Masking tapes removed, revealing a rather faded Swedish camouflage. Now let's give the paint some time to harden complet...

Thomas, I knew you were going to get this kit! 🙂
I was hesitating a lot between the Swedish box and the Jordanian box. It took me a long time to decide, but in the end I ordered the Jordanian one because I already have several future projects with that fantastic Swedish scheme.
I follow you with great interest (as always). It is quite possible that I will finally regret choosing the Jordanian box 😉

Did some dry-fitting yesterday, and just as I expected by the looks of it, it is definitely A-model quality. A lot of fettling, scraping and sanding is required for a decent fit of the major parts such as the fuselage halves and the wings. Good thing it is a small model!

It seems that it is of the same "quality" as their SF260 and Alpha jet kits. Have you ever built the venerable Airfix kit ?

Erik, I actually think that this is a retooling of the Airfix kit. Slightly different parts and recessed panel lines, but the breakdown is almost identical.

I´m following. Looks like a bunch of work to get a proper model out of this kit. I'm sure you will handle it.

I think KP/AZ should start an improvement their molds after so many kit releases and sales, as Special Hobby has already successfully done. It is curious that for some kits they make good molds (such as the Bf-109) and for others they are so mediocre.
Despite this, I am sure that Thomas will do an extraordinary job 👍

This little kit is definitely putting up a fight in every step. Silly me, I thought this was going to be a relaxed weekend project, ha ha. 🙂

KP short run = long work. I prefer Vallejo putty for filling seams on this type of kits, as it comes with a fine tip

Erik yes, I think the photo shows a bit of my frustration with the seam lines. It should not be like this for a 2022 tooling.

Thomas, will the skinny front landing gear hold the weight of all those fishing weights?

Well, those weights are juuuust barely enough to keep the Bulldog on its nose gear and still kind of pivots around its main gear. Good thing that the entire engine compartment behind the dashboard is empty so with some Tetris skills you can fill it completely with those fishing weights.

So the front wheel does not support any weight, as the nose is in balance with the tail. I had the same problem with KPs SIAI Marchetti, and the SH Marchetti needs also quite some weight in the nose.

not a shake an bake-kit for sure. I like how you tackle it. For maximum usage of weight in tight spaces consider lead granules. They come rather cheap by the kilogram and have a diameter of max 1 - 2 mm. You can even drill a hole into the fuselage after it is closed and pour the granules in - followed by some white glue to fix them.

After having lingered in the limbo state of half-finished projects, I have decided to reboot this build. The screwed up paintjob was removed with IPA alcohol and the model is now back to bare plastic. Some correcting fills are done and it is soon time to reapply the primer. I will make my life easier this time and just build the standard Swedish Air Force version. But I have already purchased a second kit to be finished with the Swedish Army splinter camouflage as I think I know this time how to do it properly. Stay tuned!

Great to see that you have restarted the kit. The weight distribution is a real pain. Had similar challenges with my Airfix SK61 build some months ago, Liquid Gravity sorted the issue.
SwAF livery will look aces. Keep up the spirit!👏🏼👍🏻

No idea what that livery will look like, but nice that this one is back at the bench. Reminds me of my Safir which is at a similar state.

Great progress, it will be a great model at the end. Is that the Aires resin cockpit set for the F-4F which you adapted?

Thank you very much to everyone for your support and follow-up 🙂
@Marius : I had the SBS Models resin kit in stock for the Revell kit. This kit is well detailed but complicated to place in the Phantom. I recommend the Aires Kit, much superior in every way 😉

Hi, I have a question. I know I can use filters in my stash, but then I don't see all my models. Can I sort the stash showing all models in a specific order? Could not find an answer in the faq.

As far as I know the only sort order you can select is 'Relevance' or 'A to Z' (by subject name). The sort control is top right under 'Free Text Filter'.

the models in your stash do not change order when you select A-Z or relevance. what changes is the order of the filters. for example in A-Z order, you will se the brands, in alphabetical order, in your case Fred, it starts with
Brand (23)
Advent (1)
Airfix (3)
Azur (1)
Bronco (1)
Doyusha (1)
ESCI (1)
Fujimi (1)
with relevance, it shows first the names with more items behind them, in your case for example
Heller Humbrol (19)
HobbyBoss (17)
Revell (12)
Trumpeter (12)
Tamiya (8)
Italeri (6)
Shizuoka Model Teaching Material Cooperative (5)

you should see all your models (well, if you are below the limit of page visualization that i believe is 3000 items). if you do not see all, either you have a filter that is hiding something, or there is a problem with the page.

strangely enough, when i check my stash, i see a line at the end, that says the number of items Results found: xxxxx, but i do not see that line in your stash, while it does appear in the stash others (even somebody i just tried that has more than 2700 items)
