Nice straightforward looking kit, john. Im sure it should go together lovely, it is tamiya after all! good luck with the build,cheers tony

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Here we go, i've made a start. The cockpit is all done except for a wash later today. Had fun doing the harnesses out of Tamiya masking tape, just hope they look ok.

Having fun, John

Looking forward to this John , I`ve got the same kit, as Tony said being a Tamiya it should go together nicely

Watching with interest mate , goodluck

A little bit more done today, looks like the lower part of the wing is bent on these Tamiya D-9's because Ricky C's D-9 is the same, so it's not a one off. Anyways, need to fill the wing root joint now then it should be time for paint but it's a long way from finished.

Have fun, John

Still lookin good though. Just hopinh mine isn't bent when i come to make it.

 

[Centurion3RTR]

The best way Allyne is hot water (hot enough for your hands) and straighten it that way, while you're holding it straight put it in cold water so it keeps it that way. And do this before the top part goe's on, i didn't you see lol (oops).

Have fun, John

 

[Ian M]

Looking good so far.

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Just the one photo tonight, this is how far i've got to. The camo has been started and not looking to bad, i just sprayed the lot in gray first just to get something on the plastic. The airbrush is coming out to finish the under side and the mottling and i can't wait lol.

Have fun, John

It's coming on great John. What colours have you used?

 

[Guest]

Looking great John!

Still to open the box on mine.

[Centurion3RTR]

Thanks lads well, my airbrush got some nice caressing and did a great job on the D-9. I love Vallejo, it airbrush's so good. Allyne mate, the first gray is Hycote Bumper & Vinyl Paint "Dark Grey", it doen't show in the photos but it had a slight violet to it so i cheated and left it at that. Vallejo German Cam. Dark Green and Vallejo Pale Greyblue for the undersides and sides.

Have fun, John

Excellent mottle john, first time too!! I havent even started mine yet and youre nearly finished! youll have to do another one!!cheers tony

 

[Guest]

The mottle looks really good, subtle as it should be. I have just had an email confirming mine has been dispatched, I ordered it over the Easter weekend, I knew it would be delayed. Still, should be here for this coming weekend and it looks as though I have some catching up to do.

 

[stona]

That is looking very nice indeed. Tony's right, you're so far ahead of the game you'll have to do another one !

Top dollar John, now't to this mottling lark is there?......I SAID, now't to this...oh! well,

Joking apart, it looks well and as the boy's say your'e nearly there and I have only today starting to hack the bits off from the wings and tail section wot make it turn...I'll have to get the proverbial out!

Keep having fun,

Ron

Nice Paint work there John!

I notice that you have opted to paint it with out the canopy in place, (or did you do the blue tac trick). I wouldn't fancy trying to match that up.
