I'll show how I do it when I get to that point! Probably another week or two worth of fiddly bits. Trying not to rush it in close.

You somehow manage to capture the energy of the moment in these builds, i dont know how you do it, but it is pretty special. Must be impressive in the flesh! Must be huge....

stusbke Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Awesome job Peter just plain awesome It's odd that the nose gear actually extended on the top rather then the bottom like most other birds do! Makes it even more cooler to see that gear take that much beating extending on the top. Anyway love every bit of it my friend! I can't wait to see the ready for inspection pictures on this one!

easixpedro Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thanks folks. I’ve done some momentous builds before, but those were the carrier deck scenes and it allowed me to move from small project to project. Have never tackled something quite this gigantic, so am rather happy that it’s actually coming together. There’s some small squiggles here and there, but man, I’ve leaned so much putting this together. First resin casting, first time wielding parts for a model, first vacu forms in forever…you get the idea. Just back from seeing a Broadway show (that’s enough culture for me for the day), back to the workbench! -Peter denders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Driver Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Simply awesome. I was nearby one of those the other day. In pretty bad condition actually. Tired, abandoned under the unforgiving sun. Still - whatta plane. Oh boy! Your looks very alive! easixpedro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easixpedro Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Quick update. Here’s how I make the cross deck pendant, aka arresting gear. Take a couple of wires and chuck ‘em in a drill to wrap/twist them up. And a couple of teaser shots. Think she’s done. Need to give it a good once over for final bits, but it’s only 1 or 2 if that. RFI pics when I get the chance. Thanks for following along folks, always appreciate the comments and encouragement. Definite motivation and what I love about this joint. Now to figure out if I get after the Huey, Crusader or Liberator. Honestly might be the F-8 just as it requires the least effort after a 2 year build. More soon! -Peter johncrow, adameliclem, florin13 and 32 others 33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
