mattcour Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Looks soooo good! The nozzle is spectacular, so is the afterburner ring. Wonderful progress!! I'm not sure if this has been asked here but, will this be in gray or splinter scheme? mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife in the hospital for surgery on the knee and just back home. So what happend on this one the wings are on and for size its a A3 cutting mat the fit off the wings need work so already put some putty on and start sanding. Still needs more work lik scribbing but first im going to put some primer on to see where it needs more work Only didt sanding an putty on the top side so far a vieuw on the underside Im planning to use some evergreen to fill the big gaps and some putty. I didt my best to get the fit so good i can get but this area whas a no go beter Thats it for now. Im hoping to have a bit more bench time but will see how things go here at home Mark Out2gtcha, Stokey Pete, F`s are my favs and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 That is a substantial piece of kit. Looks like it's going together quickly, and shouldn't need too much work to go together. Keep up the great work Mark! Matt mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crobinsonh Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Fantastic work - could I suggest that you use scrap resin cut to size to fill the gaps. I have done that previously and found it east to work with and to get good results when combined with super glue. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
