Amazing work, Jack. And what an amazing kit this was back in its day!

 

Kev

Thanks Kev.  With some TLC and a little grinding she is coming along pretty well. jack

 

This kit really qualifies for this build?

 

Looking good!

Thanks Shaka Hi ....Well its old .....jack

 

 

Jack, have a question, the guns, are they too far back ? The ammo is feeding into the spring assembly, not the receiver. Not knocking your build buddy, just looks odd.....Harv

Hey Harv, well the guns are where Revell wanted them since I am building this out of the box. We  know from experience that a lot of stuff on models looks odd but most change it. Since I'm  ODD, I'm going to leave it ....this time...jack

 

Jack,

 

I wasn't so keen on Jurassic Park but really love your Jurassic Plastic buddy !

 

that Engine looks quite exquisite  and your Workmanship is SUPERB. 

 

you are far too humble about your achievements and work.... you should shout about it like others do! :yahoo:

 

pleasing build to follow.

 

Keep Jack going .. :thumbsup:  :speak_cool:

 

Thanks MARU. I'm just a little old glue sniffer building em like I like em....fortunately you and some others enjoy looking after me.

I appreciate you and the others..jack

Jack, no doubt they are in the "right" place, just don't understand them getting that wrong and have such excellent detail in other spots. Just have to shake my head. But a great job non the less........Harv

Harv, Maybe Revell had my problem of finding gun bay photos for a Raiden.

          I would bet Martinb has a stackof them...he comes up with more

          photos then anyone I know..Just have to get his attention

          I'm going to use the lack of photos as the problem

DBRrRXi.jpgzapUFwG.jpgIt really is a pretty good kit but I know that the wing/fuselage is going to take some CA

on the right rear.  Something is not quite square so it will need some pressure to stay.

Added the cowl flaps to the mount ring, then engine and lastly the exhaust. I have the

bottom cowl glued to the nose ring so I can remove the top cowl and see the

"HIGHLY DETAILED ENGINE"........this is the FUN part for me......QTA0rMu.jpg7vG5Z4F.jpgvYjvmBF.jpg

Coming along great!

Alain

Thanks Alain...Hoping it continues

 

The good old days of OOB builds. Great looking Jack, Jack!

Thanks Bill...I have collected quite a few Classic Plastic kits from my childhood and plan to relax

and build them OOB. I have a few conversion builds set aside for when I need CRAZINESS in my life.

   Thank You Hubert,

 

    It is one of those Mysteries of the Orient!!..

   It's why I had mentioned "Not to Laugh" .

   And also the advantage of building OOB.

   I'm ready to keep things calm in the hobby room

   I have some conversion sets to keep the excitement

   (Blood Pressure) up when I want to push a limit on occasion

   Models have come along way in 55 years

   I'm collecting those I grew up with and building for

  pure pleasure with what's in the box.  Although the new

  Airfix Victor has been added to my acquire list.

:frantic:

No problem MARU.....just making a style change in what and how  I'm building,  It's all good.. :piliot:  :piliot:  :piliot: 

 

Nice engine Jack. :)

 

Thank You John, the pipes were a surprisingly good fit.  The old kit is building up rather well so far.

Haven't made alot of progress in the last week. As I was grinding thru

to improve the wing fit I started to think about paint-job.  After some

thought....MAN! that HURTS!!...I decided that even thou I may have to

"draw" the tail lettering, I was doing the captured bird at ClarkAB.

So last Friday evening I masked and sprayed the rudder White.

Sat while masking the blue stripe, my work co-hort, calls to tell me the

water pipe burst in the museum attic over the storage area.

So here is a weeks progress.  Managed 3 days work and now have to

wait for the Air Force Report on the asbestos on Tuesday. Since this is

3rd time in 5 years a pipe broke in our HARSH Louisiana WINTER, they

 talking about possible long term fix. Thank to the guys who bought some kits

in short notice.QISd0SC.jpgdNvL3l0.jpg
