I don't always remember the measure thrice, cut once rule myself. Carl Expand I don’t either, Carl. Case in point: on the starboard side, notice the extra line of Milliput trailing the lower edge of the big panel? Yep, I drilled to the next panel line back and showed my true schlemiel. 2
TJTX Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 The GT nose does really make a difference. Just looks "right" compared to the kits. 3

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 19, 2021 Author Administrators Posted January 19, 2021 One thing guys, Trumpeter’s attention to detail,.... isn’t. The vents below the refueling probe are just depressions on the Trumpy Kit. Drill out Theron d one and install a pipe, and openthe vent on the other one. . Go over the entire aircraft and compare to pictures. Much is missing or incorrectly depicted on the kit. A bit of work now gives huge rewards later. 5 1
Landlubber Mike Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Wow, perfect fit on the nose there Ernie, great job! 3
Martinnfb Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Very impressive work Ernie. Another build that's going to show me who's my uncle 3

TJTX Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I assume your talking about the circular hole below the probe. Also, a very interesting observation. The refueling door is depressed. Is that its normal position or is that a result of sitting outside for years on display? 3

I’m certain it’s less advanced as the G, but who knows for sure? But,.. the search continues. 2

Expand Tony, that’s the only picture I’ve ever seen of a depressed refueling door. I’m sure it’s just not quite closed, because if you notice, both the refueling probe for the drogue and the recessed door for the flying boom receptacle are slightly open. And yes, if you look at the kit plastic, that hole is represented on the kit as a depressed circular area, much like an ejector pin mark. 3

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 20, 2021 Author Administrators Posted January 20, 2021 I Yes, it looks like there ARE drastic differences between the two. Apparently, the F rear panel was a virtual duplicate of the front because it was used as a trainer. But,... the EF-105F wasset up as an ECM bird so the rear pit should be closer to that of the G? F on top, G on the bottom in color Hmmmmmmm 6
