Scotsman Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Can I interrupt the flow of the build to confirm that Jet Passion products are really excellent quality , I bought some pieces for a Tornado project I'm working on , and they are all universally excellent - buy with confidence , Highly recommended Derek B, Anthony in NZ, Zola25 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 That scissor link really does look good Anthony. Very nice reference too as my FG-1 is in the decalling phase. Anthony in NZ and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos07 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Anthony, I just re-read page one to here and all I can say is WOW. Your work is very detailed, clean, and very crisp - even the spots you dislike doing the most! This project certainly motivates me to work toward this level of work - especially your scribing/riveting work. Keep it up - this will be a prize when finished and most certainly impossible to beat!

Awwww thanks buddy, that means a lot! I am pleased you're enjoying it as much as I am! More progress, this time on the undercarriage. Initially I thought I only needed the lower section of leg with extra links, then when Kerry was drawing it up measurements didnt quite add up...and after further research Kerry found the leg dia didnt seem to add up to the drawings. It seems the kit and aftermarket ones are 4.8mm dia whereas the FG.1 (double ext nose leg) is 6.2mm! Interesting, but totally makes sense as it would have the extra oleo extension?? Anyway, cant 100% confirm this but we are going with the drawings and the reasoning that this might make sense anyway. However the more I look at photo's I am getting more convinced it looks chunkier than a std Phantom noseleg (incl FGR.2). There are several differences in the FG.1 leg as well as the upper links are different again as well as a few other details. Anyhoo, needless to say this has ment a whole new leg has been done to be printed and test fitted (as it has to also include the rearward rake). Always something eh? Thank goodness for Kerry, in fact he has so much involvement in this with me that it really is a joint project as I couldnt have got it this accurate without him....Thanks buddy! So in the meantime I have been working on mains and final detailing and painting. More to go on these along with trying to find stencils for the main oleo's...no one seems to have done them in 1/32 and I cant find anything close at this point. And yes...sheep are everywhere here in NZ, even my modelling bench! Test fitted....looking good! You saw my nose u/c doors with primer....now all painted, stencils and wiring added along with some subtle weathering These doors got really filthy but I tried to restrain myself a bit and did my best to match XV571's doors at this point in her life And both the fronts together So on the hunt for a MLG oleo placard and then final details added and the legs are done, still working on the MLG doors Thanks for looking in...I am still going!
