Pfuf Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi thx the front landing gear can be set in ready for the catpult and in just parked so I do like the ready to get shoot of the flightdeck still this one I wil make it just parked. This I started the build instructions say make the engines but I whant to start the legs first the steel reinforcement is super best of both worlds here the photo O can even at some alu foil on the leg.

Pfuf Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 The cockpit have on the side wall a lining of cloth no it isn't the same color as the steel so I have made it a little diffrend by adding some blue now maybe it looks to muche when the cockpit closes it will tone down fast in the dark and afther some weathering. Need to leave that for a day so I can use the tape to spray the black control surfage and hope to use the stamp to get easy lots of sharp detail. have fun maybe more today on the landing gear. If in any change you think a special detail needs attention just show me I will be gratefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Legends Productions of Korea currently have the most accurate SJU-17 NACES seats available in 1/32 scale. You'll need to add the canopy piercers though.

TomcatFanatic123 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I was hoping somebody would have an in-progress build going that I could follow before "Santa" delivers my two on Friday and I start them . Looking great so far, and I'm following this one with interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Great start . I have just got my "tomcat" and I´m very intrested in how this build will turn out. Keep working ,man. Good pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 the main U/C bays are MUCH better than the tamiya ones I've spent too much time adding detail the main wheel wells on the tamiya kits to want to do that again , to be accurate , you need to add a LOt of additional detail into the wheel wells , but they are a much better starting point that the Tamiya model The main legs again look a little simplified , but perfectly usable , just the addition of some hydralic lines, and plates from the Eduard set is all you need .. I can't wait for mine - keeps the pics coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
