WOW, some mighty nice progress.  

[FullArmor]

Those leds are neat👍

And those small details in cockpit... i could never replicate with my shaky hands and poor eyesight😁

Getring the pilot in place with some work

Almost there.

Cleaning up one of the exhausts

And work on one off the wing pylons with the harm.

N ice progress and liking the idea of having the pilot onboard. 

[mark31]

Just a bit off dry fitting

So far so good

Italeri has done a good job.

Looks like a nice kit, way better than the older offering.

Making nice progress - the fit looks spot of as well.

yes indeed way better

the revell kit is more than 30 years old but whas a good kit.

only big problem whas the inakes now we have full lengt and also the slats and flaps are seperated so no need for the hunt for the paragon or flightpath set

Thanks Peter

I must say im impresed with the tooling italeri have done with this kit.

So far a bit off filler and no major fit problems just a bit off dry fit and sanding left and right.

[Peterpools]

NIce progress mark - going to be awesome when finished and all lit up.

[mark31]

Major step forward.

It starts to look like a tornado.

[Martinnfb]

It is exciting to follow your progress Mark. Step by step, this is a great build.

[mark31]

Working on the base.

First time i have tryd to work with asphalt from ammo works good but iff you going to do it make the paste thinner before you are going to work with it.

Interesting approach, in order to replicate the asphalt surface, I am usually using black sand paper. 

[DocRob]

Impressive work all around Mark. I really like the low altitude passing over tarmac with pilots in and lights on.

Cheers Rob

[PanzerWomble]

She's gonna be one large impressive Tonka when done . 😀

 

Could I offer a thought?, I found a while ago that putting subjects at an angle to the base often focused the attention more on them than the background and made for more a dynamic scenario , rather than having them square to it . Again just a thought .
