blackbetty Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Staying with my current fascination with russian cold war jets i started another build, the trumpy flogger B: i will throw some aftermarket at this and hope to also correct the landinggear (or at least make it look right): i have the Zacto intake splitters, Florins corrected nose, Aires pit and wheelwells, resin wheels. some of it here (i will save the HAD seats for another build) i will look like this (fair use): Edited January 16, 2017 by blackbetty reconspit, mpk and Marcel111 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) i have also painted the aires pit, a real gem (its too dark in the pics) and fit the aires exhaust (some grinding required) more to come Edited January 16, 2017 by blackbetty Zero77, The1971Show, mpk and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Would be interesting to know your comments about the Zacto intakes. It looks so easy when Zactoman shows how to install them; but he is also able to punch 600 tiny holes into each intake splitter - each and every correct aligned of course... I am a mere mortal. I have this kit in the stash too, with the Aires goodies, Armory wheels, brass pitots and static dischargers, Profimodeller oxygen bottles, Eduard canopy masks. Not to forget the Begemot decals. Watching you! Regards - dutik mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 blackbetty​, While my main modeling interest is Allied aircraft with props, I'm always willing to pull up my chair and follow a excellent Jet build. and your build certainly fits the bill. Will be following along with great interest. Joel mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 thanx guys for all the interest! hope i can do it justice... as for the intakes: i didnt have a lot of problems modifying them, the zacto parts fit is good if you follow the instructions. as for the little pads that have to be attached to the fuselage, you just have to take your time. with the provided template its sure doable, even by hamfisted me. if i manage to get the little plastc strips straight, we will see..

Joel_W Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Blackbetty, I would never have guessed that you added all those pads individually. Nicely done, as they all look dead on striaght and level. Joel blackbetty and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 thanx! the aires wheelwells arrived and i painted them up yesterday night and then closed up the front fuselage, some "persuasion" required the cockpit colour looks really funky and too dark in the pics, its better in reality thanx for watching Karl LSP_Paul, Zero77, mpk and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenshb Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Great work on these detail sets that will really add to the model. Would you mind taking a photo comparing the kit nose to the resin nose to highlight the differences? One thing that I have noticed on my 1:48 Trumpeter Flogger is that the wings have no anhedral. The wing gloves have a slight anhedral, but the wings are flat. From pics, it appears that the wings should have anhedral as well. I am assuming that Trumpeter used the same 3D surfaces when they shrank the 1:32 kit to 1:48... Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Karl, That's some persuasion with that clamp. I'm sure you won that battle hands down. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
