Resin parts.

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

Hi all, I am using resin with photoetch parts for the first time, normaly I build OOB, but now I am hooked on the ejection seat and cockpit set detail, it’s amazing. Any tips or pointers in the right direction will help in working with these parts.

By the way it’s Aires seats for the F-14A tomcat 1/48 scale M.B Mk GRU 7A, colour shemes for these seats will also be of great help, as I have seen many different schemes by modelers.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Swanny will do.

Fine Scale Modeller has ‘tip’ cards that cover a bit about 'em…

I’ve not yet done resin, aftermarket add-ons but what I’ve read over and over… is…

TEST FIT YOUR ASSEMBLY PRIOR to painting!

Many times there’s fit problems. Get it to fit, then do the detail painting… IN THAT ORDER…

Thanx Trexx, any help will do, fit then paint, it’s rather a pity as this could be a rather great forum for novice resin builders though, looking at them and wondering where to start, I might as well stare into space, same result.

Firefox,

Good luck with your project. It’d be swell if you’d report how it’s going.

Myself… I’m here to learn and avoid pit-falls… This site is gold! …PLUS I’ve got a major-general stack of questions and have not yet begun to lay it on these folks here… (and I’m not a begginer!)

Hi Swanny

After almost a year I have finally placed the order for your DVD’s.

I had a slight layoff from building, now I am back on track.

Once again thanks
