Super Etendard kitty Hawk vyhliadka: Prezentácia Mozaika zoznam 1 September 11, 2022
First problem in my face..... the Pj productions pilot seems to be ultra big! but I'm sure the problem is the Kitty hawk ... the seat seems to be too small. The oilot compared with other pilots of other kits have a "standard" size....
2 September 11, 2022
No problem... I found a freeware pilot and i 3d modeled the helmet to be suitable to this model and I scaled the size to be suitable to this model
3 4 September 11, 2022
the 3d print was succesfull
5 6 September 11, 2022
it fits nice in the cockpit
7 September 11, 2022
he can reach the controls and fit in the seat
8 9 September 11, 2022
Once painted the result I think is nice
10 September 11, 2022
I have added some details as the oxygen tube and the life vest
11 12 13 14 15 September 11, 2022
the cockpit seems to fit nicely
16 17 18 September 11, 2022
Other present from the extinct kitty hawk.... extremely ugly expulsion "marks" you have enpugh plastic for make another kit...
19 September 11, 2022
general parts of the fuse tack held to check the fitting
20 September 11, 2022
a bit complex fitings
21 September 11, 2022
interios have been painted black and the engine in the colours suggested... nothing is going to be visible. Except by the intake ducts.... obviously no intake tubes exist....
22 23 September 11, 2022
tailcone have to be riveted... no rivets in this part of the kit, although in the instructions profiles they clearly appear....
24 25 26 September 11, 2022
intakes have a bit complex join
27 September 11, 2022
top deck installed...
28 September 11, 2022
Another incongruency of the kit..... The Kit comes to make it with flaps deployed only... but when the Super Etendard Deploy the flaps also deploy the slats.... so I have to make some scratchbuilding to make it look accurate
29 September 11, 2022
Not dificult modification
30 September 11, 2022
at the left you can see how many parts the wing came. so only need to cut the tip slat and join yo the centre one
31 32 September 11, 2022
Here one small problem... if you make this kit I suggest to join the tailcone to the rest of the fuse prior to joining both halves, this way will fit better
33 34 35 September 11, 2022
Another present of Kitty.... horrible non plastic filled areas
36 September 11, 2022
solved with a drop of CA
37 September 11, 2022
general assembly
38 39 September 11, 2022
Flap pylons glued together... no comments better...
40 41 September 11, 2022
the underside of the kit in the instructions seems to be simple and with only a pair of ventilation grilles.
42 September 11, 2022
the kit came with some holes that have to be filled with some parts that are in the plastic sprues but that aren't referred in the instruction book
43 September 11, 2022
the fitting of this parts is..... Horrible
44 September 11, 2022
photoetched spoilers
45 September 11, 2022
flaps have also missing position holes
46 47 48 September 11, 2022
i glued some spacers on the first flap to ensure clearance
49 50 51 52 September 11, 2022
profiles of the booklet seems some missing rivets on the ailerons
53 September 11, 2022
no problem....
54 55 56 57 58 September 11, 2022
Remember the missign grilles of the belly... I traced it on the CAD program and cut in 0.30 evergreen sheet with my plotter
59 September 11, 2022
base realde filled and sanded
60 September 11, 2022
grilles in place
61 September 11, 2022
Another problem of the kit... i noticed that some small parts just came unfilled of plastic so they are missing... this is the case of this periscope duct... Only came one of the two that the kit have... so I prepared a mould to copy it
62 September 11, 2022
blue is silicone mould, at left the original part, right the copy
63 September 11, 2022
both periscopes installed
64 September 11, 2022

66 67 September 11, 2022

74 75 September 11, 2022

76 77 September 11, 2022

78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 September 11, 2022

87 September 11, 2022
this decal doesn't fit the space properly so I have to split in tree parts, latelly i will complete the red lines
88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 October 23, 2022

Album info At the beginning it is going to be a fast build to enjoy the scale modelling but it turned a bit complex....
