Landlubber Mike
Great details gorby! Nicely done!

David Taylor
You like most of us waste our lives fiddling away on our own little projects only you do it better than most.I try and resist building OOB to make it more challenging and interesting,sometimes OOB.LOL

Bohrmann
👀 aking a seat

Spanjaard
not to be missed, no doubt 🙂

Rui S
What a beautiful scratch you're doing in such a small kit. This is Unbelievable 😮 at least for a person with tired eyes like me. Do you use a microscope? 😄

gorby
Rui, these days I can barely find my work bench without my optivisor. 😄 😄
David, I do it because I like the challenge as well...and I can't write symphonies. Scratch-building in 1/72 also gives me a chance to practice swearing. I'm getting quite good at it now. 😳

Thanks all for tagging along. 🙂

Pepe

Kesa Tiho
Glad to see your working on another project. Intrested to see how this will come along, or what it even is.. anyways following with interest 👍

gorby
Thanks Kesa, welcome to the show. 🙂

Łukasz Gliński

Bruno
Thanks Martin👍

Bruno
Thanks George & Goldman👍

gorby
Fantastic work! Originally I thought it was a 1/48 model.

István Szücs
Wonderful!

Ogre-Trombone
Great subject and execution. Congrats!

András Csilléry
Thank you guys! 🙂

Landlubber Mike
Beautiful work on a very cool subject Andras!

Clement
Great work on such a small plane. And I agree with Gorby, it really looks larger than 1/72.

András Csilléry
Thank you Mike and Clement!

Bozo
I also have this one in my stock and I would like to succeed as you. Good job

Łukasz Gliński
Brilliant job 👍
How good is the resin cockpit? Is it worth buying?

Doubtingmango
Watching

Mr D
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.
👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Joining the party!

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

Miguel Vaquero
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???

Kesa Tiho
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.

Alexander Perov
Do not forget that the mast of the antenna passes through the windshield and is very clearly visible. This model may come in handy in my albums

Mr D
Ok thanks Alexander, HB didnt make the Mast installation very clear, the show it just glued on the top, will be very weak!! I've seen one build and it's come away!!
I'm going to use steel rod.
👍👍

Guy Rump
Following with interest! 👍

Mr D
Thanks Guy.... good to have you around 😃👍

Miguel Vaquero
Looking amazing. That camo Is on point 👌👌

Mr D
Thanks Miguel 👍 the office-tak used to mask.
Will try panel lines n wash for first time on this one
😁👍👍

gorby
