Here's a bit of motivation for your upcoming Typhoon build, this is a picture from my build a few years ago, and I have enjoyed every minute of it, but Ron, R.T.F.M, ( read the f**cking manual), the fitting of the parts needs to be very precise, one mistake and further in the build it will come back to haunt you, so dry fit everything! I will be using the same display stand for the Hellcat, thanks for the comment, Frank 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 I haven't been able to do a lot, but I have installed the rockets under the wings and I have made a stand under the aircraft, I wanted to put the electric wire through the pipe that supports the airplane, but that wasn't possible, so I had to place it on the outside, I will try to get another tube so I can rub the wire through, but that's all for later, here are some pics,...... I was going to mount the bellytank as well, but that wasn't possible, then the model would top over, the place of the stand is now so balanced that it doesn't tip over. Just about the same angle as on the box.... That's it for now, now I can start weathering the plane, (not to much), but some oil streaks and exhaust streaks, more to follow Frank 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This is a great build, I'm really lovin this, Frank, in order to cover you wires , do you think a small chunk of automotive 'loom' would work, it is split lengthwise, and would be duck soup to cover up your wires on the stand without a lot of fuss, it comes in all sizes and is black....... https://www.belmetric.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1163&cPath=19_165&msclkid=d947871761c616ef5685da268233c59b&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP Shopping CAN - Catch All&utm_term=4584345019145611&utm_content=Catch All&zenid=h75594t7vlondm8jij4n0fmdj6 This stuff.......................... just a thought................. might work in a pinch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
