F`s are my favs Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thx very much! It's shaping up... btw the drying time of the "filler" is veeeery long, because of the thick layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGT500 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Milan, maybe I'm crazy to work on old model kits, but you my friend are "the mad scientist of plastic" F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 10x man! The scientific journey is not even started yet ... i just printed out the templates of the profiles for the fuselage, to begin with the fine "adjustments" of the nacelles and the humpback, and guess what.... Only 1 out of 6 profiles matches so-so, the other 5 profiles will require huuuuge "adjustments". Pics in a sec. ShelbyGT500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandiego Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 My kind of build, lots of cut plastic and templates! Excellent job so far, never would have guessed that kits shapes were so far off. Watching with great interest. Dan F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Thanks! Well Dan, the kit is pretty decent for the prototype version. Whilst I'm building a conversion into F-23A.

F`s are my favs Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 I thickened the lips of the intakes so to have more meat for thinning from the inner side, which has to made them look just a bit "bigger": And it`s not ready yet, but check out some sillhouettes with the IR under the nose.

F`s are my favs Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 It was quite a journey - filling with molten plastic, waiting to dry, sanding and reshaping the upper fuselage. Nevertheless this time i did it justice. The profile tempaltes played a big role for the fine touches. Here is a glimpse from the filling: Then somewhere halfway through...

F`s are my favs Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 And as of today - with nightlight for the sillhouettes to pop up a bit better. It was a great endeavor but i`m just about 99% happy with the result. It now looks completely different from the YF-23 fuselage: Still plenty of small things to do, at least the main part of the conversion is finally complete. Yes!
