Alain Gadbois Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 Very good work on these intakes! If vac kits had a few resin parts to help in these difficult areas (plus some for the cockpit and landing gear) it would make them much easier to build. Of course the price would be higher... In any case, your project is coming along nicely! Alain blackbetty 1
blackbetty Posted October 8, 2018 Author Posted October 8, 2018 thanx all some primer on the intakes, the rough shape is now there, still some finishsanding required 23 by karl holubar, auf Flickr sandokan, Iain, Kagemusha and 6 others 9
blackbetty Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) some work on the fin: i seperated the rudder and made the front round part of it using some sprue. fin was reshaped a little using pics and the drawings from the MMP book. i have found these to be the most accurate 24 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited October 17, 2018 by blackbetty Iain, Starfighter, BradG and 3 others 6
blackbetty Posted October 9, 2018 Author Posted October 9, 2018 hinges added and scribed 25 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Trak-Tor, johncrow, Iain and 7 others 10
blackbetty Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 the enginefaces are now fixed into the nacelles, some resin pourblocks epoxied in to not have them come loose 26 by karl holubar, auf Flickr BradG, johncrow, sandokan and 3 others 6
blackbetty Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 from the outside. there are very few pics from the real plane where you can see these, they are far in and the axis is up in the fuselage, the black paintjob doesnt help either. i panted them black allready to not later have problems with masking the enginefaces 27 by karl holubar, auf Flickr sandokan, Iain, Alain Gadbois and 5 others 8
Alain Gadbois Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Great progress! Nice scribing and hinge detail on the fin. Looks simple when finished but I know it is a lot of work! Alain blackbetty 1
blackbetty Posted October 11, 2018 Author Posted October 11, 2018 i have now glued the pit into the starboard side of the fuselage, i will be able to close the fuselage soon. but first i scratched the consoles, footrest and main controlstick actuator. the ip is next 29 by karl holubar, auf Flickr 30 by karl holubar, auf Flickr 31 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Out2gtcha, LSP_Kevin, BradG and 6 others 9
blackbetty Posted October 16, 2018 Author Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) fuselage is now joined and has dried over the weekend 32 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited October 16, 2018 by blackbetty Starfighter, sandokan, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4
blackbetty Posted October 16, 2018 Author Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) i have started scribing on the nose radome and the area between the engine nacelles 33 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited October 16, 2018 by blackbetty sandokan, Out2gtcha, Starfighter and 4 others 7
blackbetty Posted October 17, 2018 Author Posted October 17, 2018 thanx to get an idea of the cockpit opening i cut off the fairingparts front and rear that arev part of the vac canopy. i scratched it, but thankfully tigger supplies two canopys 34 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Starfighter, sandokan and Shawn M 3
blackbetty Posted October 17, 2018 Author Posted October 17, 2018 ther rear part is still removable to get a snug fit. a lot of parts have little flanges as this rear fairing, along with the nacelles and wings, this makes getting a clean joint easier 35 by karl holubar, auf Flickr GROWLER 96, Starfighter, Shawn M and 4 others 6 1
