Hey all-

Here’s the IAF specific gear for bay 5. Just set in place for now- still needs electrical wire connections 

 

…that aft-most rack- I can see a little ghost of the Rivet decal film at this angle-

cheers

Phenomenal detail Peter, I would probably inhaled half of it just by accident while holding my breath, not loose anything

 

[Pete Fleischmann]

Thanks all for the encouragement!

For the longest time I believed that the shrink ray is just a sci-fi phenomenon, well now,,,,, I'm second guessing myself.

Absolutely incredible detail work - just blown away.

 

[GazzaS]

Man...   that is superior weathering in that pit.  Almost needs a vacuum cleaning.

[Pete Fleischmann]

Small update that actually took a while to accomplish-

 

I used a keyhole saw from UMM to carefully cut away the oval-shaped battery container from the aft fuselage. I also drilled out the three holes on the aft turtle deck in preparation for detailing these areas.

more to follow

I only wish my 'final party fits' were that rough. 

[Martinnfb]

Yeah Pete, stop being so rough with this kit ok?  , marvelous detail over and over. 👍

I am switching to a new hobby, perhaps knitting or chess ...
