titan Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well the fuselage is now completely the right shape. Most of the rear is now sculpted bonbo putty. Just needs a little finishing and then scribing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 The wing is also corrected. Again, haven't started scribing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Here's the rear. I've also started on the flaps and slats but they aren't presentable yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Vertical fin is nearly complete. Still need to do some work on the fin cap and smooth out the fit. That other thing is the beginning of what I hope will end up as a seamless intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Canopy and windscreen are nearly ready too. I'll be vacuforming those using a female mold. Still have to finish the PE fret too. Other stuff as it comes. Classes are still eating most of my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But first of all I have to finish my IAI Lavi in 1/32, this will take a while cheers Bekim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland Model Resins Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Looking good there Titan! I bet you will have fun vacforming the canopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 This is great! Lathes are among my new favorite things. Here are some landing gear componants. These are just the basic struts with no detail added yet. Sorry the pic is a bit fuzzy. How do you do good close-ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
