416 Sqn
"Lynx" - Canadian Armed Forces |
| The model is based on
Monogram's first issue (kit no. 5811), molded in 1985. The kit came
with decals for an US-ANG and a Canadian version. But Monogram latter
also re-boxed the kit with decals for this 416 Sqn version.
I used SuperScale decals for this model (48-263). |

The kit has
raised panel lines and is fairly good detailed. But the fit is only
average, so I had to use some filler. With extensive sanding, you will
remove all the nice panel lines - so be careful.
With this project, I tried for the first time an alternative method for gap filling: I filled Tamiya putty in the seams, let it cure for a few minutes (2 - 5 min.) and then removed the excessive filler with a Q-Tip soaked with nail polish remover (normal strength!). After two, three whips I had an almost perfect filled seam. |
| Also for the first time, I tried for the metall finish the new ALCLAD II paints. They are great, but also tricky to use: they are very thin, so any imperfection will be highlighted, and they also have some "strange" reactions to other paints ... |  |
I
have more pictures of this kit. Please go

second Page of the Voodoo. |
