IAR 80 #42

 

 

2 days later 

Such a perfect(ionist) kit and the decal is not fitting the dashboard 🙁 

The sprue gates are really thick 

So, I wonder what all these parts were for? Can you see any of these colourful cylinders? 

Another very optimistic approach - going to substitute both parts (PE planned inside) with 0,3 steel wire 

Mast made of 0.3mm tube (credits to Albion Alloys) 

As there are lots of canopies provided, I used one of them as a mask 😄 

The cowling's fit is poor, it requires a lot of trimming and restoring all the rivets afterwards 🙁 

RLM04 is there 

 

It turned out to be 0,3mm riveting 

this side looks good enough to me 

this side will need some correction imho 

I think I picked a color that is too bright when compared to the Sky Grey 

Few hours later - toned down and shaded 

Dark green 

 

RLM70 

Spraying completed 

Yellow - before (RLM04 by Gunze) 

Yellow - after (Golden Yellow by Hataka + 20% of black grey and orange mix) 

 

 

Will it conform? 

It did, almost
