ericg Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi guys, Here are the pictures of the completed model. I had a great time building this and it was something different that also allowed me to try some different techniques. I thoroughly recommend this kit to anyone wanting a change of pace with a relatively easy and quick build that will stand out in the cabinet. Total build time was 1.5 months, with most of that time spent polishing! As always, I added and modified some things as I just can't seem to handle Out of the Box.... Modifications and additions to the kit: RB Productions seatbelts Airscale decals. Scratchbuilt the instrument panel (to allow the placement of the airscale decals) Added a bar over the back of the seat to replicate the seatbelt rail Nav lights on both rear stabilizers Formation lights on both stabilizers Opened the canopy beefed up the undercarriage and added brake lines Added trim tabs to the rudders. Enjoy! Nick32, shadowmare, thierry laurent and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 I ended up putting it in my jets cabinet as it is the only cabinet where I can display it on its rotating base due to its size. Whitey, Alain Gadbois, red baron and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 wow, a really weird looking beauty, very nice build, thanks for sharing. Never realized how this craft was "sitting" on its gears, but now after having a look at your pictures, it's looking really akward, in a good sence that is to say..

Urs Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Ahh, what an exotic model who have chosen to built.Be sure thats definetly an eye-catcher on any display. That pan cake is 1/32, wow? Nicely built. Just to have an idea of its size. Is that the 1/32 Me262 standing besides it? Edited March 2, 2014 by Urs ericg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
