Things have been a bit hectic so I have been slow with the posts, hopefully that might change in the next day or two, here is an update on what has been happening in what little time I have had in the 'dog box '. The modeling/painting/ escape pod. building up a hub to take the cast prop blades. The components unassembled Assembled So now we have a face . The airframe primed, the second series of home vac-ed canopies trialed for size and fit. I tried etching my own cooling vents for the lower cowling, it didn't really work. A process I have yet to really investigate. So I cut some using 20 thou plastic card wrapped around a micro brush and slice with a micro saw blade. Now I have to figure out how to fit them. Fiddling and working out how to fit the vents, trial and error ( lots of error !) The spine fitted and primed and the cockpit intereiors in place. The cooling vents cut into the top cowling. Clear prop. have a good weekend everyone. regards DanJ

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix, Frog and Matchbox kits.

Build as many kits as you like

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
