LSP_Kevin Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I can only echo Mike's comments, Anthony. Coincidentally, I also drive a CX-5, though I'm not really sure how exactly that's relevant right now. Kev Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvwse4 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hi Anthony, Sucks man, hope you are getting better. Too bad about the car but that is only a tin can on wheels, glad you and your son are ok. There was a thing with cockpits I remember.......

scvrobeson Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Just glad to hear that you're both okay after the accident. Modeling is really secondary to that. Matt Anthony in NZ, Derek B and KiwiZac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Thanks again for all your kind words after my crash etc... Anyhoo, progress is progress no matter how teeeeny tiny it is? This and the mounting base took me several hours. Its Kerry's printed panel particular to the FG.1. Fitted a couple of Airscale gauges and small stencils, and then matte clear and gloss instrument blobs. Hopefully glue this unit into the rear tub tomorrow This thing is small and I have had to enlarge it a lot Onwards and upwards eh Cheers Anthony Rockie Yarwood, Derek B, Greg W and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I’ve had a rough few months with sickness, being made redundant (then reapplying and getting my original job back etc) just one thing and another. Topping it off with a car crash that wrote my CX-5 SUV off 10 days ago. My son and I are ok but left us shaken. I just haven’t had the right mindset to work on the technicalities of the Phantom conversion or even being on the forums, which isn’t like me! Having said that, life is setting back down again, and I’ve been tinkering on a Tamiya 1/32 civilian Mustang that is finished (well just waiting on a set of Roy’s wheels) then it’s back to this. You’re comments really made me laugh…thanks! Oh did I not say that cockpit would be my downfall?? Lol. Cheers, you’re a great bunch! Anthony Hey Anthony, only read this now, hope things are on an upward trajectory for you now. Marcel Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg W Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Oooh, your back! Nice work on that panel Anthony, looks great. Just like everything else on this model! So nice to follow along, please continue. Edited September 28, 2022 by Greg W Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So nice to follow along, please continue. Awwww Greg! Great to see you buddy...I shall continue! Glued the panel on its mount and then glued into the tub. Thought I should to a test fit and make sure everything is in orientation and still in relation to everything else. pretty happy so far. Honestly I'd be happy with anything in the cockpit as I really struggle if you hadn't guessed it by all my moaning! Right-O back to the rear radar scope, ugh Cheers Anthony TankBuster, patricksparks, scvrobeson and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvwse4 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hi Anthony, Like I said before wish I could make something I hate to do look that good. Glad to see you back on this one. Reminds me of the SOB which is staring at me for the last year on the SOD......... Look forward to much more. Cheers Rick Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you are doing brilliant. So you are back on this lovely build.. yayyyy.yayyyy.is looking good and the "tub " looks pretty impressive. It is coming along splendidly. YOU CAN DO IT Anthony. yeah The Mustang is AWESOME too. Thanks MARU, as always your enthusiasm is fuel for me on those days where it is doing my head in! Glad you like the Tamiya Mustang I just finished in RFI as well....I'm surprised at the response since it was a bit of a 'throw together' to get me going again!

Kerry's been beavering away on the radar scope in the back as I am just not happy with my scratchbuilding skills to do it justice. Kerry is a legend and am forever indebted to him. Whilst he works on that I am trying to make sense (again) of the engine detail inside the lower aux doors and rear panel upper section Cheers guys Anthony LSP_Kevin, KiwiZac, scvrobeson and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
