easixpedro Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Almost 9 months to the day, we're done! Build log is here: If you remember this picture--it is the scene I wanted to recreate, but from the Kitty Hawk's 66-67 Tonkin Gulf cruise. Think it came out pretty well. Here's a couple more (actually tough to photograph) Thanks to everyone for following along and your encouragement. Hopefully I showed how easy it is to make a B out of the J kit. She's by no means perfect, and definitely won't win any awards, but I'm happy to have recreated the scene I had in my head. Now back to the Prowler build! -Peter CODY, Alain Gadbois, Dragon and 34 others 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the scene with a Phantom is easier as that hook is so monstrous that it makes a good anchor to mount the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citadelgrad Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Such a brute looking so delicately perched on that hook, what an engineering feat. Very nice finish on this one. Fantastic presentation. Uncarina, easixpedro and daveculp 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy! Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Out-friggin-Standing! Booger. Nice effort and it paid off. I love the action and the base is well executed. Getting back to the Qweer? Timmy! easixpedro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDuv Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It was a real pleasure following along your work. You made it look simple and easy, and it was really inspiring. The finished beauty is a real stunner, and the dynamic situation make it even more attractive! I could only wish mine will be half as good as this one! can’t wait to see you back at the big prowler.

Anthony in NZ Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Definitely up there as one of my all time favorite builds on LSP. The conversion, the execution and the final result are absolutely 'on point'....totally awesome! Thanks for sharing your skills and ups and downs along the way.....worth every second in my opinion!

You're on track to blow this out of the water with what you've already shown us. Even better, you've made the drawings available for everyone to attempt it. That's what I like about this joint: everyone is willing to share and we all learn and improve. 1 hour ago, Anthony in NZ said: Definitely up there as one of my all time favorite builds on LSP.

Cheers Anthony Anthony, you're making me blush. Was fun having someone as crazy as me working on the same (ish) airframe. Can't wait to see what you've got in store for us, as she's going to be a stunner when done.
