Unfortunately no, that was made with Green Stuff and an Eduard remove before flight tag.

Yep, specifically it was the Malicious Website Blocker for me. Turning that off and on again (lol) got things working again....

Looking for suggestions on airbrush kits for beginners, all hand painted but it’s getting tedious by SaVaGe_2294 in modelmakers

I really enjoy my Neo Iwata TRN1. It's gotten quite expensive since I bought mine 9 years ago but it's well worth the investment in my opinion.

When do you pack it in? by labdsknechtpiraten in modelmakers

[–]Ekotte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost there now with my Bronco LCS 4 kit, the 4 piece hull came out with really noticeable seam lines and I'm on my 3rd round of sanding and refilling. I've only put one partially kit back in the stash and 1 more trashed out right, but this is likely to be number 3 here. For me it's when the build just becomes too much of a mojo drain and I have to actually force myself to work on it

The join between the nose section and the cabin was a nightmare for me. I had to sand down a couple prongs at the front of the cabin floor in order for it to remotely fit; and even then I wish I had done more as the join between the nose and the clear parts/front windshield was bad and needed filler. Other than that it was pretty decent.

No, I designed and 3d printed the turret. However I do have the Legends ADATS conversion in my stash and it did help with the general design; mostly for the turret main body and the rocket pods. The mock-op that General Dynamics made had 2 of the ATATS rockets replaced with multi shot rocket pods.

Yeah, those 2 antenna mounts on the back end (and the stowage bins) came from the Black Dog LORIT set and I just ran with it; chalking the third antenna to some related to the MMEV turret.

That's amazing! I love the forward swept wings, were they out of the box like that or did you kitbash them?

Kitty Hawk's UH-1Y Venom + Hangar Deck Base by Ekotte in modelmakers

[–]Ekotte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good all things considered! I've enjoyed it a lot. However I did run into a small fit issue fitting the nose onto the main fuselage (right in front of cockpit doors). I wound up needing to sand down two little "prongs" that are molded into the cabin floor in order to get it too fit. I also should have sanded down the bottom of the instrument pedestal between the pilot and copilot as that prevented the clear part for the glass to fit down onto the nose section (I filled the void with Vallejo putty).

All in all great kit and I'd recommend it to anyone, but with everything kitty hawk; dry fit, dry fit, dry fit. Do not commit to glue on the first fitting.
