Radders 1,865 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I REALLY want one of these.... Looking forward to seeing this come together! Link to post Share on other sites
Tnarg 1,626 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 That one with Peruvian Tigers would look nice too. I always wondered about this kit and how it goes together. Thanks for letting us watch. Tnarg Link to post Share on other sites
blackbetty 5,004 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 got these decals, but i want an exciting loadout Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Clunkmeister Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I've been salivating over this kit on ebay. I've wondered how it goes together, and depending how this turns out, I might spring for one as well. Such an iconic aircraft, why there's no mainstream IM kit for it is beyond me.

Breaker 807 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I really want to do one of these, it'll be very impressive when it's finished. I've just finished a Su-25, if you want any of the Russian weps I didn't use, let me know. Link to post Share on other sites

blackbetty 5,004 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 we will see how it goes, the pit is very basic and will need complete scratching. thanx breaker, i sent you a PM Link to post Share on other sites

blackbetty 5,004 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) thanx all, we will see if my abilities can pull this one off i started with cutting out the vac canopy. there are two supplied, one with faint frame structure, one completely void of a structure. with this the location of the pit cutout can be located. measure five times, cut once!!! the front fuselage is a tube, so you have to insert first the nosecone, then the pit and then the front wheel well (or maybe first the well). front geardoors are molded closed, so these have to be cut out (doors are supplied seperately - very nice). its not easy to place the pit- as work saving it is to have no seam to clean up on the front fuselage halves, shoehorning the scratched pit in from the back will be a challenge Edited December 9, 2016 by blackbetty MARU5137, ShotMagnet, Uilleann and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
blackbetty 5,004 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) upon further investigation the pit walls can be attached to the wheelwell and the assembly fits like a glove into the fuselage. as mentioned the pit is very basic (as you see), the walls are tapered, in reality they are vertical. this has to be modified, but i think the resin part can be used as a base Edited November 25, 2016 by blackbetty ShotMagnet, sharkmouth, MARU5137 and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
blackbetty 5,004 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 i will use some kind of spacer to the nose cone, this is all fixed together with double sided tape for dryfitting the dimensions are correct with the spacer: i will see if the bulkhead drawings of the 4+ book will help me constructing the intake....
