When everything else is so well detailed that this area is not up to the standard of the rest of the pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMcD Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Now that the actuator is there I do not see many missing details. Some cables, maybe, but I'd add them myself anyway. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark31 Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 more work done first front wheelbay front engine fan blades the bay for the rat now the instructions caal to put the rest off the air intake in place before the bay go in place. thats a problem to do without sanding a big part away so i would try it the other way and first place the bay before the rest off the intake. i would say try this before you put it in to place i have done it the hard way see the pics i hope you understand what i mean iff you look at the air intake you see the flat sides i have made to fit the bay in place Mark LSP_Ray, scvrobeson, Rainer Hoffmann and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Looks awesome Mark! How are you finding the printed parts? Do they require much clean-up, or are they relatively fine with just a coat of primer and paint? Matt mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcD Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Lovely progress Mark, the RAT bay is excellent! I love the brass color and the details. The engine fan blade and the nose gear well are beautiful, too. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some places no clean up neded but there are areas that needs more work For small parts sometimes primer is just good hope this helps a bit 15 hours ago, JMcD said: Lovely progress Mark, the RAT bay is excellent!

IvanVasili Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I absolutely loved what you have done so far. I have the kit, it is a really great production and I am very eager to see what others are doing with it before I start mine. You are very well progressing!

Zola25 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hi Mark I am building mine at the moment as well - just a quick question; Did you manage to find Parts E52 and E53 for the Nose Gear Well? My casting blocks have been misprinted with wrong part numbers (I have 3 blocks of Part D) so its a bit of a mess. I could have used a parts-map like most manufacturers provide but the above parts I cannot locate anywhere. Just curious if you found them or they are in fact not included? Thanks Niels mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark31 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 small stuff done the braces between the intake and feuselage middel part on the front part the instructions tell you to put the airscoops on before the 2 parts go tougheter but then it will be hard to sand the seam because off the placment off the parts Not a tamiya fit but with some sanding no problem with mine Also some primer on. next up reaer part and afterburner section Mark IvanVasili, JMcD, Dart_Schatten and 21 others 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Wonderful job Mark , wait until the wings/Tail and Canards are on m it,s frigging heavy, My motto has always been "Build in Haste , Fill at leisure" it really does go together really well, the just remember to clean the jointing surfaces the tolerances are Really tight , but I suspect you know that already! mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
