Here you go, my build for this year MGB.



Cockpit already done, now in sanding+puttying session for fuselage & wings assembly.

This kit is a little gem.Easy to assemble & not more than 20 sub-assembly involved. Fitting is so-so with raised panel lines.








With it's unfinished sibling, the 1/72 Tutor/Tebuan.



Tebuan cockpit, very simple, I had to add some tamiya tapes as seat belt.





Anybody here got extra 1/72 RMAF Tebuan decal?I will kickstart the Tebuan build if I manage to get one.

That all for now!

wahhh no wonder u're so busy yesterday ehhhh.......playing with your 'birds' :lol:

Some tips

The tebuan needs a instrument shroud ......if not will look not too nice (can use foil on plastic sheet..........nose gear must trim down........sits too high..........but if you do it wheel up then it looks ok

For the macchi......the nose gear got some adjustment too.........if not mistake it is cast in no weight configration.........

Looks good so far

Musang...

So.. are you gonna rescrib the Macchi? and what wrong with the hobbycraft Tebuan decal? it is very good if I recall.. and which version you wanna do, large square or small square, FM serial or M serial.. let me go back to check If I can find any ....

Mr B- Thanks for the tips.I also notice the Macchi's nose gear is molded in zero weight configuration.Must do some surgery.Will post the update later.

MasterTUDM-

Nop, I dont rescribe the bird.It's was too small.

The Tebuan is not hobbycraft kit.It's the Kitech kit which has same quality just like Kuman's preferred Zhengzefu brand,haha. The decal is totally rubbish.

I dont mind which version, large square or small square, FM serial or M serial. I just want to build the bird.If you got complete extra decals for this bird, Im really appreciated that! :D

By the way, what type of green this Tebuan wear eh?do you got the Gunze code for this bird?

since my name are being mentioned....

i used Olive Darb + some dark green to it.. looks ok i suppose..

maybe some other might have a better suggestions.. :D

kuman

Both kits are coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing them completed.

Musang. for my Macchi.. i use Tamiya Dark Green and Dark Yellow..
Tebuan, I use Dark Green, But I think Aidy and Mr B suggest OD... check with them also lah..

Hey Kuman... complete your Tebuan for MGB09 also lah.. sikit je lagi...

Master, many thanks. Will consult Aidy later. Check your mail! :] Many thanks ya!

Mr B

some updates. Im running out of time since merdeka day is just around the corner ni..huhu

TEBUAN update

already finished the body works. Now waiting to be primed & into the paint shop.
This Kitech RM15 kit need various modification & trimming in order to make it look like a real Tebuan as per mr B,Thomas & Aidy advises.Also thanks to Thomas for supplying the decal set.









Oh ya, I also cut all landing gears 3mm to make it more handsome in the ground.

MB-339 UPDATE

Major painting session was finished. This is my 1st airbrushed kit & my first doing the camo scheme, so some repairs due to overspray need to be done. Next will be the decaling session.

Looking very nice indeed Mr Pulut.....................plenty of time left to complete right ..........

P.S very clean and nice looking workspace.........
