Interesting example you have selected - 7447 is the one that was used for escape to Austria and hence the special colours:

I am curious to see how you handle your fit trouble.

Gergely Rácz
Well... So am I, Jennifer 🙂

Nice result Gergely.

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Nicolas.

Robert Podkoński
Good job!

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Robert.

Łukasz Gliński
Love these classic colours, nice job 👍

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Łukasz. While comparing to photographs of the actual '7447', camouflage colours seem to match, but when looking at the model itself, something doesn't feel right with them. I don't know why.

Jennifer Franklin
Colours look really good. Very nice work!

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Jennifer.

Thomas Kolb
Man, the Colt looks really great as a model! Your project is inspiring me to perhaps build one myself! I will refer to your experiences.

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Thomas. I never thought that I could inspire anyone in modelling, haha. 🙂
Anyway, the Trumpeter kit has several serious fit and shape issues, some of which I was unable to fix.

Guy Rump
Very nice work. 👍

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Guy.

Ekki
Excellent job!

Gergely Rácz
Thank You, Ekki.

Great work!👍🏻

Gergely Rácz
Thanks! I've got more of the same kit in my stash, I hope I can build them without these ugly mistakes I made with these two. 🙂

Thomas Kolb
Yes, haha I also often find that I need to build the same kit several times before I am satisfied with how it turns out.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Lovely result. 👍

Jan Peters
Very nice indeed 👍🏻

Sebastian Meyner
I am not into ship models, but this a stunning piece of art 🙂 very well done mate 👍

Spanjaard
same as Sebastian 🙂

Landlubber Mike
Wow, this is absolutely beautiful!! Well done!

Frank Spahr
Thanks a lot to you all, much appreciated!

Zbynek Honzik
Fantastic job! 👏👏👏

Matti Thomaes
Fantastic work, I envy your 1/700th scale rigging skills

Frank Spahr
Thank you! Matti, I´ve tried various mediums before, but this Modelkasten wire seems to me a workable solution for people of lesser rigging skills like me. It´s much more forgiving than stretched sprue, even more forgiving than UNI Caenis.

Steffen
Hallo Thomas, ja, die sind noch da!
Hättest du sonst noch an etwas aus meinem Stash Interesse?
Gruß, Steffen

Thomas Neuss
Hi - die beiden Sachen sind dann alles. Ich komme mir selber etwas dämlich vor, dass ich das übersehen habe, als ich die Mosquito angefragt habe... seufz. Jetzt bin ich alles durchgegangen. Viele Grüße, Thomas

George Williams
Great start on what is a very nice kit.

Juergen Klinglhuber
seems to be a good plan,.....🙂 👍

Great progress!👍🏻

As usual, a full build video with all details can be found on my channel: Youtube Video

Nicolas
Looks great. 👍

★ Starfish ★
@Nicolas Danke - thanks 🙂

DerMattes
Great build, but I was surprised by the quality issues. Seems like these kits are from old molds, not the recent double seater ones.

★ Starfish ★
@Mattes Danke! According to scalemates, these molds are from 1991. Hopefully, the Revell, Hasegawa and GWH kits I have are better ☺️

Skyhiker
They came out nice. Well done. I personally like the green one the most.

Beautiful twins! Loved the build video which highlighted your… challenges with the kits!

★ Starfish ★
Haha yes, these two were definitely challenging! Thank you!

OK. Well I decided since I was bogged down in my other builds, Id go ahead and do this one.

Frank Frazetta has always been a favorite of mine. I fell in love with his stuff seeing the covers of Conan paperbacks. Then in 78 the first Molly Hatchet album came out with this as its cover. I bought that album based SOLELY on that cover as it was their first and I hadnt heard them yet. LOL Luckily they were a great band. LOL

There is a Frazetta museum here in Stroudsburg PA, about 3 hours from my house. Im planning on taking this there and taking pics of it there. IF it comes out worth a damn.

OK, so, its a relatively simple build. BUT, as you can see, while the fit is OK, it has serious seems. *sigh* Its gonna require a little more work than I was hoping for.

I am not attaching the arms or head to the rider yet, nor the cloak. Those will be painted then attached to make it easier. The things like reigns are separate pieces that will get painted then all put together.

Next session is getting those seams done.

👀 cool subject. I remember that album.

Why not. Frank inspired me as a kid to learn how to paint and draw.

After way more work on the seams than should have been necessary, initial flat black coat on. I sprayed the head after the pic. Also the base in dark earth as a base for that.
