Ah, finally off the bench. Glad to be done with this one. Canopy issues, more bits than usual breaking off and just over...

Thanks Doubtingmango. 👍 I guess "low effort" is relative, lol. I really am trying to not have things on the "shelf of doom" and complete a kit before I start another, but the point at which I say "good enuf" and move on is a moving target some days...

I get it John. I still remember the first time I forced myself to use EVERY piece of photo etch from an Eduard detail kit. I now look at the detail kits as "suggested" modifications…

Made a start on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, I'm having my wings permanently folded, this is just all dry fitted so far, I'll add more detail later when the wing is added. No point cleaning up the inside part of the wing of ejection holes, as this will be hidden behind the wing. Think it looks ok so far.
2 August, 14:11
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
So today I've semi painted up the other sides wing root fold system. And started dry fitting the engine. Need to pick a scheme from the Techmod decals at some point, thinking of 1 or 4 so far.

Ooh landing gear and engine support structure. Just needs a few touchups, thats it done for now, have to glue it all up straight away, doing it later would be a pain in the ass. Looks ok, I'm no expert on these things. Just for fun build in-between other stuff.

I think, as an engine that'll do really, don't need anymore detail on it. Couldn't see it if it was there anyway. I'll paint the rear bank of cylinders, but that's probably it.
9 August, 13:43
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
That's all for today, making the most of what you get in the kit, only added bits of wire, no sense going mad with detailing parts you wont see. Prop tomorrow, finish the rear bank of Cylinders, and make a start on the cockpit. Looking nice so far, looks like an engine to me.
9 August, 13:43
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Engine, exhaust manifold system and front bulkhead done. For what you can see, the kit parts are good enough. No point spending lots of money on a resin engine. Just some wire and a bit of paint.

That's it for today, don't think I can handle seatbelts as well. So far so good, looks like a cockpit, when it's in the plane, you won't see anything. I tarted up the kit seat, as I couldn't stomach making the PE eduard one.
11 August, 19:54
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
So I can do seat belts, but I hate doing seatbelts, not brilliant, but for all you'll see, it'll do me. My fear of PE is lessening, I'm getting a bit more confident each time, next the top straps. Then I can tackle the joining of the fuselage halves together, which is tricky on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, as a few parts need extra sanding to fit. Looks ok to me so far.
13 August, 11:00

Seatbelts done, that'll do. With my eyesight it'll look amazing from far away lol 😆 but for me, as a learning exercise, looks fine. I would wholeheartedly recommend HGW Laser seatbelts, they make it a lot easier.
13 August, 13:09
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Tomorrow I'll make a start on the Empennage and getting everything to fit. I'm not using any of the PE hinges either. Then wings.

Hmm, this is going to be interesting. As usual no idea what I'm doing, just riding by the seat of my pants. I'll try and block in all the colours then look into weathering. Who knows how this'll look.
30 August, 14:06
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Well, it's blueish grey now, or greyish blue. Because I'm a cantankerous stubborn fool, I paint everything with brushes, Main colours blocked in, teeny tiny fiddly bits added, now I've just got to build some more layers up, start lightening and shading areas. It won't be brilliant, but it may look good on my shelf. Which is the main thing, due to lack of space, pretty much all the aircraft I'm going to build will have folded wings.

Very nice, the wing internal colour looks spot on👌, l tried mixing this colour but struggled to get right tone.
Nice looking kit, what do you make of the Trumpeter kits??
Good luck with the next steps 👍👍

Hello Mr D, so far I've only looked at early Trumpeter kits, panel lines are a bit too light for me, the early ones have gimmicks like working wing folds, and the PE hinges, but they build up quite well, and to me look like what it says on the box. I've got a lot more Trumpeter and Hobby Boss kits to build up in the future.

As is my usual way, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, just going with the flow, it seems to want to be like this.
A very, very long way to go still, it'll be a lot lighter than it is now, and not so stark. I know, I shouldn't weather it until later, but i can't help it, it's a curse.

![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
It's a cracking looking model 👍👍
The weathering is looking good nice balance.
The internal metal parts ....the yellow/green..Did you mix or have the colour ready in a bottle
2 September, 17:14
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Mr D, the green is just mixed up as and when I need it, it's just a caramel mixed with green paint.

at present, the engine covers have been removed because I would be completely dissatisfied with both paintings and tragic fitting.

Thanks a lot for kind word..I'll provide some more pictures as soon as the project is completely done.

Super cool! I love projects with Viggen wearing the "leaves and meadows" camo. Your masks seem just perfect.

That looks amazing! The colors seem pretty accurate too, very difficult to balance.

BEAUTIFUL!
This is one of my projects. I have the kit, some resin goodies, and the decals ready!
Which paint brand did you use?

Nice 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 👍👍

Thanks 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.

I 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. 🤘🥸🤟🥸👍
