll try my best to wrestle it into some sorta Harrieresque shape 👍
I 100% agree with you both... I purchased it back in 2019 when I though I'd get back into modelling and (stupidly) assumed that this Tamiya kit would be an easy build - oh dear is all I can politely say! I too have 'parked it' in-between other builds many times, but rest assured in the longer-term It won't beat me! @Daniel - yeah good plan, I was foolish not to.
25 July 2023, 14:18
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
Great progress! Taking a chair.
Went in exactly the same trap as you, Back into modeling after 30years. Through I did a bargain buying a Tamiya kit for a fraction of the price comparing with the Kinetic kit. The kit is really a lemon but good for practicing your building skills.
Finalized one myself some months ago. The hatch behind the cockpit is a real challenge fixing into position.

Hi J35J 🙂 Thanks mate! And thanks for the tip. Yeah I'm getting there, slowly! I've added some more imagery it's a long hard slog on this one for sure.
5 December 2023, 09:44
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hello Jos 🙂👋 welcome. I apologise in advance as this won't be one of my best! But it will hopefully end up looking more (shaped) like a Sea Harrier than this kit did when it left the factory 👍
5 December 2023, 15:42
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
The SHAR is coming together in a great way Neil. You will prevail!👍🏻
How did you get the raised panel line back in?
5 December 2023, 19:08
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
I admire your tenacity! With all the work you did on the intakes and nozzles - this kit is definitely a labor of love. 😀. Can't wait to see you finish it!
J35J, you can restore panel lines using a pair of slightly thicker masking tapes, fill in the middle with puttly and sand it smooth before removing it. I think finescale had a YouTube video on how to do that.
