even without the AM set the thunderjet is a very nice kit i enjoyed building

have a good one

cool build!

i made provisions for the landinggear to be mouted and used the rear pylons from the cam kfir set (where the metal gearstruts also came from) some generic detail to busy up the mlg wells. i am still finding spots all over the thing that have to be sanded

i think its one of those kit that get worse the more work you put into them

have a good one Mike

and scratched a centerline pod using parts of the matra-missile pod. i had a really hard time finding a pic of it i will have to ad atleast some detail to the main wheelwells

still wrestling with this thing. i filled the leading edges with superglue to finally get rid of the seams the parts had then i added all kinds of air intakes on the fuselage, that were either sanded off or missing

3 F-4s

very cool project!

WOW, i really like it!

a propeller never ads to the lines of an aircraft ......

very cool build, Alain!

it one of the most beautiful airframes ever made, imho

yes, it has. its actually a vectorgraphic i found online

while things dried with the umpteenth coat of putty/surfacer/primer i drew the decals

another round of sanding and priming, still lots of little blemishes

in the "Wings of the Malvinas" book there are some pics

i took the wings off again and constructed a crude jig to hold the wings in the right dihedral i used superglue first and then filled the (pretty wide seam) with superthin had to use lots of hot water to straighten the wings i will insert strips of styrene to close the gaps on the bottom and then - you guessed it - putty/sand/putty/sand......

on a lighter note, the Aztec parts from Mexico came in: seat and expal bombs

my fisrt attempt just failed....

normally i love old revell kits, but this thing is a dog. the molds are so worn out that is practically impossible to fit two parts together without modifying them. it also has a strange kind of plastic the car primer i normally use doesnt adhere to very well, even when sanded before application

lots of colourfull liveries for this one, looking forward to it

wow, what a project! you didnt sleep a lot lately, huh? did you find any info on the argentinian learjets that were used in the fallkland war? i only have some pics
