1August 24, 2021And it begins!
2August 24, 2021Crisply molded parts
3August 24, 2021This bag looks interesting. I like the tiny screws, spring in the back and, of course, that handy screwdriver!
4August 25, 2021Priming the motor before painting it silver
5August 26, 2021Engine brush painted silver and titanium silver after the prior priming step. One coat of Pledge to protect the paint. And look at the detail and quality of this tool. No sanding required except to rub out the leftover sprue. Ahhhhh the exquisite joy of working with a modern tool.
6August 26, 2021Bottom part of the motor brush painted aluminum and coated in two thinned coats of Matt Varnish to protect the paint and smooth the paint job.
7August 26, 2021Cylinder head covers superglued on and quickly positioned before they dried. One coat of Pledge for protection.
8August 26, 2021I translate the colors listed in the manual (in this case, Tamiya) to their Vallejo equivalent or whatever replacement color I'll use. I'm a Vallejo guy. Love the way their acrylics work.
9August 26, 2021Stretching the throttle cables to straighten them out from their corkscrewed packaging
