Emilio Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Actually you can have the engine panels open with a full load: and open radome: Jari The lower one is exactly what I plan on doing, only with the low-drag Mark 82s Emil Edited February 18, 2017 by Emilio F`s are my favs and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The lower one is exactly what I plan on doing, only with the low-drag Mark 82s Emil The ones in the pic are actually Mk-36 Destructors, Mk-82s configured as mines, note the markings on the bombs, the white band around the body and the white stripes near the tail. The Destructor had an influence fuze added so it could be used as a mine. Jari mpk and Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jari Ok, always good to have an expert I continued working on the front office and the seats, and started with the air intakes aswell, which fit rather good. Making them smooth and seamless won`t be too hard. Emil Lothar, Jan_G, Vandy 1 VX 4 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Engine bay doors are ALWAYS open before take off on Intruders and Prowlers. Great project by the way - if you want some correct front wheels, check out my Shapeways shop. They are a a good addition to AMS's excellent main wheels. http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=57040&page=14&do=findComment&comment=796181 mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read yesterday that they had the engine bay doors open prior take off, to make final checks. What exactly is wrong wth the AMS front wheels?

Starfighter Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks Emil! The AMS front wheels are a (slightly modified) copy of the kit wheels so they have the same shape and dimension issues (simplified wheel hub & nut detail, wheel rim slightly too small in diameter). mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilio Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks you Marcel and Peter Thanks Emil! The AMS front wheels are a (slightly modified) copy of the kit wheels so they have the same shape and dimension issues (simplified wheel hub & nut detail, wheel rim slightly too small in diameter). I will take a look at the corrected front wheels. Emil mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilio Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I managed to make some progress, I nearly finished the cockpit: The HUD lense was made out of iridescent foil, which gives it that cool holographic effect. I also started working on the engines, they are painted up and close to completion. Please ignore the imperfections on both ends, because I will open the central engine panel, only the middle part will be visible later on.
