I finally got around to priming my Hs 129 at the week end, I might not pre-shade this, I have another idea. I'll let you know.




This is a very good kit, nice easy build, well no problems so far :-)

What type of paint scheme are you going to use? Can't wait to see it, you don't see to many of these in model form. Is this from Hasegawa? Wingman out.

Looks great. I'm sure it will be yet another of Mal's masterpieces. One question: Is there some uneveness or glue/plastic residue around the nose cone seam? Perhaps those are lumps that are supposed to be there.

:-) The scheme will be RLM 71/70 over 65 ( ish )
:-) I use Halfords white plastic primer. Halfords is an auto store in the UK, the primer is for cars.

:-) There is a lump, that's supposed to be there, but there is also a small gap, just to the left of it. This is one reason for using primer, this gap didn't show before. There is another, towards the front of the port wing/fuselage join and a small place needing a little attention on the spine.

:-) Yes, which is a re-boxing of the Hasegawa kit, so yes to Wingman too :-) It is a very good kit, get the Revell boxing though, it will be cheaper. I got mine for Christmas

Hi Mal

Looking good... why aren't I surprised! :-)

With the Halfords primer... it's such STINKY stuff! - do you use a spray booth or go out in the garden? I don't have the former... or easy access to the later... which is why I fight shy of using the stuff... I DO feel the force - I just can't stand the SMELL!

All the best

Rowan
