Fuji T-1

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
While being on holidays last week I came across this kit in the local hobby store.
I was very happy to get it, but disappointment appeared when I looked at it more closely back home - Hasegawa kit with raised panel lines! 😮
So, I decided to give it a quick go, no rescribing included.

Taking a (back) seat! 😉

Agreed; Have fun with it regardless of panel lines!

Hi Łukasz! I had this kit, but I changed it when the Platz one came out. I'm sure this Hasegawa one will have a magnificent finish in your hands.
Nice cockpit 👍

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
Thx, I believe Platz is way better, but after bringing it 9000kms back home, I decided to stop hunting for Platz, it's a very rare sight!

Michael Kohl
I'm in.

As I

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
Welcome mates!
Of course I wouldn't be myself if I haven't started adding some handmade details.
I try to restrict it to cockpit only so far 😄
I plan to start priming next.

Those details look good, Łukasz 👍
Now it looks like a Fuji T-1.

Wow, a model of an aircraft I haven't heard of! Will it be red and white like the photo?

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
So it would seem 😉

Djordje Nikolic
Love it and that camo will be interesting. Every time when I hear Fuji I think film cameras hah

Cool! Glossy red-and-white is my nemesis, so I will take notes.

Nicolas
I'm watching as well.

Welcome to my little white and red project.
Tomorrow I'm off for Bytom Scale Modelling Festival, but I hope to spray something on Sunday.

Juergen Klinglhuber
checking this one out,...interesting

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
Herzlich wilkommen JK 👍
I managed to spray some pink this evening, enjoy 🙂

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
The plan was to highlight the raised panel lines with a pencil and wash the recessed ones with dark gray marker and then to cover everything in white until they're slightly visible.
I have the feeling my cunning plan worked so far.

Cuajete
I also think it works... Or so it seems to me 👍

Thomas Kolb
Clever trick with the pencil, I have a set of AK acrylic pencils, and I will definitely try them.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
Started decalling and well the decals' fit is poor if not worse- see the pics.
Luckily Signal Red marker by AK is almost the same shade of red. And the orange will be corrected using AK orange marker too.

Sweet

Thomas Kolb
This is coming along quite nicely! Great save on the decal misalignment issue with the AK paints.

Cuajete
I agree with Thomas 👍

Lost_Erik
Looking good!

Adam Gudynowski
Nice!

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
Completed. Not very happy with the raised panel lines and the thick decals, but here it is.
Will add some daylight pics tomorrow.

Robert Podkoński
Congrats, Łukasz! Looks really good.

Thomas Kolb
I honestly don't think you should feel unhappy with it - I think it turned out really attractive, even if it made you struggle a bit.

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
Thank you gents, enjoy the sunny pics taken today 🙂
Well, it might look quite good, but I still feel a bit disappointed, I might have wanted something more Platz-like 😉

Sergej I
Excellently built Sabre knock-off 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Don't be disappointed - decals and panel lines are out of your playground. You did a good job with this kit 👍

Rui S
Beautiful pair 👍

Cuajete
I agree with Thomas. You can be proud. The model looks good and is very eye-catching. I really like how it turned out. If I hadn't swapped this one for the Platz one, I couldn't have done it better.
I especially like pic 22. Good job, Łukasz 👍
Congrats!

Łukasz Gliński Forfatter
Thanks a lot mates (also for not writing "meh, you should've rescribed it" 😛)

Adam Gudynowski
Very nice!

Nicolas
Looks great.

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍
