I recommend to use wire for installing of the stuff on the bottom.So you can align everything better and it becomes more...

Now this one, I'm quite proud of. It's one of the most iconic scenes from one of the most popular Tintin albums, Tintin in Tibet. As Tintin struggles to hold on to the rope above, Captain Haddock dangle precariously off a large cliff. This one actually started as a special request from one of the Tintin Facebook pages. I had originally thought about doing my take on the cover, with the footprints in the snow, but was easily convinced this would be better. Strangely enough, I'm actually most proud of the rock face. It wasn't easy to get a jumble of rocks in the right place so that Tintin would both have a boulder to push against, and also allow for the "rope" to dangle down in the right place.
The rope has a little bit of CA glue to help keep it stiff and straight, but it still dangles freely. In the end, it turned out better than I thought it would.

Very nice scene. Good job anytime, Greg.
Congrats!
Recently saw Tintin figures on Aliexpress. I guess they are not 1/72 scale:

Thanks Cuajete! Yeah, those figures are definitely not 1/72 scale. In fact, the Tintin collectors Facebook page was just warning people about being taken in by "fakes from China" during their hunt for Tintin-related treasures. I think for most people, it probably doesn't matter a lot, but there is actually quite a well-established collectors market for "official" Tintin items. I use quotes on the word official, because I'm not quite sure how legit some of them are, but there's a few very well known collections make by more traditional craftsmen techniques that command quite a price. I'm personally not a huge fan of a lot of them because, in my opinion, the quality leaves something to be desired. However, like a lot of things... beautiful nostalgia glasses can cover over a lot of mistakes. 😉

Always glad to see another of your little Tintin gems, in particular a project the author is proud of 👍

Is this your best one yet Greg? Sure feels like it to me. This is a stunner!
3 September, 20:19
![](/profiles/img/26441-134-s.jpg)
Haha! Thanks Martin! I have to say, I'm quite happy with how the poses turned out as well. Getting Tintin to brace himself against the stone was not that easy to do. A lot of unnatural body poses involved that only look right in context.

Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉
27 August, 13:25
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
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
27 August, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/104687-298-s.jpg)
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍
27 August, 15:50
![](/profiles/img/10591-s.jpg)
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
27 August, 15:57
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
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.

27 August, 21:11

It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.
27 August, 21:42
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
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!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
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 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄
The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂
28 August, 10:29
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄
28 August, 13:40

I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.
28 August, 14:19
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
I wish you luck Robert. Your going to need it (and probably a stiff drink or four). 😉
Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄
28 August, 15:14
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄
28 August, 16:08

A French prototype and a Mach 2 kit? Can't miss that... I see I'm late but a seat way back in the gallery must be still available...

Welcome, Łukasz. I've been waiting for you 🙂 I don't think so - not enough space, time, skills, and I am not sure if the kit is still available
Sud-Est S.E. 161 Languedoc (Broplan MS-146, 1:72)
BTW. On the photo you posted, there is the earlier of Monsieur Leduc's creations - model 010.

Fingers crossed for your Mach2 endeavour 👍
30 August, 14:17
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Lucky you! So, perhaps you will assembly the Languedoc...and then we will join your forces, Łukasz? 😉

Not sure, mine has to be Polish marked 😛 If I ever come to assemble it 😄

Thank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

I still don't understand why they haven't released a more updated tool for this model yet.
18 August, 18:04
![](/profiles/img/87527-778-s.jpg)
Thomas, you are a specialist in reminding me the models I started and non finished (yet)! Super inspiring, and a great build to follow for sure!
18 August, 19:43
![](/profiles/img/57594-909-s.jpg)
Dear friends, thank you for your interest. I am a bit curious myself how this model will turn out - I have read some pretty nasty things about it in reviews, but I am not sure it's so bad. It certainly looks very intricately designed, not your usual shake 'n' bake kit for sure.
18 August, 19:49
![](/profiles/img/104352-247-s.jpg)
Thomas, you are doing always the same project what I want to do in the future with the same kits. 😀 I'm always taking a seat and save your work for motivation.

I must say, I am pretty impressed with this kit so far. At first sight it looked like an Amodel kit, but everything is very cleverly designed and all parts fits together beautifully without any problems. The only gripe I have is with the plastic itself - it's very soft and stretchy and definitely does not like to be sanded.
23 August, 15:27
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Great job so far, Thomas 👍
I never bought this kit because I thought it would be difficult to deal with.

![](/profiles/img/57594-909-s.jpg)
Cuajete, I must say, I am pretty impressed with this kit so far. At first sight it looked like an Amodel kit, but everything is very cleverly designed and the parts almost fall together by themselves without any problems. The only gripe I have is with the plastic itself - it's very soft and kind of stretchy, and all sanding needs to be followed by polishing to result in a smooth surface.
24 August, 14:11
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Looking good 👍, the canopy is fine, be ok when all printed up, fits fuselage well, the canopy on the Revell FW-190 l did was horrendous!! Would be good for bathroom privacy glass 🤣.
What glue do you use to fix canopy??
1 September, 20:11
![](/profiles/img/57594-909-s.jpg)
Mr D, Thank you! I used regular Revell styrene cement (the blue one with the needle tip). Just added a string of solvent around the fuselage edges and then placed the canopy on. I normallt use water-based cement for transparencies to avoid fogging, but if you are careful, it's not a problem to use solvent based cement.
2 September, 09:48
![](/profiles/img/57594-909-s.jpg)
Using the precut masks would be so much easier if they actually fit the model... But the flight deck glasshouse parts seem to be designed for a different kit, so I am back to using Tamiya masking tape.

An ambitious project: I am building this TF-104 in Italian colours for a friend. The two-seater starfighter brings a welcome and extremely good-looking change to the currently somewhat corrugated metal-dominated modelling scene! In the cockpit of this beautiful Hasegawa kit you can see Eduard's cockpit interior made from etched parts.
9 August, 07:28
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
I've just realised that it's been a while since my last update here, so here are a few new pictures! This is the current state this morning, but today Gunze H 308 will also be applied over everything as a surface colour for the attractive Italian machine. The build itself, a friendship build for a friend, will be built with the Eduard etched parts out of the box except for the cockpit.
30 August, 10:56
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
The Starfighter in the smart Italian colours is slowly but surely crossing the finish line: now all that remains to be done is to put the finishing touches to the last few areas that still need attention or correction. These include the position lights, which still need to be sealed with Klearfix, and a few traces of dirt and wear on the underside. Hasegawa's F-104 is still a beautiful kit that forms a good basis. However, I did a lot of upgrading on the seats and especially on the inside of the open cockpit canopies, using wire, etched parts and Tamiya masking tape. At least it now looks better than before! 🙂
4 September, 07:56

The Italians squeezed the last drop out of the Starfighter. Beautiful model you build.

I'm also curious about Dübendorf, now the Alptransit tunnel is closed, but It should be a nice trip from southern Alps
23 August 2023, 18:16
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Well, I visited Dübendorf only once, more than a decade ago. Not that the Switzerland changes very quickly, but it was a while ago 😉
Not the biggest one I've been to (don't expect the size of Duxford), but very interesting. As it's in CH, there are many unique airplanes on display, so highly recommended.
The C36 was unfortunately parked the way you couldn't see the interior v.well, so there's a lot of guesswork involved in this build. Kora's kit has the same interior setup for all C36 versions which is not true for sure.

![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Thanks a lot, it's sort of on hold currently, as I prefer sanding the resin kits outdoors 🙂
6 January, 21:25
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
I agree with you, Łukasz 👍
Despite this, it is advisable to use a mask or you can even sand inside a bag if you do not do it outdoors. Resin dust is toxic and can be carcinogenic.
7 January, 20:37
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Consider wet sanding. It ameliorates the dust problem considerably. Not using a dust mask when dry sanding resin isn't the most brilliant idea - being it in- or outside.
7 January, 20:52
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Just to be clear, inside or putside - mask is always there, I just skip cleaning the residue from the modelling room 👍
7 January, 21:33
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
CA glue and some fancy sand from Revell Fix kit. Still, lots of sanding ahead
8 April, 12:00
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Welcome Thomas, great to see you here. I advanced a bit lately and managed to force the canopy into submission (just in case you wondered - there are 2 pieces in the kit)
