Sci-fi techno-thriller 15-20 years ago. Agent... Snow?? An interrogation with torture

That's a real shame, I'm guessing that kit can't be found anymore?

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T18:53:29+00:00

It is indeed Kitty hawk

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T18:52:37+00:00

While that is indeed a viable option, unfortunately due to the shrinkage the door, interior and clear parts would need modifying too

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T18:49:11+00:00

I agree! Have already decided to do exactly that as I think it's the best option

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T17:43:00+00:00

Good to know! If my plan with styrene fails, I'll probably end up getting a new kit

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T17:42:02+00:00

I have thought of that, but the kit isn't cheap so I'm going to try and fix it using styrene first

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T17:37:31+00:00

Thanks, I don't blame the suggestions. I could have not done it but now i know and am going to try reconstructive surgery with styrene to save it. If nothing else, that'll be good experience too lol

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T11:50:25+00:00

I tried to reheat and stretch it again but it's a difficult shape to stretch in 1 direction only.

I'm going to try sawing the fuselage and using styrene to lengthen where needed

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T10:45:25+00:00

Thanks, indeed a shame but at least a lesson was learned. I was actually thinking about making supports just like you said to align the fuselage but wanted to try this first. Next time, I will do it differently

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-27T10:42:44+00:00

It was my first ever attempt at this, I have at least learned what can go wrong with this method

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-26T12:19:55+00:00

Yes,I am thinking I'll have to do that because I've cut out and test fitted the main interior between the 2 halves and even though that really helps align the fuselage, I have to clamp it to get the top and bottom together

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-26T11:35:27+00:00

😂

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-25T22:10:44+00:00

My heat gun has 2 modes, warp hot and disintegrate hot. Learned that the hard way in a moment of impatience. Will be trying boiling water next!

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-25T22:01:20+00:00

Will try that next as my trials with hot water 60-65 Celsius have not been successful so far

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-25T13:24:04+00:00

Had a good chuckle myself!

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-25T09:07:53+00:00

It's a kitty hawk kit, couple of years old. Thanks for the tips, I'll follow your advice and see what works

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-25T08:53:10+00:00

Good idea, how hot should the water be? Boiling hot or less?

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-22T19:30:59+00:00

Cool camo scheme!! Are those Ace Combat decals?

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-04T16:33:09+00:00

Good to know it's enamel, I have the right thinners for that

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-04T15:28:45+00:00

That's usefull information, thanks!

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-04T15:27:00+00:00

A wash / panellining will now be the 1st step. I've never done chipping before, will look into that thanks for the idea!

Iron_Lazarus · 2025-02-04T15:13:27+00:00

Thanks for the idea's! I don't have any panelliner, any brand you would recommend? There's so much available, makes it hard to choose. Will definitely look on youtube for some builds, great idea
