Watching with interest!

Oleg Bogolei
Haha) Good luck with it! I'm stuck with the UAV version on a putting/sanding and he's waiting for the next inspiration to come)

Kim Harris
Oleg, what's the UAV version? I only found one model of that aircraft.

Oleg Bogolei
Da-42 Dominator (SOVA-M SVM-72009, 1:72)
This one

Kim Harris
Oleg, I understand now. I think that is basically the same kit with different boxart and instructions because mine has about 30% parts not used including the long nose on the Dominator.

Oleg Bogolei
Yes, i have cocpit in my kit)

Alex K
A general aviation aircraft, a demanding kit, and a project with personal/family connection... > I'll be glad to follow your efforts - good luck!

Thomas Kolb
This is going to be great! Watching with interest!

The UAV version hasn't got any clear windows included
Was a bit tricky to build at times but fun.
Will be nice to see a GA version build. Thinking of getting that one as well.

Will follow

I also have one of this in my stash...
Following!

Mr D
Like it, it's a tiny one ... good fun 😀👍👍

Gordon Sørensen
Looks like a challenging kit with lots of small pieces and lots of flash.
It looks like the 'cooling fins' are suppose to be mounted from the inside of the nacelle, not on top…

Kim Harris
Gordon. I just checked and you are absolutely correct. I will try to remove it and insert the relevant part from above. I need yo figure out a way to remove a glued on part that has been primed with minimal damage. What an idiotic thing to do.

Ben M
I find working tamiya extra thin into the joint allows it to be loosened up and pulled apart.

Kim Harris
Ben, thank you for your suggestion. I will try that! Otherwise I will be deploying a razor saw and putty 😀

Neuling
Good work on details. Paintwork, weathering and damage effect are very appealing.

Mr James
What Neuling said. Beautiful detailing

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Mr James
Lovely work. Nice chipping

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Mr James
Excellent build. The amount detail you've added is superb.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Haha how many crusaders and voodoos can a man have ??? 🤣

Answer = Not enough

Looks like my phantom stash… 38 and counting 😵

Rando
Hahah yes I certainly have some specific interests! Not pictured are five conversion kits I've collected between the two planes so far, and a box of Voodoo aftermarket.

And 38, wow. I imagine you've built quite a few more, what's your pick for who makes the best one? I heard the recent Tamiya release was among the best models ever kitted.

David H
Sorry for the late answer. TBH , they all have their ups and downs. The Hase is getting old and lacks detail but still renders a good likeness. Best for me is the Zoukei mura kit. It's just personal as the Tamiya kit is fantastic as well. I actually quite like the old italeri kit as a base for a decent model. It's cheaper than the Hase and the savings can't be spent on useful resin parts. Academy has taken the place of Hase as the go to for a decent well priced kit.

Following; there are a lot of F8-E Crusaders!!

Rando
Oh yeah hahah, I'd like to know if other modelers have a singular obsession with a specific subject like I do with the Crusader. Maybe it was because it had its own episode on Dogfights and featured a lot on Area 88. It's just a unique and aesthetically pleasing fighter jet. The Sword RF-8 release got me more into building some 1/72 scale so I'm getting a couple Academy kits and decals too.

Casey Beckett
Well someone has done a fine job raising kids. Nice haul!

Rando
Thanks Casey 😄 growing my Phantom stash
