You made this thing in one week to such high standard?????
If during that week you also found the time to sleep, go to the toilet and eat, then I would love to hear how you are organised to pull something like that of
Unempoyment has its benefits! And, I see sleep as a complete waste of time!
Seriously though, here's the run down:
Day 1. I cut the major parts from the sprue and cleaned em up, Painted the intake trunk, assembled, set aside. Then painted the pit and seat.
Day 2. Closed the pit and trunk in the fuse. Got the gearbays into the wings, closed up. While the cement cured, I cut all the fiddly bits from the sprue, cleaned em up and CAed them to sprue "handles", for painting.
Day 3. Cleaned up the seams on fuse, sprayed the white and black. While that dried, I cleaned up the wings, attached to fuse, along with the elevators. Masked off painted areas and spent about an hour in the paint booth, throwin some shiney at it (along with all the fiddly bits). Metallizer dry super fast! Let dry for about ten mins. then sprayed clear gloss, to dry overnight.
Day 4. Decals and another gloss. Attached all the little pieces, built and painted the missiles, and built the ladder.
Day 5. Decaled missiles, painted ladder and attached....Done!!!
This kit only took about 20 hours at the most.
