wunwinglow Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Fab U Lous! Just got to ask, where on earth do you get your reference material from? You must have rolling access to a real one, I would imagine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Is this the most detailed wheel well on a model aircraft ever conceived by man? Probably! Just awesome work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thanks everyone! Your support is definitely a motivator to keep pressing on. 21 hours ago, wunwinglow said: Fab U Lous! Just got to ask, where on earth do you get your reference material from? You must have rolling access to a real one, I would imagine! 95% done with internet photo mining. I have a few maintenance manuals to help fill in the gaps. I’ve only seen the jet in person once, the example at Pima, AZ and that jet is closed up, not a great reference. Cheers, Timmy!

airscale Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 that is the most faithful reproduction of every doodad and widget I have ever seen, ever, anywhere.. I would almost wager it is a better representation of the real one than a real one... quite eyewatering and easy to just get lost looking at all the detail wonderful - quite simply the best out there Peter Pete Fleischmann and stusbke 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed all you builds and you sir set a pretty high bar that certainly motivates me to build ever better models.

Timmy! Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hello Boyos! Quick update I finished up the LRMTS. It’s a short article this time so head on over here for the complete write up. LRMTS Article Of note the clear cover was milled vs. vacuum formed. More soon thanks for stopping by! Cheers, Timmy!

Chek Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 An awe inspiring reproduction of detail you've created, Timmy. Very much looking forward to your progress on this super project. And I''ve just calculated you'll be making a model over 55 inches long. And there I was thinking my newly arrived Icelandic 1/32nd Buccaneer was a big beast.

Nailcreek Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I assume that once this is all said and done ... it will have a spot at the RAF Museum? Unbelievable artistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hello all and thanks again for the fine comments! Got a good bit of the cockpit done. Construction article here… Had a great time working on this. I’ll say this is the first time I’ve added dust and dirt to a model cockpit. Many photos of these jets show a good bit of dust and dirt and nothing ventured nothing gained so I went for it. Photos exaggerate the effect, mostly because with so much black paint lots of contrast is needed to see details. Hey what’s a tank doing here? Read the article…. Thanks for checking in guys… Cheers, Timmy! Scotsman, LSP_Kevin, Squizzy 78 and 21 others 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Unbelievable! Are you actually planning to stick an aeroplane around those masterpieces? Timmy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Holy crap! I'm very happy you did that in 1/12th scale and not in 1/32nd. Otherwise, I think a lot of people would stop modelling as this level of detail can not be reproduced by mere mortals! Have you already considered how to reproduce the main landing gear? Because of the kit weight, this will be a challenge as well. Timmy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
