Azgaron 1,357 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I guess I'm slightly mad, starting this one at this point, but I will give it my best shot. This kit is newer and a lot nicer than the Eurofigher. Should have picked it from the start, but didn't know the Eurofigher should be that bad.

Azgaron 1,357 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I've started with the cockpit and prepared for paint, including the front fuselage halves. . I'll probably be doing the Desert storm version, not having to bother with multiple colours in the camo. Håkan blackbetty, 109, Kagemusha and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Azgaron 1,357 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Thank you Stefan and Brian! I started painting the cockpit parts in black. Then I painted dk gull grey, then added some white and made another pass to break up the colour a bit. After that I started painting details. The seats needs some more colours and more details will be added as well as instrument decals. Håkan johncrow, LSP_Kevin and BradG 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Azgaron 1,357 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Since I don't intend to have it in flight or lit up, then all panels should be shut and all black. At least as far as I could tell from the pics I've seen. Håkan Link to post Share on other sites

Azgaron 1,357 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Cockpit done with test fitted seats. Then I fit it into the fuselage halves. For some reason I ended up with a small gap between the front panel and the coaming. Have to carefully sort that with plastic or putty. According to the instructions, only the Desert storm version should have those "Danger do not pull handle" decals, and the decals sit in that part of the sheet, but Looking at pics I think it shows on everyone. It seems most logical to have them anyway. I've also started working on the wings and the movable pylons. As it is now the pylons can sit in any direction, but on the 1/48 kit there's a mechanism to coordinate them. I don't have the 1/48 kit, so I can't see how it's done, but I'm considering sorting it somehow. Otherwise I might as well glue the wings and pylons in a fixed position.

Azgaron 1,357 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 I've progressed a bit further, but haven't had time to upload any pics. Will do that asap, and then this thread can be moved to the wip area. Håkan LSP_Kevin 1 Link to post Share on other sites
