The Final Push

I am very pleased with the recent progress of my Demon build. I have put some quality time in and I am enthused to report that it is awaiting the final stage of paint. Like I said before, I am disappointed in Emhar’s attempt at this kit. The lack of detail and some bad fitting parts made for some challenges. The openings for the wing roots were not wide enough which required some minor filing. On the plus side, there hasn’t been too much filling. The Airwaves photo-etched parts have added some much needed detail. I hope to be done by the weekend, but we’ll see about that. I am just glad that I finally found some time to make some progress.

Slow and Steady

Sometimes it is difficult to find the motivation to continue through a build. I am finding less and less time to finish my Emhar F3H-2N Demon. With my work schedule, it seems as though this project will never be completed. Lately I have been on twelve and sixteen hour shifts that don’t afford the time needed to build as I wish. I have been spending five minutes here and there with little to show for my efforts.
I am a little disappointed with this kit. This is my first Emhar build and I feel a little cheated. For the price of the kit, I expected more detail and craftsmanship. Luckily I was able to pick up a set of Airwaves photo etched parts on ebay to fill the void. The fuselage went together nicely, although the panel lines didn’t match up along the spine. I sanded them down and rescribed them. The cockpit is finished and ready to install. And that’s about as far as I have been for the past week. It’s frustrating when you want to progress but just can’t seem to find the time to complete the build. I guess that’s life and responsibility.
