Another master piece starting to take shape.

Jörg Schäfer
Let's hope so. The conditions are particularly good this time. Not only do I have a Pontos set for this model, I also have an MK 1 set on top. So let's see what I can conjure up from it

David Taylor
Back in.

Jörg Schäfer
Top. 😃

Jan Peters
Jetzt gehts los!
Another two year build Jörg?
Following 👀

Jörg Schäfer
I think so Jan. 😅
Nice that you be there.

Sven Schönyan
Zur Entspannung jetzt was bodenständigeres?

Ich bin auf jeden Fall dabei!

Jörg Schäfer
Schön Sven.
Ja, der Ausflug ins Star Wars Universum war nett, aber ich baue doch am liebsten Schiffchen. 😉
Sehen wir uns auf der EME?

Sven Schönyan
Leider nicht. An dem Wochenende kann ich nicht und ich muss dieses Jahr etwas Urlaub sparen. Ich habe für Hamburg im September gebucht.

Jörg Schäfer
Sehr Schade.
Und Hamburg im September kann ich leider nicht.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Schön zu sehen, das japanisch Bügeleisen ist im Bau. Bin schon gespannt auf das Ergebnis!😳

Tini Hendriks
Ganz neu für mich, schiffe. Gespannt wo's hingeht. Hals & Beinbruch 💪🏼

Jörg Schäfer
Fein, das freut mich euch dabei zu haben.
Glaubt mir, bin auch gespannt wo ich lande. 😄😉

Michael Kohl

Dietmar Bogatzki
Taking a seat 🙂

Jörg Schäfer
I forgot that you came on board, Dietmar. Nice to have you there. 😀

Dietmar Bogatzki
want to see how you build this iconic ship 🙂

Jörg Schäfer
Very nice. 👍

Michael Kohl
Nice workbench. And how on earth do you keep your cutting mat that clean?
Das Modell? Ja das Modell wird halt wieder super. Eh klar! 😉

Jörg Schäfer
Thanks Michael.
That's easy. Before I started building the Mikasa, I rotated it 180 degrees. If you look at the picture with the bow view, you will notice the paint and glue residue in the back corner. 😁

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic seein how you build a nother Masterpiece, Jörg 👍

Jörg Schäfer
And my best thanks again, Dietmar. 😃

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you, and nice to have you on board.

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastisch was du mit dem Rumpf gezaubert hast, Jörg und das in der kurzen Zeit 👍

Tini Hendriks
Looking great! Steady hand! I would think hullred but I had to look up the word "antifouling" 🤔🦐🦞🐙🦑

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you both.
It's unbelievable what was mixed into the antifouling paint back then, Tini. 😲

Jan Peters
Excellent progress, looking forward to seeing more

Jörg Schäfer
Thank you very much, Jan. I'll try to hurry....😅

Sy Bar
Great work so far 🍿

Slight off topic I'm interested in the storage you have behind it. Particularly the one between the brush storage and the three tall draws. My question is de you convert another storage to give the racks for your tray things and if so how/what did you convert? I have the same storage system but have not found anything like that rack and it's a great idea I'd like to use.
Cheers and keep the good work going as it's going to be a great model. 👍

Jörg Schäfer
Hello Sy Bar.
Thank you.
Do you mean this rack?!

hobbyzone.pl/en/modu..niversal-drawer.html

It is very modular and can be adapted to the respective use. I use them to store the organizer drawers for my etched parts.

Sy Bar
Cheers #Jörg keep up good work

Joerg R.
Alter! Hier sieht man erst, welch gigantische Arbeit du jetzt schon wieder investiert hast. Namensvetter, das wird wieder was richtig feines von dir, da bin ich mir zu 100% sicher.
Bin auf jeden Fall wieder dabei und staune und staune.
gruss
Jörg

Jörg Schäfer
Das freut mich, Jörg.
Schön dich an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen. 😄

NLAWScametovisit
Showed up because I heard there was a grinding orgy of chiseling, but now i'm staying for this incredible build!

Jörg Schäfer
😂 Thank you very much, nice to have you there.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Es wächst und gedeiht! Schön mit anzusehen. Der dunkle Anstrich sieht wirklich super aus, gefällt mir ! Weiter so Jörg 👍👍👍

CaptGPF
Jörg - you always have the most interesting, detailed and fascinating builds! I love how you convey your thought process as you build your masterpieces! Definitely watching to see this new masterpiece!

Jörg Schäfer
Danke Hans-Jürgen. 😉
I'm very pleased, CaptGPF, that you like my little construction reports so much. 😁

Dietmar Bogatzki
Awesome weathering Jörg 👍

Jörg Schäfer
Many thanks, Dietmar. 😊

Rui S
Looking Great as always 👍

NLAWScametovisit
This weathering is outstanding! Also, you're giving me severe desk envy for your workshop setup!

Jörg Schäfer
Many thanks to you both.
Yes my workbench turned out really cool, NLAWScametovisit.

Matti Thomaes
Sorry for your los, Jörg, but it's good to see you're getting back to our wonderfull hobby.

David Taylor
Put me down for a couple Alan please.

Alan Henderson
thanks David. I'll let you know when they are ready - hopefully by the end of the year

gorby
Nice work.

Mojo DeVirus
Hey, where did you get this baby? Point me to the right direction please. =)

Spanjaard
having the kit in my stash, i am very interested in this build 🙂 looks good so far. what is your opinion about it?

Siegfried Van den Bosch
Pretty ok so far... good fit and clear instructions. I'll keep you updated.

Siegfried Van den Bosch
Decals applied. They turned out well, but are very thin and fragile.

Spanjaard
looks certainly good with those decals 🙂

Kim Branders
Looking at your model wants me to build this model also 🙂 Nice work

Siegfried Van den Bosch
Bad luck....just messed up a part of the canopy. Cracked while sanding, so I had to be creative with smoke paint.

Spanjaard
maybe you can ask AFV Club for a new one?

Siegfried Van den Bosch
I sent them a message, but they don't seem to have the smoothest customer service 😉

Spanjaard
good luck, you will need that with most customer services nowadays....but certainly worth trying. this beautiful F-5 deserves it 🙂

Augie
Re- the spares service, when I had similar issue, they referred me to the distributor for parts service..

Siegfried Van den Bosch
Fingers crossed...

David H
Having built the saeqah 80 version of this which comes with two sets of canopies , one for the two seat version so that's 3 pieces . I used the second "main" canopy part after doing EXACTLY the same. The canopy snapped in half whilst polishing it . So I don't even have a spare I could send you. How about getting hold of a dirt cheap italeri kit off eBay? Open the canopy , you'll never notice 😉

Ok my mistake just studied the photos, I see it was the screen, still the italeri comment stands .

Spanjaard
are u going to Euro Scale Modeling (Houten) in November? I think I could make a vacuform copy of the cockpit sounds I have the same kit in my stash....

Siegfried Van den Bosch
Thanks in advance for your sympathy.... 😉 The fair in Houtem is on the agenda, but given my busy schedule I will only know at the last minute whether I will be able to go.

Roberto Rocat
A legendary car, great project.

gorby
