Yes, you saw it correct. I am going to try and build an Academy 1/48 Raptor in one day, minus a couple of things.
Here is the situation. I went to work yesterday and found out that I have maxed out on vacation time that I am allowed to bank up and anything further I would earn would simply be discarded. Sounds like throwing money away to me so I decided to take the day off today, February 17th, to get below that threshold. What to do with myself on an unscheduled day off I ask, build a model all day long.
So, I am going to get started in a few moments and start building. Here are the exceptions:
1. I don't plan on getting to the intricate paint pattern (paint takes more than a day to dry for masking) and thus the decals. I am hoping to get a base coat of paint on by the time the day is over though.
2. Because of the overall paint issue, weapons and landing gear and maybe the metal nozzles probably wont be on the plane but will be already to put on when the paint is done.
I plan to build this OOB with one exception, I have also the Wolfpack engine nozzles with Cross Delta metal plates.
Updates will be posted throughout the day with some pictures as well.
This should be fun, even if I don't make it to the end.
Here are photos of the beginning:
