Great progress, Spiros @fiveten The seams are definitely gone after the sanding.
Thanks my friend @johnb!
Good progress, Spiros @fiveten Although filling and grinding is not the nicest part of modelling to my opinion.
Thanks my friend @johnb! Indeed filling and sanding can be a tedious process, especially if it takes several loops.
(I am embarrassed to say, but) Another (hopefully final) filling loop...
Hopefully not an endless loop, Spiros @fiveten She definitely seems to get smoother after each round.
Thanks my friend @johnb! Fingers crossed 🙂
Just caught up with your build here, Spiros. Looks like a good kit except for that irritating seam.
Looks great, Spiros (@fiveten). I just got done with the fill, sand, and repeat process on my B-17, so I understand your frustration. The tail of my B-17 took 5 cycles. But it will all be worth it in the end. :o) Even with all the stuff sticking out, helicopters look really cool.
Thanks my friends @eb801 and @gblair! It is an excellent kit, it is only that too many things attach here and there, combined with yours truly less than perfect approach 🙂
There is no perfect approach to building something that has a bunch of stuff hanging off, Spiros (@fiveten). You improvise and adapt to the situation. It does make sanding and smoothing the filler in some places a real challenge.
Indeed it does, my friend @gblair! Also, the more you look the more you find discrepancies 🙂
Never look too hard, Spiros (@fiveten). It always seems like I check everything 3 or 4 times and everything is perfect. Then I take a picture to post on iModeler and I see all kinds of problems. I think the problems deliberately hide.
