Good evening guys, there is a saying here in Greece that says ''Good things take some time to fulfill''. I dont know how my build is going to be at the end but for sure it takes some time to ''fulfill''
Well here is some update. These are the back portions of the flaps components. I tried and succeed to pass a 0.3mm brass rod through the small holes of the actuators.
On the next pic you can where these are doing to be placed.
And the outcome...
The back unmovable portion of the canopy was placed as well as the gun sight, the life boat and the windshield.
After that i spayed decanted Tamiya white primer. I chose this primer because i wanted to take advantage of the white color for the later on ''G'' symbols and with portion of the national insignia.
The primer also revealed some minor imperfections, i dealt with them and sprayed again the primer.
After that i glued the dive flaps at the closed position. I also placed the actuators.
It was the time for the ''G'' symbol, serials and national insignia masks. I did not use the Montex masks for the ''G'' symbol as they were a bit thick and the ones for the wings wrong. So i made some of my own from Tamiya tape.
Thats all for the time being lads, next comes the paint, hope you like it. Have a nice week.
