Barry Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 15 hours ago, Anthony in NZ said: Small update, but a big milestone for me! Fins going in finally. Fitting each one individually seems to be the best/tidiest way to go About 120 off individual fins to go, then I can glue the intakes on! Will be tedious but I think will all be worth it in the end Cheers Anthony 15 hours ago, Anthony in NZ said: Hi Anthony, Yep one at a time, VERY Tedious! These as set in using temp glue so not very straight. Anthony in NZ, Spooky56 and Derek B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Thank you sir...I did a little last night, I might be finding a rhythm for it and the way I am gluing each fin in now 6 hours ago, jimbo59 said: Those louvre’s are going to look great Thanks for the reassurance, I am liking how they are coming out too 4 hours ago, Rainer Hoffmann said: Top notch work on those louvres, Anthony! It's those details that let a model come to life. Rainer Rainer I agree mate, its the smaller (but just as important) details we spend the extra time on that makes a difference. 4 hours ago, Barry said: Well Barry, you set the benchmark mate, mine are no where as nice as yours but it's the best I could do. I am hoping that with some black basing and careful airbrush work I can add some nice depth etc. Thanks gents, its reassuring that I am pointing in the right direction. I have a few tradesmen in working on my bathroom renovation today so not sure I will get much time on it, but my goal is to hopefully finish the upper right intake section (top and sides). I have to undercoat the ceilings as well this weekend too... Might squeeze in a little before the tiler arrives! Cheers, Anthony....always appreciative of your likes, and encouragement!

Thanks Marcel, glad you noticed, as that front shape of the top of the intake changes shape on the Spey intakes Cheers guys!

Troy Molitor Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Fabulous effort mate. Looking forward to some bit glued together so we can see a larger combined effort. What a cracking build going on here. Signed freezing to death in Memphis. P.S noticed Gloria Lyons is going together in John's hangar? How cool is that.

easixpedro Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 So...I just saw this pic in a former airedales group I’m in. They were all talking about the heat put out by the F-4K during cross deck ops. Thought it worthy of sharing...absolutely brilliant shot. Love the plane guard hanging out like it’s no big deal. That double extension nose strut just blows me away every time I see it. The stroke of that cat shot had to be intense! -Peter Derek B, KiwiZac, Anthony in NZ and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stroke of that cat shot had to be intense! -Peter Thanks Peter, yes I know, thats a cracking photo. All those launch photos impress me of the 'K's' on Ark Royal. In fact I am struggling not to do my model in these colours when the fintip RWR was fitted, trouble is it would mean snapping off my ILS/VOR Antennas off the fin and I really like the look with those fitted...very cool! Who knows, I may yet do this scheme. I am trying to resist but pics like that make it difficult! Thanks for sharing, and following along! Well progress has been slow whilst renovations are happening around the house. But since my last photos @Haroldintake splitter and vari ramps arrived, they are beautiful and the work him and @thierry laurent did was worth the money spent without doubt. Although I can only use the front splitter as that first stage ramp is different on Spey birds. I have almost finished this vent off and again since the last photos I have primered with Mr Surfacer, done some trimming, replacing and refining of some clumsy looking fins and sanded back again. I think I am close (I could possibly leave it) but some of the fins need still need refining. In the meantime the top of the left intake is underway. And in situ Slow progress I know but at least I am still moving forward Cheers Anthony Spooky56, Fanes, Greg W and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Whoa! Those vents at the top of the intake are amazing. Great work. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
