En fait, je suis surtout un maquettiste nostalgique qui prend beaucoup de plaisir à retrouver ces madeleines de Proust après y avoir longtemps résisté. Très bien vu cher Sonny Tuckson 🤠 Mais la photo de John Belushi dans 1941 correspondait mieux au côté aéronautique.

Oui, car c'est dans ce monde que j'ai débuté ma carrière, au milieu des F-16 à Beauvechain 🙂 (si tu as du temps, ou envie, tu peux me retrouver sur FB). Dans quel coin vis-tu ?

Je suis dans le Sud de la France. J'ai grandi dans l'axe d'atterrissage de la base D'Istres. J'ai donc essayé de me rapprocher des Mirages que je voyais passer mais je ne suis malheureusement pas allé jusqu'au bout du processus de recrutement pilote. C'est donc sur des hélices civiles qus je me suis rabattu. Les Têtes Brûlées m'ont aussi beaucoup marqué dans mon enfance 🙂
Je ne suis pas sur Facebook, Scalemates est mon seul réseau social avec LinkedIn. Sinon, toujours dans l'aéronautique? Et trouves-tu assez de temps pour le maquettisme?

Thanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.
25 July, 11:25
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
You're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.

Nice, Nice 👍👍, lalways wanted to see a vacform build, Do you have to make up other parts to add on ??
Thanks for upload 😃👍
27 July, 19:59
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
Thanks Mr D for your comments.
There will certainly be scratch build involved, mainly regarding the details as it looks for now. Otherwise I will raid my spare part stash first in order to save time and frustration.
If you are intrested in vac kits you can also have a look at my first vac kit:

Thanks 👍👍 great, will do , l have an intest...as l enjoy making parts, lve had to do it few times, when parts lost or broken or details missed of kit...even canopy once 🤣.
Will check out the XP-67
28 July, 17:00
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
@Mr D - yes you will need some good scissors as a start😅, for the fine tuning of the parts I normally use saw razor blades and sanding paper of variuos grits. Regarding glue I use "normal" Tamyia Extra Thin, the vacu kit plastic is often quite soft and melts easily.
30 July, 19:02
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
@Skyhiker - Happy to hear that your following with great intrest. Usually the building pace goes down during the sommer period as I have been reminded that we have a garden that also need some TLC…😂
Nevertheless, yes there is planning and ordning of parts going on behind the scenes. Cockpit need to be done, rescribing the full kit, alignment of wheels as the mold was totally off-set. Drill out all machine guns for after market parts etc.
The main work will be to prepare the plane for NMF look also including some aluminum dope areas. Will try AK's metal paints this time. Stay tuned!

That windshield is terrible - what's your plan for it?
And most importantly - are you going to build Lady Agnes? 🙂
30 July, 14:27
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Hi mates. Nice to have your interest and you on board. Thanks Zbynek. So far it took much more effort than I expected. Lets see how it continues.
@Mr D: childhood memories. I suppose you build it in scale 1:100? VEB Plasticard?
Lukasz, I bent and glued it und sanded it flush afterwards. As I will use the Authentic Airliner decals for the cockpit windows, they do not need to be transparent.
30 July, 19:16
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Hi Michael 👋,
Yes it was the Veb version, very basic....but l was enjoying building it as fast as l could.... Glue finger prints n all 🤣
Can you sort the cockpit glass ?? Surprised.... Zvezda usually very good.
Thanks for your upload..... I'm big Soviet era fan.
30 July, 20:20
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Good choice Sir, the AA window decals are super cool.
Unfortunately some of their livery decals have some errors.
30 July, 20:24
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Yeah, I was surprised by the fit issue too. On the upside are definitely very fine and consistent engravings which I hope to preserve.
And - by the way - it won't be Lady Agnes¹. I like to represent the plane I flew to Moscow with. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of this particular aircraft and am thus not sure about it's actual registration. The history of some a/c is available to me, so I can rule out some. And I photographed two parked IL-62M too while taxiing which I can rule out too.
With these informations I ruled out registration: SEW, SEC, SEF, SEG, SEY and SEK. So right now I will go for registration DDR-SET.
¹ a word for those not familiar with Lady Agnes. She is obviously an IL-62M too and was flown to Stölln. After being stripped of everything unnecessary she landed on a 900m grasstrip (how on earth did they manage to get a permission for that?!) and is used now as a Cafe there in it's original Interflug livery.
You've never heard of Stölln? It is located in the federal state of Brandenburg, about 40km west of Berlin and is the oldest aviation site on earth and in the history of mankind. No other that Otto Lilienthal tested some of his gliders there.

Oh, a very personal project - watching! Sorry, I digged so deep into my build that I missed yours.
So I'm now in and good luck!
Regarding putty: I'm now a fan of Tamiya light curing putty which hardens quickly with UV light.
If wee meet again I like to hear more background about this trip and can provide other insights 😉

Looking good, really nice shaped Airliner 👍
Do you use the black to find imperfections?? Or is it a pre-shading??
I'm in process of building the Veb Be-6 Soviet flying boat, and may help me to do similar.
Thanks for your uploads... Like anything from Soviet era n russian.

I'm glad to see, that it's not just me, who does all this type of prep work. I've spent far too much time and money, on tools, gizmo's and fabrication of various things, just to try and speed up this process. Yet, I still end up falling back to the back of a #11 knife blade!
I'll hang around for this one mate, mainly to see the outcome of those amazing decals. But also to watch how the trailer goes together?
I helped my son build the Spacecab, way back in the early 2000's. He didn't enjoy it and abandoned his efforts 🙁 No wonder he became a plumber 😛
16 May, 23:58
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Kerry Cox taught Peter Hardy and Peter taught me: "Better remove those lines, you'll always know they're there."
I mostly use the cutting edge of the blade to scrape, I'll try the back sometime.
I assembled the chassis today and it seems perfectly straight. A lot of work remains before I can start on the decals.
17 May, 20:51
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
If you draw the edge, of the back of the blade, it gives you a nice smooth, flat surface. It also doesn't dull your sharp blade? After a while, it becomes second nature. I have found, that those nasty mold lines, show up even more, when paint is applied? Even when I glue two parts together, it's always the back of the knife, that deals with the seam. You should definitely try it, and see if you notice the difference.
17 May, 22:21
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
The doctor is in 😄
I managed some work on the axles Tuesday evening and I had half a day to myself yesterday. So I built the box with a lot of added plastic to get everything squared. I'll be sanding the outside and I don't want the thing to fold.
The mudflaps were unconvincing , so I went to town on them. Your opinions please?
26 May, 07:56
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
I've heard of guys, filling in reefers, with expanding foam?
I've never personally done it, because I like the option of opening doors. Those mudflaps look so much better now, too.
26 May, 19:34
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Mmm, insulation foam in a reefer….
There is/was a load of cyanide in that stuff. Not something I want to emit in my hobby room.
My 2k also contains cyanide, but those vapours are mainly vented outside
27 May, 14:05
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
I have never checked mate, and I've used it for sealing gaps, etc, for decades? However, I've definitely not used it on any models. In fairness though, all my current reefers are from AMT. I love the fact that they use 1 piece plastic, for the sides, base and top. It definitely makes them sturdy. I do have a few Italeri reefers though, and I was thinking about lining them with thin plastic? I don't want to compromise the look, so I thought maybe some 1mm sheet, would work? What do you think mate?
27 May, 20:21
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Lining with 1mm sheet is a possibility, but … see my new picture. On both sides there are two half rods running the whole length of the trailer and the ceiling is littered with protruding ejection marks.
The floor is smooth as the ejection marks are on the underside.
This Revell edition has water slide decals, the Italeri reefer I have has two big stickers for each side. Will be hell to line up, so I'll probably paint something.
27 May, 20:54
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
On large decals, it's best to cut them into 3. It just makes things easier. I honestly wouldn't have a clue what to do with stickers though? That's exactly what I have, on my Smokey and the Bandit 2 trailer.
Which reminds me...
Jerry from Modeltruckin, is retiring. Last orders are being taken upto end of July. Get them decals ordered mate, before you can't get them again!
27 May, 21:26
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
I just took a closer look at your pictures. I see those rails now. I'm guessing that they were a feature, to stop pallets from ramming up tight to the side, on the 1:1 version? The injection pin marks, I can Dremel away. You've actually got me thinking about digging out one of my reefers now, lol
27 May, 21:34
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
In the real one, there will be a strip with slits to secure the cargo. But those are generally not that high and low. See picture.
28 May, 06:00
![](/profiles/img/49212-838-s.jpg)
Late to the party. (I have been really busy with my wife's garden and my 1:1 car) Following. Making your box square and straight looks like quite the endeavor.
31 May, 04:12
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Dry fitting the door showed a small gap between them. I later added a strip of styrene to the back. Stiffening the doors by accident.
I removed the moulded rear lights, only realising too late that they're hollow. A thin sheet of styrene helped. I also glued a strip to the storage bins. Too much sanding otherwise. Now all trailer parts are ready for painting.
16 June, 18:25
![](/profiles/img/65234-189-s.jpg)
Definitely impressed, Martin. Smart building by improving stability in the beginning of the build. I particularly like the improvements with styrene
17 June, 06:17
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
I wonder if that PE is going to be the bars and locking system, for the back doors?
18 June, 02:24

Primer's on! It took over 4 hours to paint the truck and trailer in my tiny booth.
18 July, 16:19

But the result is a success. Looking forward to see your progress of this big one
19 July, 05:39
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
First colours are here. Tamiya bright red, Tamiya silver and not shown, Tamiya aluminium straight from the can on the reefer itself.
19 July, 13:50
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
For the first time in forever I follow the colour callouts from the instructions, and now my choices are excellent. Makes me wonder…
Enjoy the colours while you can, this thing will be wrapped in decals when she's done.
20 July, 08:31
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
Lol, maybe because it's more true to life?
Although I have to admit, I've crawled under a few trailers, and they were all the same, light rust/brown colour. Even on fleet management, the chassis and underneath, never get washed. I do a lot of work for a global logistics company and their trucks always look clean, but they're not. My brother works for a national retailer, driving big rigs. I asked him when he washes the underside of his trailer? His answer was priceless, but unfortunately, unprintable 😉
20 July, 13:50
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
I actually had red oxide primer in mind for the red parts, but didn't at the last moment!
I also never wash the underside of my car. And I've worked in port, so I can imagine some colourful language.
Done with airbrushing for now. Only some detail painting to do.
And after curing, it's decals time!
20 July, 14:11
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
Mate, please do as Goldman suggested on your other thread, and take pictures of these?
It's definitely worth a try? I can't bear to hear the screams, if the decals spray doesn't work.
We need you to be successful on this, to raise the bar, and give the rest of us, something to reach for?
God speed, my friend, and good luck 👍
