Thanks Dennis. I'm a bit surprised it came together as well as it did. I intend to finish it today. 🙂
-
Thanks Carl. When I started this I didn't know for sure I had all the needed parts. Except for that LG/wing piece everything was there surprisingly. 🙂
-
Me too Kevin. I added the "eyes" and the rest of the teeth decals so now it's time for some clear flat over spray. As usual I'll use Alclad clear flat. I hope to be finished or close to it tomorrow some time.
-
The painting, with Xtracolor, is done so now it's time for some decals. Then it'll be over sprayed with clear flat and some exhaust stains, etc.
-
Yes indeed Martin. I see the wheel covers had stars. They aren't included on the decal sheet so I'll have to look through my decal stash to see if I can come up with some. 🙂
-
Thank you Peter. Neither had I but decided to give it a try since it looked like I had enough parts to do it. 🙂
-
I'm glad you have decided to resume posting, etc. I hope all goes well. 🙂
-
I've decided to use the kit decals to do this a/c.
-
Agreed Paul. I wasn't sure how well it would go when I started it but I'm pleased that it has come along okay (so far).🙂
-
Thanks Martin. It's a new "adventure" for sure and one I'm enjoying.
-
Thanks Hubert. Yep, I knew that but decided to let that sleeping dog lie! LOL I can live with it. 🙂
-
Wings and fuselage joined together. Next is filling in those gaps on the roots and fuselage side.
-
Did a little more work on this area. Mo betta I think.
-
Thanks but there's more work to be done........🙄
-
I hope to get it a little better than that Kevin. Right now I know it still has some "issues" but I plan to address those shortly.
-
Yes there are a couple of spots that need additional attention. I'm just glad to have been able to get it this far!
-
I used a piece of a drop tank to make the knuckle cover. Far from perfect but better than nothing.
-
Gluing in some "base" strip plastic that I will spread putty over and sand to shape. I'll see about the "knuckle" piece after that is done.
-
Thanks Martin. I think I have some of that but will need to check. Thanks again.
-
So far it's working out fairly well. If I can find something to use for the right wing LG knuckle cover I think it will do alright. Fingers crossed!
-
I hope you have a happy birthday Peter.
-
Making some nice progress but still a long way to go.
-
Rear fuselage "fix" nearly done. It just needs a little more smoothing out in spots. I think the next move is to put the cockpit back in and then attach the fuselage to the wing/nose assembly. I looked on ebay to see if I could find someone selling the sprues that have the needed parts on them. No luck.
-
That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that and will check it out. Thanks!
-
LOL Thank you Hubert. I'll figure something out.
