Kagemusha Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I have decals you can have, they came in a set with Brazilian Lynx - the reason I bought them - can't remember the manufacturer, will find them and get back to you.

Greg W Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Terrific start on the Scooter and looking forward to following your progress Keep ‘em comin Peter Thanks Peter! It's great you checked out my first WIP thread. I'm figuring out how to do things as I go along so I apologize if my early attempts to do this are a little clunky. This website has bumped up my knowledge and skill level and I know that doing a WIP adds a combined interactive/informative exchange between members that I really like.

Greg W Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) It is interesting to see these aircraft under different lighting conditions. I think the second picture shows a newer grey color painted on the AF-1 after it underwent a fleet wide upgrade program.

Congrats on getting those vortex generators cleaned and folded, that will look so much better! Marcel You know, it wasn't that bad of a job. Time consuming, tedious towards the end but that's because I did them all at one go. There are thirty six on each wing. I put them in a seven day pill organizer for safe keeping. Eduard provides a LOT of extras which meant, if I mangled or launched some off the workbench (which I did), no big deal. By the way, the quality of my photoetch parts has been vastly improved by using the Tamiya diamond file. Left over tabs not trimmed closely enough are easily and precisely removed with this inexpensive tool.

Greg W Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) I used the diamond file to refine the shape of this part. Course enough to remove material but fine enough to clean up and finish an edge as well! Super tool.

Anthony in NZ Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm the guy doing it...….. I have a build thread on LSP showing some corrections that need to be made. But it is stalled whilst I sort the conversion out. Eric Galliers has an Aussie one finished and has done the mods, his thread is on here too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone through Erics build which is, as everyone who has seen it knows, awesome! I look forward to digging into to yours.

Greg W Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 I just finished reading through your build today Anthony (Sunday). Holy smokes! Some of the finest modeling I have ever seen! At this point, my work looks very good from about three feet away but what you are doing just looks better and better the closer you get! Absolutely gorgeous. It's so great you are posting your work, thanks. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
