All we need now are photos showing the 'office' through all the glass.... Fantastic

Thanks Barry and Phartycr0c. Wished I had a bit more references for the internal rib scratchbuilding though. A lot of it is pure imagination.

Bruce, Which section for page 53?

no words to describe the amount of effort I feel went into this masterpiece.

Blackheart's work is well known in my part of the woods. He always does extra by scratch building interior, structures and putting the kits in a service mode. You can spend minutes looking at all the crooks and crannies. Good to see you here.

Bruce, your observation on the reinforcement panels are duly noted. May just correct that the same time when I do the paint chipping. What do you guys reckon is the most interesting Rhino scheme whic I can get aftermarket decals for?

Reading how much passion you guys have for the Rhino makes me wanna go out and get another kit for a different version....

thanks Michael, I did do the complete build log in a local modelling society homepage. Its located here for those interested cheers CK ps: I just got the aftermarket cockpit set for my 1/32 Av-8B day attack. Hopefully will post the results of the build here in the near future.

Looks like its off to the Verlinden hunting ground for me.....

Pilot to hop in? I was hoping to get a Robin figure like what bigmatt did in his WIP. Ron,thank you for your compliments! What's your preference?

gasp! enuff said

Watching and waiting.....with the man for company! I have to ask this. Where did you get Robin from? Now I can't sleep

Chris, Having completed the GR3, I think this takes the cake and the whole box it comes with! Where did you eventually get the decals? The kit box decal is printed out of register on some of the stencils. You did an absolutely stunning job on the fuselage. Give yourself 2 pats on the back.

Some of the photo angles reminds me of a very shy bird!

Daywalker, The kit is very consistently finished. Nothing to nitpick really except on the part about the wheels. Love it. Any shots of the pit?

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. Barry, Boarding ladder in yellow? Will do. As for the white stencils, it was dotted on with a traditional drafting pen 0.1mm ( Rotring or Faber Castell are the only available brands here. Not sure what's available where you are.) Its pretty much old school drafting pen. Big Matt, posting pics?

I just recalled that the decals are from Fox One. I contributed an article in MalaysiaScaleModelling.com here with a brief build log. Hope its OK to put in the link.

This is the first plane kit I did in large scale. Its Robin Old's plane in Vietnam but I definitely forgot to put in the paint chips though I will add them on at a later date. The cockpit is aftermarket from Blackbox and I can't recall the company that produced the absolutely fine decals. Guess this was the bird that got me hooked on large scale and ended up with a big pile of stash at home. Cheers CK Loo

Matt Wow! A 1:1 cockpit must be real fun and absolute conversation piece. Typhoon, Hope to see your Wild Weasel soon.

Thanks for the compliments. Eagle Driver, PM away. Will be glad to help where I can.

Had a look at the the other forum and had to pick up my jaw from the floor a couple of times and it hurts like hell now! Crazy work there.

Phil, thanks for the pics. It'll come in handy.

Phil, Will check out the other build. You happen to still have the drawings for your scratch built air-brakes? Looks convincing. Any problems making all wheels touching the ground?

Haha. A bit too much excitement and poor forward planning on my end. The only other major problem with the kit that I remember was the non fitting air intake halfs. Took a bit of CA to get that fixed. I think I still have the ladder to put together with the Tiger Meet scheme.....

Very interesting and refreshing to see a 109 in non standard German scheme. The blue looks good on the bird. Makes it look a bit like a Russian plane.
