Rotorhead Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Blackbetty, Don't run out of steam now. I've been watching you and you have been partially responsible for me taking the plunge into the 1/32 Trumpeter A-7E. It just bit me. I couldn't resist. I like how you've worked the tail pipe area. Your 'primed" photo looks clean as a whistle as far as those modifications. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 thanx håkan, glad i could be of some help steve, lets see some pics! the fit of the flaps is pretty bad, they have to be thinned at the trailing edge too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 i used some thin sheet to get the leading edge to fit flush with the wing. its pretty hard to find a decent shot of the real thing from underneath, but i just cant imagine there being a wide gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
