Airfix DH Heron in 1/72 was the first kit that I ever built a long time ago. Time to do it again.
|
| I'll try to build it out of the box in the Shell air markings in the kit. But it is hard to fix the rivets that disappear while sanding so I redid them all. |
But I ran in to trouble with the canopy. It didn't fit at all. The framing on the canopy is wrong so I glued it in place sanded off the frames and masked for the new windows. I then filled the gap between the fuselage and the canopy with Magic Sculp putty. When I had fixed the gap, I brushed on putty on the canopy and sanded it down to the same thickness as the masking tape. Then I just had to remove the tape check out the result. A few repairs were needed but the final result turned out better than I hoped. |
