Landships II

Have you seen mine? I'm already on to the rigging.

I also got mine from someone in Canada, perhaps the same supplier?

Anyways, it needs A LOT of CAREFUL cutting, Although I didn't cut away anything important, some parts (Like the stabilizer fins and the piece that holds the basket lines are very tricky to remove) the fins although they are box like rectangles at the end on the second vacuform sheet, need be flat pieces when removed. (It took me three days to figure that out) once you have all the pieces cut out, On a modeling article I read on vacuforms (Which it was my first too) it says you should outline the parts with perm marker (However this may and indeed does in some areas on mine show through on the finished product after painting. therefore a good primer is a must. To assemble it, I spent about three days with masking tape, super glue and miliput. You'll notice miliput comes in handy because there will surely be holes that will need filling around the seams. super glue binds it all but until that dries, the masking tape holds everything together over night. th fins will be the biggest challenge, because depending on how the kit was received (Mine came in a plastic bag wrapped in brown paper, so it was subject to light bending on these pieces which made the fins especially nerve racking, as a firm hold on the body was difficult to attain. To give the fins a little better hold, I left the masking tape on underneath the fins, and painted over it, its not noticeable at all, unless you look under it, but it helps the glue do its job. after it is all done, painting is a breeze. Spray Primer, dry, spray paint in either brown black grey or green (Most books of the war describe them as yellow in appearance especially Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger) a few Alermark aircraft decals, spray varnish to take away the shine of the paint, and its done. The rigging is VERY tedious process (I'm sure there is a better way to do this, but I individually place each string. (If anybody knows a better way to rig it let me know) :)
