There was only one way how to place guns in proper position. Well, close to the proper position. I am not going to worry about the wrong fuselage depth and profile as long as it looks like ..hm.. reasonably digestible ?

OK, I am cooling down now...a little.. I will deal with that book tomorrow.

This is kinda silly , but I like it

Damn! this should go into the Car Thread Tony

Challenger ?

unreal , this is what happened when reference books are written by semi-competent people . in this case SAM publication. Do not buy it ! unless you like hardcore sci-fi

damn I didn't noticed that, Thank you so much for the input Chek. Much appreciate that.

:), thank you Carl, just wait for the swearing part,,,,, undercarriage , wing roots etc. things can still get pretty dark Tonight I spend 2 .5 hours studying drawings ( mostly garbage), photographs and 20 minutes over the plastic. Brutal ratio . For some reason every one of my builds is like this and I don't get guys who are able to say, hey this kit took exactly 25 hours from start to end. Am I weird or what?............ ( rhetorical question / no need to answer ) some preliminary scratches

Here is NG-R also missing the main antenna mast nice detail of the nose cone

No need to be sorry at all, thank you for stopping by . Honestly I spend fair amount of time browsing over schematics, electrical system, radar etc. and wasn't able to figure this one out. It is definitely hollow piece and hides something inside, antenna would be my first guess, but that doesn't go together with the schematic of electrical installation. Thank you Peter, you are way too kind. I finished the backplates on the propellers, then thinned the tips some more. Adjusted the tips of the spinners that were too pointy and coated the whole thing in NATO black, which is actually very dark grey. Because as we all know there is no pure black in the real world. Rivets and placards might follow, not sure yet.

Announcement : The prize for this, or more like past few weeks...... goes .....to .....Carl. So Tamiya's mossie or rather two of them will travel to GTA . Why two, because he has two sons and it seems just right. PS: Carl could you please text me your address Cheers M.

That looks uber realistic Rain, thanks for sharing.

few purely motivational pics.

.., captured US stock ?

Harvey what shade did you use ? Looks like zinc-chromate .

me three

nice one buddy

the paint was definitely metric

Maybe if you sprinkle some water on it , and let it grow to the correct size .

idea

Wow, that looks nice Carl. , you're really going to town with this one. Sweet!

Truly inspiring build, I love the weathering . Welcome to the forum Nat. Cheers Martin
