mark31 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 So after my Tornado the next on the table. Im redding a book at the moment and that got me realy in for this build. Plan will be a Vietnam dio. The kit is the trumpeter A few books. A lot off after market. Also a verry big thanks to @biggtimfor the great help about the revetment walls. He sent me the file so i can print them at home. So first batch donestill on the build plate. A bit off process before we can build. Very impressie with the detail So i have to bild a part just to look how big it is. With a big jar tamiya paint. I sill need more walls to print but you well get the picture. Mark 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Mark Awesome start and I paid extra admission for a front and center seat; The 3D printed revetment walls look spot on the money. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark31 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 How hard can you go with after market. I also have a pit from Aires. So why dondt try to fit the quinta set on the Aires pit. With a bit off trimmen Now much better floor and other details than the pit from the box. Mark 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Mark Looking mighty good and so glad you tailored the Quinta cockpit set onto the Aires set. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_t Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looks good so far Mark ! I am pulling together the pieces for a Trumpy F-105 myself, but it will be an F-105F with Cutting Edge decals. ResKit has some great looking pieces such as pylons and weapons, replacement tail fin and other stuff. Now, they are doing an "all in one" upgrade which includes the intakes, main wheel bays, nose gear bay, and landing gear. So, I will wait for that before getting started. Watching you build closely ! -Scott 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark31 Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 front part side consoles done. going for the rear tomorow. Mark 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_t Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I like what you are doing with the cockpit Mark. I am going to go a similar route with my F-model build. The F-model looks very similar to the D in the front cockpit and the rear looks close to a D model. I just ordered an Aires G pit and 2 D-model Quinta sets. It will be fun to bash them together. Happy Modeling !!!! Scott 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Mark So glad Reskit is sending you the replacement rudder. Nice work on the Aires gear bay - looks tremendous and the detail is amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark31 Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 (edited) Time to do some work on the agm-78 These are from reskit. And pylons thats it reskit didt a awsome job. Mark Edited June 21 by mark31 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Mark Nice work on the AGM-78 and pylon. I find it amazing how you work with such delicate parts - I just managed to ruin my 3D printed ejection seat rails and learned a very valuable lesson on how to treat parts so extra carefully.
