I wanted to take a picture of this first scene. The engine is maintaining.
First, I had a plan to use Zvezda's kit, but Tamiya's new kit was released 2018, and I took it.
I use a superglue on the joint lines of wing parts front and fuel tank parts. So I didn't need much time than using a glue for plastic model. But be careful not to make a crack when you erase the joint line.
Also I filled needless grooves with superglue and plastic bar pieces.
First I filled at the blue arrow places, second I filled at the red arrow places. (See a picture below.)
All Balkan Crosses were painted by me.
Main landing gears are funny shape, but this is a Tamiya's great point! Everybody can easily make main landing gears at the correct angle!
This time I glued the main landing gears by a rubber adhesive, to make it removable, to take a photo of a flight scene.
Body colours are standard, RLM74, 75, 76. First I airbrushed the whole model in flat black, and put RLM74, 75, 76 on the model carefully by a 0.2mm airbrush. I used two 0.2mm airbrushes at a time. But if we have three or four airbrushes, we can paint more easily.
