LSP_Ray Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 That is beautiful work! The cockpit looks amazing. I will have to look into the Humbrol Metal Cote as that really is a nice finish. Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airscale Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 wow! every little thing so far is perfect - the cockpit is exquisite, quite simply jaw dropping.. I also love the pipework in the air brake area - looks super-real - I must get a selection of stuff like that - what is it solder & ali tube? love every update Ben Peter Starfighter and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Phwoarrr ... amazing work Ben. The cockpit is terrific, and that scratch work on the aft fuselage is amazing. Great stuff. Jim Starfighter and A-10LOADER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Sorry for not checking in sooner!!! I forgot my password and before you know it time flies and you're 4-5 pages from where I left off...... and I'm glad I'm back, this is superb. That cockpit is brilliant, but hold on, that intake painting. Genius. Hats off to you. Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I don`t know what to say... this is "some personal attention to every detail". Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Your kind comments are highly appreciated, thank you very much! Peter, the pipings are a combination of ali tubes, soldering wire in different thicknesses and copper tubes indeed. In the meantime, I have replaced the NACA ducts below the air intakes and started painting the engine Birdcage bays.

andromeda673 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 dear god this is build is so awesome! keep it up, and it's a joy watching this one come together. A-10LOADER and Starfighter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 The Birdcage bay can herewith be considered 'done'! I think there is enough stuff inside for what will remain visible - the 3 LOX tanks at the front end of the bay are there as well. Whatcha think? Sorry for the crappy pics, it's rather hard to take pictures of this area with a phone... Just to get an idea what will remain visible: ... not much, but I think it was worth the pain to add some details to the interior.

allthumbs Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Ben, The equipment platform and fuselage interior look terrific. From my perspective, you have provided more-than-enough detail for this area, especially given its shadowy location on the model. But even the occasional "prying eye" will come away impressed by the adornments. The paint work is really well done, including the very realistic chipping effect, which is not easy to achieve over white surfaces. Can't wait to see more!

Starfighter Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Cheers gentlemen, I highly appreciate your comments! I've made some progress during the weekend. The wings have been glued on, the lower rudder fairing has been modified (pic will follow) and the engine bay doors have been glued in. What a huge joy to close hatches which are intended to remain open... Anthony in NZ, blackbetty, Rdrunner and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
