blackbetty Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) i have to investigate the position of the seats some more. like this the ejetion seat wouldnt have a rail and firing mechanism. i first thought the pilots seat will have to be moved forward, but thats not the case as far as i can tell. any thoughts? the good thing is i can still take it apart for painting.

Uncarina Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Have you taken a look at this site: http://www.flickriver.com/groups/intruders/pool/interesting/ ? Over 600 Intruder photos including several closeups of -A cockpits. It might be that while both seats have the rails, the pilots would have a larger gap for other equipment. Hope this helps, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Nice work Karl, though they only have one set of Zuni's in stock perhaps they could order you another set http://www.aviationmegastore.com/zuni-5-ffar-rocket-pods-and-warhead-set-a3226-fisher-model--patern-fisher-a3226-weaponry/product/?shopid=LM52a0ce00841b26443e16d1552c&action=prodinfo&parent_id=0&art=104647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) thanx for the link to the pics Tom, i had most of them, but some are new to me. kagemusha - thanx for the link too, but this is without tax and shipping, so i´m still looking at more than 40€, a bit steep work has been crazy, so i didnt have a lot of time, but i redid the pedal assembly and sloped the part where the steering column sits (sorry for the bad pic): Edited January 30, 2014 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepard Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 the center console inclines to the ip, so it is cut out to be moved up: done: skinned with very thin sheet to extend the sides down and change shape for the center panel: Oh boy! that hurts!!! awesome job mate! cheers Shep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) thanx guys! i have closed up the fuselage Edited January 18, 2017 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) the fit at the bottom is less than stellar. maybe its just my fault. the door for the avionics tray ist too short if you want to have it closed, so i inserted a strip of styrene.

blackbetty Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 i also made a start on the wings and intakes. i will fold them up. as for the markings i´m not so sure anymore. eli does a set for vmfa 533, so i may pic another subject. ziggyfoos, Pfuf and Uncarina 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It's great to see your build coming along! And thanks for the heads-up on the fit of the ventral fuselage. Les Venus at Scale Modeling Now had a similar result. Are you pleased with how the cockpit turned out? Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyfoos Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Looks great. Curious why you're considering a change in scheme just because zotz may release a 533? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 glad you like it as for the cockpit . it at least is now structurally closer than before. i´m not a good painter though, so.. its kinda ok since my eyesight isnt what it was. i´m glad more decals will be availible, but i try to do the decals myself to have an exclusive model.

P Stoner Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 She's starting to look good. I did have some gap issues in the same areas. Also if you want to dry fit the wings before glueing, sand down the clips that lock the wings or you only get one shot!!! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
