Nice work on the re-scribe Ian, is the scribe tool readily available in craft / hobby stores?

Hi Jim yes they are if you look in the forum shop John has them Tamiya scribing tool

 

[Ian M]

I just got mine in the post today, from John naturally. I bought a riveter tool as well. Looking forward to trying them out. (on a scrapper).

The re-scribing you did Ian, was it repair or missing panels?

Nice job on the re-scribe Ian! Its something I love doing about as much as masking canopies ie. I dread it!! Yours looks perfect , i always go off course and end up filling and re-doing it ! tony

The kit has raised panel lines and with the sanding i'm going to have to do decided to re-scribe the lot

Hi Tony i find it quite relaxing ( as long as i'm not doing it all day )

Looking good Ian.I think rescribing definately improves a model.I will be doing the same to my Phantom when I get it.Wife won't let me have it until my birthday!.

 

[Ian M]

!

I was not clear about you re did the whole kit. I thought that you had just added a bit and repaired a few sand off's

That makes it seriously good!!

Nice work Ian. I've got exactly the same gap in my kit at the forward fuselage underside.Filled mine with Squadron green.

 

[flyjoe180]

Coming along nicely there Ian.

 

[Guest]

It is coming along we'll Ian, nice cans and paint work. Scribing looks great too. I had the same gap problem fixed it with filler and a lot of sanding now I know it would have been quicker doing what you have done.

 

[papa 695]

Sorry it's been a while since my last post, but had to decorate the son's bedroom ( the wifes orders ) Intakes on and some Squadron green to hopefully make them seamless

Nice work Ian.Those intakes are a pretty bad fit.We've all had to use filler on them.

 

[Guest]

good save on the intakes,though mine were bad after my own mistake lol

[Ian M]

Looking good Ian.

It looks like I have missed out on a lot of fun going for the Hasegawa kit. The fit was pretty good and I only had to fill a few small sections where the top and bottom fuselage meet.
