Nathan DempseyWelcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.
27 July, 15:43
DutchNathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch

Nathan DempseyWelcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Nathan DempseyWorking on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.

DutchLooking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.
13 August, 16:03
Nathan DempseyThanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁

Nathan DempseyWelcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41
DutchNathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.
16 August, 17:47
Nathan DempseyIn this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.
17 August, 17:20
DutchNathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

Nathan DempseyWell my printer is dead, but my dad has a similar one so I'm going to try… Wish me luck.
19 August, 17:35
Nathan DempseyThe second color has been applied. Slow going here as my workbench time has been lacking.
25 August, 14:13
Nathan DempseyThanks Dutch! Today I masked off the areas for the gloss black. The tan colored areas are quite small, but they're everywhere. Tamiya tape stock is going up!!
26 August, 17:32
Nathan DempseyWell my gloss black was solidified, so flat black will have to do. Hopefully it will all even out when the clear is applied
28 August, 00:20
Nathan DempseyThanks Jennifer and Villiers!
Work continues on masking these tiny sections.
30 August, 16:13
Nathan DempseyWell that was a whole bunch of masking for some very tiny pixels… I also added a coat of Future to help with the panel lining effort to come.

Nathan DempseyToday has seen the underside color selected and applied (Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue) along with masking/painting the cowl colors using Steel & Red.
4 September, 13:58
Nathan DempseyI'm using both AK & Mig panel wash. For the bottom I used Grey-Blue and for the top I haven't decided whether I'll use a dark brown or black wash. Of course for the black areas I'll use the Stone Grey wash which I think is Mig.

Nathan DempseyThanks LC & Guy!
More masking for the Ukrainian flag on the tail today.
6 September, 01:59
Nathan DempseyThanks Robert!
Chrome Yellow has been applied for the first half of the Ukrainian flag on the tail.
6 September, 14:53
Nathan DempseyThe Ukrainian flag on the tail has been completed and the landing gear legs have been painted and attached.
7 September, 23:01
Nathan DempseyThanks Dutch! Today I completed painting the canopy framing and the wheels. Also my clear gloss arrived in the mail today, so I'll be able to apply that to the entire aircraft. After that I only need to paint the anti-glare panel on the upper cowl. Nearing the finish line.
9 September, 20:31
DutchOoh-la-la! Well done Nathan. Definitely a special addition to the display case.

Chris ParsonsOh ya!
Built a couple of Broplan vac kits, a real challenge but great for the feeling of overcoming a challenge and creative accomplishment
11 July, 23:27
Thomas KolbOMG, what a challenge! 🙂 Those panel lines look quite uneven, will you try to rescribe them or just take them for what they are? In any way, I am super curious how these sheets of plastic can be turned into a model, so I will watch with interest!
12 July, 02:31
DuperScaleWelcome mates, the panellines are aweful but the material is so thin, i'm scarred that i cut right trough it when i try to rescribe them.
12 July, 06:24
NicolasFollowing. Got my first vacu kit this weekend. I hope I can learn something here.
16 July, 14:48
Chris ParsonsHi DuperScale, I built a couple of Broplan vac ATR kits, converting one 72 500 to a 42 300. A few pics of the work in my "albums" if you're interested in the kind of model you can achieve from a Broplan kit with a bit of work…sweat and tears, foul language, alcohol and time….
16 July, 23:24
TreehuggerDuperScale, how about scribing into a layer of primer paint?
This way, scribing should be a lot easier afaik, scribing into the primer layer of paing, and not plastic.
This guy on youtube did this, on regular plastic models though.
20 August, 05:21
TreehuggerAs for the clear parts, I wonder if it could be done this way
1) Cut out a square/rectangle shape, removing the oval form from windows. The larger the hole the better, to create some extra space around the old window shape. Enough space to work with putty later on.
2) Glue in a flat thin strip of transparent styrene on inside of model.
3) Glue in a square/rectangle shape transparent styrene, outside the model, laminated with the existing strip of transparent styrene on inside, so double layered.
If keeping the new window parts larger than the old window shape it should be easier to use some putty after adding masking tape that have the shape of the old windows. The larger these new outer square/rectangle window shapes are, the easier it is to add putty to create a smooth surface, then hopefully the center part is clear enough, to mask off the final shape of the old window shape, before painting.
Afaik a common issue using Mikro Kristal Klear is that you can't sand the clear part afterwards, because the clear part is like rubber iirc. You can iirc easily remove this clear part though, just poke/pull it out. Unsure if there would be any residue left after removing the rubber like liquid clear stuff after it dries.
20 August, 05:25
TreehuggerAnother thing one could do with clear parts an idea:
1) Glue in a long strip of transparent styrene on inside of plane.
2) Add some kind of epoxy or something that can be sanded, without the epoxy damaging the underlying transparent styrene.
3) Idea is to use the liquid stuff to fill in the perfectly shaped holes for the windows, then sand the liquid stuff flush after it dries.
What won't work imo, is doing multiple rounds of adding liquids to create some goo that goes transparent. I think if you sand this stuff multiple times adding more liquid stuff, you get a flawed result I think. I tried something like that with gloss varnish, trying to build up a solid clear shape. Did not work as expected.
20 August, 05:35
TreehuggerIn this thread, and in photo #13, the guy apparently put tape outside, and poured clear resin on the inside to fill the window holes. Unsure if such resin will react and maybe eat up or warp any thin parts ala vacuum kits. I guess this can be tested with some scrap plastic if having some piece left over.

Łukasz GlińskiThe UV transparent resin is usually sandable (to some degree), maybe that might help?
Similarly to Treehugger I'd reinforce it with a transparent styrene from the inside of the fuselage anyway.
Or you might leave the windows open and fill them with Kristal Klear after painting - this is what I did on my Jetstream, Avanti & Yak-40. But if you want to seal it with gloss varnish, remember to keep very thin layers (guess how I learned it 🙂).

DuperScaleHi, thanks for the input mates. I'm quite happy with the kristal clear on the small windows and i think i do it like Lukasz said. After everything is done i do the windows as the last step.
The windscreen window could work but i think i used little to much of the kristal clear.

”paper PE” in place. Some more touch-up and it will look decent.

J35JInitial test fitting started. Will require more sanding and putty that expected for such a new kit.
13 July, 11:38
JohnCool subject and nice start 👍 Test fitting is half the "fun" on these limited run kits.
15 July, 03:40
J35JThanks John, test fitting can be quite rewarding for the rest of the build if you take your time and have some patience.
