I’m looking forward to seeing it finished as your skills are incredible. The world sure is an interesting (to say the least) place at the moment. Cheers Neil Thanks Neil, true story. This one is way overdue for completion. Interesting is a very polite word compared to what I'd probably say the world is at present... 16 hours ago, alain11 said: hi John glad you are back on this conversion ..even if my Cheetah C is done , count on me , I am a fan of this AC........... because , it's easier for me , and I guess for a lot of guys here and there , thank you to give us the opportunity to build such uncommon plane Alain Alain, you did very well with your Cheetah C. I needed to get some build therapy to help clear my mind. An update on the build. I used the Mirage IIIEZ fin with the corrected rudder for the Cheetah E. The entire modified tail fin will be cast as one unit, except for the rudder and the single rearward facing RWR unit.

Renegade Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Progress on the tail cone. Filled the unnecessary panel lines on either side as well as the shrink mark on the port side. Also added the EW sensor on top the brake chute fairing. Cheers Landrotten Highlander, Kagemusha, blackbetty and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved recently, and what a mission. Internet not working properly yet, so I'm trying an app on my phone. Hope the images are visible... Got some work done on the Cheetah E nose, and sprayed a coat of primer on it.

Renegade Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Hi Alain, The Isracast nose has a very different shape and size. Here's a comparison of my effort at the top, then the Isracast and the CAM one at the bottom.

Hi Malcom, glad that you like it enough to stall your build I'm sure you'll enjoy the resin parts.

Did a test fit, and it seems okay. The Italeri kit's forward fuselage is not glued together yet but taped together. So, it's a bit wobbly, but good enough for this purpose.

Renegade Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi guys, A mold was made of the bulkhead, as I'll need the modified master for other projects. A resin copy was used and detailed a bit. Also added the extended plate inside and at the top of the tail cone. Cheers Starfighter, Landrotten Highlander, Marcel111 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
