Chris/Germany Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Time to bring this dead thread back to life!!!! Because of having a very busy year with much to less time for modelling I´m far behind my scedule for this beast. Although I managed to do a bit of work on this huge project she´s still on the workbench ( yes...........more than a year now!........set´s down my rollout-rate to the level "beginner"). Because of the mentioned reason I could not manage it to keep this thread updated, but these days at the end of the year, when things slow down a bit, is the perfect time to keep you updated ( and get familiar with the new forum options/ technics. Ok, I´ll give it a try: here are more pics of the front fuselages framework: interior primed and filled with avionics and electronic stuff ( as mentioned earlier in this thread mostly "fictive" because of the lack of references........seems all still "top secret"!) framework of her "shoulders" ( tricky area!) testfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris/Germany Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) Hey, seems to work!........the new "adding picture options" using photobucket is great! Who said you can´t teach new tricks to an old dog? Nightmare "canopy": Because the SMK has the newer version of the IRST sensor, mounted on the right side of the windscreen, I could either use the kits windscreen nor the ZACTOMAN windscree, so I had to scratch one. A frame was build ( like in the real thing), then a vacuformed windscreen was mounted over the frame, then the IRST was scratched. testfit of a dummy, the final canopy was formed with a small vac-machine oh, forgot: scratched instrument panel with LCD´s and lots of tiny electrical stuff Edited December 25, 2010 by Chris/Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris/Germany Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) A bit of work on the landing gears: All legs are highly modified with pipes and ( because in the kits version simply not existent: brakes!) I made a copy of the rubber wheels, mounted on the rims ( don´t like rubber wheels) original gear ( right), modified gear ( left) Details added to the gear bays Edited December 25, 2010 by Chris/Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris/Germany Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) my favourite part on modelling cutaways: wings As usual built from styrene, starting with the stringers, then each rib is individually made and inserted testfit ( essential, has to be made every 2nd or 3rd rib to check correct shape of the closed wing!) primed same thing with horizontal rudder, problem here: the material of the kits parts ( lower and upper half) was much to thick with nearly no " room" between them when mounted together, so I sanded down the lower half as much as I can and srcatched the upper half from 0,2 mm styrene. done Wings and rudders mounted, here she is like she was presented at our local Expo/ model show in the first week of november ( exactly 1 year after starting the project......shame on me) She´s in the paint-booth now, will keep you updated. enjoy Chris "the ripper" P.S: hey, I love the new posting options! ;-) Edited December 25, 2010 by Chris/Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
