>>5815735>>5815750Yeah, it is too thick I know, and I cut it like that. I don't have a proper router or bits (and I'm too cheap to get a proper router) so I can't do anything else really. I basically just took my Ryobi cordless saw and cut the wood at an angle on every side. I also got some copper door knobs today which I'm going to drill holes to use as a base for the ship. I'm going to leave it as is for now I think. Going to stain the wood once I finish sanding it down as well.
I only used that thick piece of wood because it was leftover scrap from a previous table I made for my airbrush, was too cheap to buy a newer, thinner piece. I did the routing using a roto-zip tool my Dad has, but he doesn't have any proper router bits that I could use sadly.
I also decided to get this kit. I've read so many good things about it, and checking out the reviews it looks like a 1/350 scale kit in a 1/700 scale. I even checked the instructions in a review and Flyhawk gives specific mixes for the camouflage using Tamiya paints, which is awesome.
Has anyone here built any of Flyhawk's 1/72 tank kits, like their FT-17 or Luchs?
