Thanks, Appreciate the interest, lm reality new to the hobby about 14 months, finding my way with techniques.
Weathering n panel lines need more learning.
The IAR-80 was decent price from HB and liked the paint scheme...bit different
👍👍

J35J
I'm in!

Mr D
Thanks J35.
Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
They said to paint interior charcoal black like on the FW-190.
But l checked n the Romanian lAR interior was grey/blue.
Engine building next 6 parts deal.
Cheers 😃👍

Miguel Vaquero
Looking good mate. Following!!

Mr D
Good to have you along Miguel, engine n wings next,
A small amount of the wing is seen through bottom of cockpit, the HB instructions didn't mention painting it first!!
But the fit of the model be ok so far.
👍👍

Mr D
Thanks Robert, good to have you on board 👋😀👍

Love the idea of filling with acrylic, never thought about it. Does it hold well though time?

Mr D
Hi, Yes lve used it alot and holds up really well , l find the fillers a bit messy and more trouble than it's worth on small gaps.
You do need to allow overnight drying with it for best sanding results.
😀👍

Doubtingmango
Brilliant! The putty really can create a mess with finely molded details

NLAWScametovisit
This is extremely clever!!!

Mr D
Yes it has a habit of filling in panel lines n bits not necessary!!
This technique is same as using alot of paint to fill a gap or high build primer ect...just becomes part of the paint layer as it acrylic too.
But it's not for big gaps!! As there is a bit of shrinking overnight.
Be onto marking rivets next step after sanding... Then need to make choices on open or closed canopy???

If anyone dare look away from that then every romanian within a 20 km radius will undo all your progress like a bunch of wolves eating a sheep

Landlubber Mike
Looking really good Mr D!

Mr D
Thanks Mike 👋😀👍.
Ive got the canopy on now, HB do nice clear glass, so I'm having a closed cockpit,
So bit of masking to do there next.
Ive got X2 builds on the go at min.
All the best 👍👍

Miguel Vaquero
I got to get myself a chrome pen. The result on those details look awesome

Mr D
Thanks Miguel, the pen needs a good shake prior to use , if it awkward area you can pump some out n use brush...but work fast.
Best to put a clear over next day as it's bit delicate.

I have been tempted lately to purchase this kit 😉 Watching with pleasure and interest!

Jan Peters
Welcome Ben 🙂

Robert, I didn't know it existed until I got it for very little money from a local auction site, bought it together with the type XVII Walther u boat. After reading about it I got intrigued by it, so will build it right away, and cue it with the other subs ready to get a coat of paint 🙂

Jan Peters
Some progress made, fit is very good indeed, an excellent kit to build!

Jan Peters
Ready for paint.
I've added all of the small pieces as well, hope I won't regret it when painting.
Most will be painted by hand, as it is quite small.

Spanjaard
Looking very nice. I have the Peral also from MikroMir, so I am happy to see they build nicely

Jan Peters
Thanks Spanjaard 🙂
It needed just a spot of filler, due to my building ability, the kit fits flawless.

Erik Leijdens
Cool subject Jan! I love the flag technique!

Jan Peters
Thanks Erik 🙂
