patricksparks Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Took a big step today, I glued the rear of the fuselage together, I left the forward half un-glued as I have to fit the cockpit portion in between the intakes, it's how the kit was designed for assembly with no glue, it's kind of a pain as you have to stay aware of what can go together at what time. also put a little paint over the rivit decals to have a look.

patricksparks Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Had to use a little freindly pursuasion on the forward fuselage to get it closed up snuggly. USMC Herc, airscale, Gazzas and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricksparks Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Working on the gun pods a bit, I decided that I will mount the pods with screws, so I have glued blocks into both pods front and rear. I intend to join the 2 pods together with a new amunition feed fairing, I'm actually using the incorrect kit part to join the pods together and put the new fairing over it. I have also made some cannon barrels out of some stainless steel tubing, .060 inside diameter = 30mm in 1:18 scale. I want the cannon pods removable for painting, I have seen a lot of photos of Harriers and many times the cannon pods are a different color than the airframe, I guess from swapping them out during maintainance and removing them when not needed and replacing them with the stand alone ventral strakes.

A-10LOADER Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Nice work Patrick, looks familiar too. I'll be interested to see if your adding the centerline pylon with the Targeting pod, I want to do that for mine (which I'll need to scratch-build) but, can't find any good reference pics of the pylon with the pod mounted.

patricksparks Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Don't know if I'm going to do a centerline rack, here is the best photo I have of the centerline. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
