Łukasz GlińskiAfter all I decided to paint the rear seatbelts on a decal sheet - they are not so much exposed as the front ones 🙂
As you can see the fuselage/wings fit is not the best I have seen, so I had to call Perfect Plastic Putty & Roket Odorless for the rescue...

Łukasz GlińskiThanks Maciej, you may like this page: samolotypolskie.pl (you can discover more of such oddities on your own 🙂 )
In the meantime I managed to spray and decal the Taifun, enjoy the pics.

Łukasz GlińskiYes, it was something completely different than I expected 😄
I thought these are the struts supporting the horizontal stabilisers, but it's a single part representing some kind of tail balance weight.

Alec KCould it be to represent the rudder control cable and attachment? If so, there should be another one on the other side (based on some quick Googling). PE is probably not the best for representing the cable IMHO.

Andrea Brencoconfirm, it's the rudder control horn and cable and it has to be on both side of the rudder. I agree on the PE inadeguacy to represent cables, pipes and tubes. HTBH

Łukasz GlińskiHope to be helpful? Well, in such case I'm going to skip it I think, as the PE fret has only a single part #25.

Łukasz GlińskiFinal stretch - I only need to paint the PE handles, fill the side windows, add matt UV varnish and remove the masking.

OlivierWhat I like with Scalemates, is that not only can one learn about painting, building, weathering kits but also new forms of language. I just love this place.

Łukasz GlińskiIndeed some native speakers are great sources of nice wording, idioms etc. 🙂
Btw. I announce it finished after two days of waiting for the Kristal Klear to dry 🙂
Hangar is back! But the macro still shows no mercy, the wing/fuselage joint looks like Matchbox kit and now I can see some pimples around the canopy, which I haven't seen beforehand.

OlivierYou know in France we have Macron. It is much worse than macro. So do not worry too much...

Łukasz GlińskiMany thanks for you comments, much appreciated 🙂
Heard him lately, talking to Israeli Police 😄 Was a lot of fun, like a scene from "Allo Allo"

Łukasz GlińskiThanks. I'll try not to burn out too quickly😉 Indeed one of the smaller ones in my collection. Glad to see you like it. 🙂
