themongoose Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Definitely a cool scheme! Way different then standard gray scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Finally back to the hog! The engines are done but not mounted to the fuselage yet. Also, the model does not have an accurate representation of the APU. Some scratch building and no it has an APU. Enjoy! Pretty ugly APU exhaust and no intake! Intake: New exhaust: Nacelles completed and primed: I hope you like the pics. Isar 30/07, Sepp, Landrotten Highlander and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Ahh so good to see this beauty again! You’ve got some nice detailing going on there. I’m taking notes for mine. Have you decided on the final camo scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning on a normal grey scheme, even though I want to do a demo team bird, I really like to do a normal weapons load on it. I am doing one of these two: Tail #: 265 Or tail #: 953 themongoose, BradG and Greg W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hello gents, I did not want to do major surgery on the kit but there is so much stuff wrong with it that it is frustrating. The inboard flaps are not the right length and the wing root fairing overlaps the flap and the kit’s does not do it, so I fixed it. This is the original fit: This is the fix: Something else that annoyed the bejeez out of me, are the caverns instead of detail inside the wings if the flaps are extended. More plastic surgery. Although not completed yet, I think it look better. My problem right now is that I’m loosing steam.

Troy Molitor Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It’s coming together well for you. Push through to completion! I also like the decal options you might choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmel Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Push through. This kit is hard. I have two in various forms of construction that I gave up on. Don't be like me. I've never seen the Michigan jet built. That's my vote. Thanks for using my decals!! Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would concur, but the KW's sets are a fair bit cheaper than either Quinta or Red Fox. For my money, I think the Kits World are a great improvement over most kits' cockpits, but some will prefer the greater detail of the more expensive items. Chris.
