discussion Hasegawa 1/48 scooter

[Guest]

I was in the mood for an easy shake 'n bake kit so I started my 1/48 Hasa A-4 E/F.
The detail in this kit out the box is outstanding and I cant see resin AM parts being etter (except for the seat maybe)
I have some PE straps for the seat so it will be out the box build.

Thanx Ian.
I had to fill the nose with lead to stop it tail sitting. The scooter is such a small aerie , allot of the cockpit is not even visable when the fuselage is closed up.

I will need to fill and sand the step ontop of the wing where the slat goes, needs to be level.

Needless to say the first of the 6 slatrails have broken off!

Long tome since posting so here is the latest.
I preshaded and playd a bit with "fading patches" to give a slight weathered uneven look to the paint.

Looking at reference pix I see my grey might ba a bit dark, hoping the matt clearcoat will tone it down a bit.

But don't forget the Tamiya clear acrylic when you get to the shop Theuns.
If your like most people on here you'll forget what you went in for, and come out with something completely different.
