blackbetty Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 i dont like open compartments that much, so i opted for closing the avionic bays. the panels apperently werent designed to be glued shut, you have to first scrape off part of the interior detail. i heard its the same with the crusader kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 i wont bother you with my attempts on using the kit intake trunk (twopart sinkholemonster), after i was done with it i ordered the zacto intake. i should have done this in the fiirst place: it extends all the way back (not ending in a wall after half of the way like the kit part), it even comes with a resin engine face (what the kit lacks alltogether), it also doesnt have to be painted, because it comes in white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) i also ordered the aires wheeltubs because of trumpeters "wells" c´mon this is 32nd scale, this looks like 72nd :angry: Edited October 15, 2014 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 the attachment for the front probes have to be filled, as well as the hole where the plastic AOA sensor mounts at the side. i will scratch the sensor later the steps on the side arent meant to be installed shut, so you have to thin and fit them inside their holes. gunport has to be blended into the fuse side correcting the squashed fuselage end is next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Looking good so far! You're using many of the same bits that I have for the SLUF I started in the Carrier GB but never finished. It has been calling to me of late so maybe watching yours will spur me on to having another go. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 dave, i checked out your build before i started to get ideas. hope you finish it. following thierrys excellent tweak list, i worked more on the fuselage. looking at pics of the rear section of it, it really seems to squashed and too wide, so i made some wedge shaped cuts in front of the rearmost part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
