Phantom2 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Hi All! A tiny gap appeared on the topside of the right nacelle, I used some CASCO wooden glue as filler… ---but then I had This major gap on the bottom …. My favorite method how to handle larger gaps; first fill with pieces of plasticard and then lots of liquid glue… Not pretty… But after a few days I can shave/cut off the excessive plastic…. …and it looks already MUCH better….

Phantom2 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Hi All! I glued some weapons, just to get some relaxation from the rest of the build…. I will do a ”Air-to-Ground” loadout as this was how the Frogfoot were mostly used. This is what I will hang under the wings… ….and the pylons; The odd thing in this kit is that Trumpeter missed the outermost pylon for the R-60`s, but they have included the holes for them i the wings, already opened up! The rails and the R-60 Aphid Missiles are in the the box, tough… Weird..... In the box there´s also a LOT of ”Air-to-Air” weapons; With all pylons and rails; It´s crazy, almost half of the parts in this kit is for the weapons, pylons and rails! The wings and fin assembled without a hitch; More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Hi All! The HUD is done; Windscreen in place; I used a very small amount of white glue to tack the canopy in place for the moment, and masked it up with masks from Eduard; More to come soon….

Stokey Pete Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm becoming more convinced that I want one of these in the stash. That 'pit looks excellent. BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom2 Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Hi all! The inner frames of the cockpit painted… Sanding and filling around the nose…. More filling around the windscreen wich were a quite a good fit despite this. I could get a really good fit on the big weapons hatch These hatches were a pain to get a good fit on, small differences in thickness, not-so-good overall fit and minimal gluing surfaces made this a very fiddly job! Much and very careful sanding gets you there…. The nose gear cover was too small! The fin glued, very nice and distinct fit here, now this kit has outgrown the box it came in! More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Hi all! The IR-seeker(?) in the nose painted clear Blue and a piece of Aluminium foil glued on the back. Some filling around the windscreen…. The seeker glued to the fuselage, not-so-good fit here, i.e. some filling and sanding. The glass piece masked, all seams sanded and polished. Wings are glued, good fit here but I had to use some weight while the glue dried. More to come soon….
