Kaireckstadt Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Thank you all for your feedback and sorry for the late reply. I’ve been at the 41st celebration of my Highschool exam (41st because of the Covid-restrictions last year) in my hometown in northern Germany. I will continue with the build next week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted Saturday at 08:14 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 08:14 PM Today I managed to paint and assemble the engines. Only painting of the compressor wheel and inner parts of the turbines necessary. I used AK Extreme Metal, Alclad II and Tamiya Weatherine Sets to achieve the results. This is how the original looks like: And my interpretation: Exhaust tubes: Impossible to remove these ejector-pinmarks. Luckily not visible when assembled. Afterburner-rings: Exhaust-nozzles from the inside: Turbine-wheel and afterburner-ring assembled: Compressor wheel assembled: Exhaust tube assembled: Next step now will be the assembly of the fuselage mid-section. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
