Interesting project!

J35J
I'm in for the flash flesta 😅👍🏻

Robert Podkoński
Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉

István Szücs
Robert, almost you'd build an A-Model kit

Robert Podkoński
Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm

That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍

Martin
As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!

and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

S M
Gotta see this! 😄

John Hughes
This looks very Gerry Anderson, so I'm in!

Robert Podkoński
What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.

Guy Rump
I'm watching as well Robert 🙂 👍

Ekki
And me.

Robert Podkoński
Feel warmly welcomed, Mates!

Mid Franconian
Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…

Bruce Huxtable
Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!

Ben M
It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.

Ludvík Kružík
Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!

Robert Podkoński
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

Welcome, Palo!

Ludvík Kružík
He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄

Really interesting build, but can't wait to see how you will bring it to life....

servalpe
Thanks guys for your comments and interest. Unfortunately, you won't see the final result until next year, I have 6 aircrafts to paint and finish this year 😉

Bruce Huxtable
Patience is a virtue, Servalpe. Don't rush them 🙂

Count me in 👀

David Taylor
Brilliant,well done.

gorby
WOW! Absolutely fantastic.

NLAWScametovisit
This is really really cool

Mr D
Truly brilliant 👌👍👍
Who wouldn't want this in there display, lots of work...but must be very rewarding.
Well done 💯%

Guy Rump
Very nice build! 👍

Mr James
Lovely work

Matti Thomaes
Lovely piece of scratch work, very original display. The first wheels up model without a pilot that still is realistic i've seen so far...

Alex Rakhimgulov
OMG! Great job!

Doubtingmango
Pretty Hurrie!

Ray Loch
Great Display. Amazing work on the catapult.

J35J
Excellent build!👍🏻

David H
Speechless..wow.

Neuling
So clean and well painted. Excellent color modulations on the exhaust.

Guy Rump
Excellent result. 👍

Ekki
Brilliant job!

Cristian A
What a BEAST !

Cristian A
The engines are perfect!

Robert Podkoński
The next Salamander? Taking a seat!

S M
Welcome, podkon! 😄 I have plenty of Salamanders to be built XD

What does that aqueous black surfacer 1000 thin down with? Isn't aqueous a water based paint? Does it work well as a primer or does it peel off like the acrylic "primers"?

S M
I haven't tried to thin it with water although it is promised to work. I could airbrush mr.surfacer 1000 without thinning with my old 0,4mm needle airbrush, but in case I want to thin it I use Mr.Hobby Color Thinner 400 (turqoise colored bottle). I think this works very well as a primer. It sticks and it can be smoothed with sand paper.

Alberto
Nice work so far, watching! I also use aqueous black surfacer. I thin it 50% with Tamiya's X20A, spray it with a 0.4 mm needle at 15-17 psi. It works a treat.

Swedish markings, I'm in on this project!

Skyhiker
Thanks for the info on the surfacer. I'm looking for alternatives to using heavy chemicals, and hopefully this will be an answer.

S M
Welcome, mates! 😄 @Skyhiker I just tried and it seems you can thin aqueous surfacer with water. I didn't paint anything with it yet.

Jan Peters
Nice progress, love the what if Swedish markings

Thomas Kolb
I am all eyes! Very cool indeed! I was initially quite baffled with the Swedish markings, the "what-if" went over my head.

S M
Model is now ready!

Jan Peters
And it turned out great 👍🏻

Robert Podkoński
Looks fabulous! What will land on your bench next? A He162 perhaps? 😉

Kesa Tiho
I built a similar model once of the He-162A1 and but just 1:48. Hope you has as much fun as i did

Thomas Kolb
This turned out lovely. The metal effect on the pulse jet housing is amazing, care to explain how you did that?

S M
Thanks, mates! @podkon I have atleast 4 He 162-based ideas left currently. @Mimoid I primed it with black aqueous surfacer that I polished, then airbrushed Vallejo's acrylic metal paints, then clear varnish and lastly Tamiya's Weathering master powders.

J35J
Great work! 👍🏻

Guy Rump
Lovely build, congrats! 👍

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Very nice work make! 👍
