Derek B Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I cleaned up and primed the intake section, this will get gloss white and have the forward fan section of the engine showing in the middle. Nice work Paul (you work fast). My immediate first impression of your A-4 intake is that it looks very like an Harrier intake! keep on truckin' Paul Derek Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Paul Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Thanks Derek! I'm not really working that fast actually I started on the night of the first, and it really helps that trumpeter brought their "A team" with this kit both in design and detail. The Pit didn't have to be aftermarket, I just wanted to really go to town in there. It is a nice little kit I'm having a lot of fun with it. Fit is great everyplace and only minor corrections have had to be made to make it really accurate It could be built from the box and still look every bit the Skyhawk, the tail just bugged me so I fixed it. And the need to add detail to the landing gear and bays is just me being detailed about it. Definitely a great warm up to the SWS Skyraider.

LSP_Paul Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Well, we weren't really busy with work yesterday, so I spent all day and most of the evening building. I started adding detail to the nose wheel well, not to much as I'll almost never turn the jet upside down to admire the belly, but enough to add interest. I'll be doing the same with the main wheel bays later today as well, and working on the wings. I got the main fuselage components installed and have the fuselage halves joined. a little Mr Surfacer and some light sanding and I'm good to go! The wing assembly is just dry fit and taped right now, I'll be taking it all apart to add detailing and fix the step in the slats that shouldn't be there. More pictures soon when I have more to show!

Can't wait to see ya scooter in paint. Paul Thanks Paul, I don't know if I'm really banging it out so much as it really just falls together with very few flaws. Right now Im adding all the dertails to the fuselage before I get on with the wings and main landing gear areas. I have everything all smoothed out now on the fuselage and it really looks sharp.

LSP_Paul Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nice work so far and going fast. Keep going. Mark Thank you Mark, I worked on it all day today too! I fixed the slat area by cutting it out and raising it up the level of the top wing surface, then filled with Mr Surfacer. It looks cool now! I also added all the ECM / RHAW Antenna's , scoops and pitot tubes I still have LOTS to do, but he bulk of the build is done, now I can concentrate on the details. I'm looking forward to more MIG progress from you too! All the best my friend, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
