Yep! That will look great under glass

Ok, FINALLY got a little motivation today, finished up the fuselage formers and installed the cockpit. Tomorrow, hopefully i'll glue the halves together and start the nacelles.

That looks great Lee. Building a vac is so satisfying. 

 

You are definitely doing a much cleaner job than I am. 

 

Go Lee, go.

Wow cool!  Looks like the cockpit practically sits in the middle of the fuse.

Subassemblies.

 

In a modeling thrall

can't go outside at all

vacuum form or cast some parts!

 

 

Subassemblies.

 

Don't want to build a car

my boredom hasn't got that far

carve a form, and try not to lose heart!

 

Any mistake might reach a tipping point,

or even running out of glue!

But the stash offers me some refuge now,

I've got another model or two!!!!!

Looks like my bench.

 

And it's not a good thing!

Well, after a multi-year modeling funk, I'm trying to break out of it by forcing myself to to a little every day. I started this a while back in the Cold War GB, and some earlier pics are there. One mistake I did make was the cockpit placement, I was sure it was right, but my eyes said, "Not a chance". So, after re-measuring, I found it to be 15mm too far aft. So, a cut-and-shut was in order, and can be seen here.

Very promising so far

Is this the Lemkit kit?

Hi, no, this is a scratch build. Lemkits has a -25 Flashlight, but not a -28. Or, maybe they do, and I've been out of the loop! If he does, I'm heating up the credit card and binning this one.

Scratchbuild? Even more impressive

Lee, that is super cool.

I will be following this for sure.

Love the lines on this one.   Really interesting.

Nice to see this back, Lee. I can merge this with the original thread if you like, so that all the info is in one place, and there's some continuity.
