Can you.....

...build a good model in less than 24 hours?8)

 

[Njaco]

Are you talking a day or 24 hours combined?

 

[Lucky13]

In 24 hours straight Sir, 12.00 to 12.00 or whatever...

 

[Airframes]

Now you've started something!
Ah! Wasn't there a pic in one of the threads a couple of months back, where some guys built a Spit on their way to one of the Oz expos?
I suppose it could be done, to an extent, if it wasn't too complex, and straight OOB.
I aint going to try though - with my hands, it can sometimes take that long just to open the bl**dy box!

 

[Lucky13]

Straight OOB old bean, you're allowed different decals though....



Started what now?

 

[imalko]

With painting and all? I'm not sure its possible. How much time is needed for paint to dry anyway?

 

[Lucky13]

I think that it'd be possible with acrylics, not so sure about the enamels though....

 

[Thorlifter]

It's completely possible. I used to do it all the time as a teenager.

Go to hobby store, get kit, build kit, nothing to do for the rest of the day.

[Catch22]

I think you could do it with say a Corsair or a Hellcat or some other solid colour plane and with acrylic paints.

 

[Lucky13]

You don't think that it'd be possible with a Luftwaffe or any other machine, with more than one colour in the camouflage?

 

[Airframes]

Probably could with a Hobby Boss 1/72nd scale kit, there're only about 15 parts!

 

[Stitch]

There's no way I could do it; if I finish a kit inside of 24 MONTHS, then I'm working fast! My problem is I'm too much of a perfectionist; if I don't like something, I strip the paint off and start all over again (well, at least on that one piece). Also, I like to give a MINIMUM of 24 hours between coats of enamel paint; there's definitely a difference between "dry" and "cured" paint. Ideally, you should let enamels cure for about a week before giving it a second coat, masking it, and/or applying decals.

You'd be pushing it. Dry times can really screw things up.

Dry times can really screw things up.

I learn't that one the hard way

 

[Njaco]

Lets see......

Single engine because anything more would add time.

Monoplane - same reason.

Jet engine because less parts and almost zero paint scheme.

How about a 1/72 Sabre jet or MiG 15?

 

[Lucky13]

To small for me Chris....I'd do the F-86, but in 1/48!

 

[Airframes]

I've got it! And you could even do it in 1/32nd scale!

 

[Lucky13]

Then I'll need a place, like a hangar to store her in old chap....

 

[Lucky13]

Btw, is the F-86F-30 the only Sabre at the moment from Academy?






I never learn to keep my blasted trap shut!
