Lee White Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well, I'm still stuck here, but just can't sit still, so I've decided to build something, until I can get back to the Vark. I'm going to do an F3H Demon, but I'll have to use the old Planck-on-frame method, seeing as how my vac rig and I are 2,000 miles apart. So far, it's only taken me about 10 days, and hour at a time, to almost complete the center section. More pics to follow, if Photobucket behaves.

Lee White Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 There are some ugly spots around the back end, but I am confident that a little elbow grease, CA and Aves will whip it into shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Fantastic project Lee! I'd love to scratchbuild something some day, and since I don't have a vacuum former, this is probably the approach I'll take. Looking forward to more! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkmouth Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Looks real nice! Do you have the new Detail & Scale book? The plans now include a scale bar. Regards, Edited March 30, 2014 by sharkmotuh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainer Hoffmann Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Phantastic, Lee! And so quick... And a great subject too. And there is nothing wrong with "the old planck-on-frame method". I'm doing the same with my Viggen and frankly, I like that method a lot. It feels a bit like actually building an aircraft... But I still hope you'll get back to the Vark some time in the future.

Starfighter Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Was thinkig about doing a Demon in the future as well... Great start, Lee - I'll be watching closely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I really like seeing a build come together this way, taking some inspiration and going from there. Would not mind a Demon in 1/32 at all. Have one in 1/48, and can only imagine what a big one would look like in the case. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I just discovered your build--the title caught my attention for sure since I'm finishing my P-61 of that name. I don't see this build method vey often, but you are definitely inspiring me! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
