Nice looking parts!
 

Finished!
I enjoyed very much this build even though I was a bit outwitted near the end.
Overall, it was fun to build my favorite Jet in my favorite scheme.
Thank you for all comments, suggestions and advice.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can’t believe your work!
I feel like I want to quit the hobby.

Hello,
I built the HPH a while ago. I hope it helps.

Imagine a Mad Max themed aviation!

Gents,
1. I like the shark mouth suggestion.
2. Bare metal any country.
3. Combat aircraft that participated in  action against the country of manufacturing.
4. Ridiculously armed warbirds.
5. Exaggerated nose art.

The P-47 is my favorite fixed wing bird but it is uglier than the death of a loved one.
The P-38! No words to describe.

Finally back. 
I hope I can finish this monster soon.
Here I am experimenting on darkening the clear parts.
 

 

 

 
 
And here, working on the things that go boom!
 

 

 

 

 

 

I finally got the willingness  to do some work. I don’t think I’ll make it by the deadline but I’ll try.
 
Not done yet but these are the tail sensors. 
 

 
I had to scratch build the T blade dorsal antenna, which was a pain!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Enjoy!
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thank you. I’ll keep trying.

Left hand wheel well done.
 

 

 

Thanks guys!

Right hand wheel well done!
 


0.010 lead wire for some electrical bundles, NOT TWISTED!
I really don’t know why someone started twisting electrical wire bundles on models. In real aircraft, it does not happen. Maybe some experimental but I doubt it. 

 

 

 

 

The dreaded main wheel wells!
I’m not done yet because I got sleepy.
I came to bed and I am wired!
I hate medicine!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

I will gladly send you the decals.
PM your info and I’ll send them to you. You don’t owe anything for them, I won’t use them. Odds are that I will never build another hog.
So many of you guys have scratch my back so anytime I can, I will scratch someone else.

Thanks guys. 
Progress has been slow due to a miserable cold. I tested myself on Monday for COVID and the result was negative.
Today it was the first time in over a week that I touched the kit.

Gents, I won’t be able to make it before the deadline. I guess we will see you in the Works in Progress.

I think is sad that a model of such popular bird has not been produced with better quality. 
I don’t usually criticize Model kits because Nono e is making me buy them and I knew well what I was getting into with this monster.

I was joking about the cheap paints. 
I have used too much of my patience on this kit therefore 
I will use Mr. Color camo over a grey and black primer.

Spot on!

Absolutely! I’m going to have to sell one of my kids kidneys to pay for the paint. This sucker is really big.
A while ago, I build the HK Lanc and I almost went bankrupt because of the paint.
