BloorwestSiR Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I got a bit of bench time today so I installed the gear starting with the nose. I also put in the M61 Vulcan at the same time. With the lower covers in place. The MLG and doors in place. I'll see how much more I can get down today. There won't be much bench time tomorrow as it's my wife's birthday.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Happy new year everyone! Our basement has been quite cold the past while and combined with family events over the holidays, I haven't had much bench time. I am making slow progress though. I started working on the underwing bits, starting with the pylons and missle rails. It's all a jumble in the pic but I've the inner pylons assembled,the Sidewinder rails cleaned up, the SUU-23 gun pods together and I've started the Sidewinders themselves.

She is indeed on her own legs now. Which makes me feel like I'm actually getting closer to the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 I've done some more work on the gun pods. I've painted them NATO green with the forward section in dark iron. They've also been given a panel wash. Digging through my spares box, I found a complete set of canopies already masked and painted. They're the wrong grey but that should be a quick fix.

Guest Peterpools Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Carl Nice work on the gun pods - they look mighty good. And what a find - masked and painted canopies - geez ... just a quick overcoat and you're home free. Now wouldn't it be grand if instead of the canopies digging through your spare parts box, you found a winning Lotto ticket! Keep 'em comin Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstarr3 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Nice work. The more of these F-4s I see the more I want to try one. Although jets in 1/32 are awfully big BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll happily settle for the canopies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Nice work. The more of these F-4s I see the more I want to try one. Although jets in 1/32 are awfully big Thanks! They are certainly big but it doesn't take up any more space than my Mossie does. The Mossie is shorter but has a much wider wingspan. It's when you have a bunch of them that it becomes a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Someone say guns? They're just a test fit at the moment. I still have to paint the pylons before making them permanent. Carl sandokan, Dragon, Shaka HI and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
