Out2gtcha Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Looks great Dan, you wouldn't know you had any serious issues. Looking forward to seeing it all come together. Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 And a little bit more. First the canopy actuator. When I looked at my Academy kit I realized that they provided 2 different actuators. I assume one was for the single seat version and one for the 2 seater. So I grabbed the one for the 2 seater and modified it to provide a little more detail for my project. And I improved the detail under the canopy, once again looking at the Academy part and then making my own copy.

Dandiego Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Been a little slow lately. But here is some progress. After an overall coat of semi-gloss I have put on the centerline ordnance and the tanks. Dan GMK, Out2gtcha, MikeMaben and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Small bits.... I have added a small metal tab to the top of the ladder. This will be slid into the recess on the forward end of the ladder bay and epoxied into place. And some PE for the wing slime lights. Almost there...

Dandiego Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 2 updates in one day, Holy Moly Batman. What can I say, I've been on vacation this week. Outer plylons with bombs, check. Ladder with pilot, check. Canopy, dry fit, check. Roger, over and out, Dan Alain Gadbois, LSP_Kevin, TorbenD and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
