HI everyone.
Well the build is going nicely. Many donor kits savagely attacked and raped for little bits of plastic. The main assembly is now taking place. The t strips went on nice and square with the jig, so that's one potential headache over with
Yamatto ultra small greebly was cast from the original kit (as it was a shame to ruin a full kit for this micro part).
Next is the final greebly check. Many have been found in the original kits and added or cast where needed. The Titan was a great steer for the small missing "fuel pump" type thing on the top, which is still to be added. The Y itself has been base coated in a custom mix automotive base and is now ready for its final 1200 grit sanding session before progressing onto the final painting.
There are however still a couple of things missing from the mix.
1. is the main red square on the top surface which indicates what was thought to be the Bandai 1/24 shiden detail. I actually have the shiden model here and I cannot find a match anywhere in the kit. If anyone has e a sprue image of this part that would be great as I suppose the one from my kit could have been lost in transit. So I am still searching for this part. Can anyone confirm this as Shiden part please ? as I am thinking this isn't a Shiden part on this kit at all, which poses the question "what is it "
2nd dilemma is a small angular detail stuffed into the right shoulder section right here. I think it could be some kind of tank track but not sure on this.
Lastly is the small detail which may be from the 1/144 727, this is the final greeb before I can hit it with a paint job.
so heres a pic of the Y with my missing red zones (as far as I can tell that's all I need, unless you keen eyes out there can tell me different !!)
Cheers everbody, for your time and knowledge on this model, thanks to you all again.
