thierry laurent Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Scotsman said: The FOD option always seemed like a cop out but it does cut out a huge amount of work Wish I'd had had the guts to cut out the bomb bay to fit the insert , it would have save a LOT of sanding = As for the airbrake - Close it - otherwise you'll never finish the model! Alas it is too late! I already made cuts in the rear fuselage ! blackbetty and Stevepd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I built a cradle to hold the beast once it got to the stage it made a big difference when working on it - just a thought Oh and for the build - amazing progress! blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Thanx Colin i should have paid more attention to your build..... after fitting the wings i just puttied the small seam, only to find out that the transition from wing to fuselage is very smooth. you cant really see where the fuse ends and the wing begins. so i had to rework that area after removing of the tape: hope that cuts it MikeMaben, Starfighter, Scotsman and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 working on the main gearbays, not an easy task. its good they can hardly bee seen when the model rests on its legs comparison shot to Dans Vigilante i got yesterday - what a monster! i imagined the buc being smaler.... thierry laurent, Fanes, Starfighter and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 still more work on the gearbays. these are very hard to get reasonably correct, the castings are full of bubbles, so maybe i will remove some detail and scratch the parts i also made a cut in front and rear of the revolving bombbay, it has a pretty prominent gap on the real thing Starfighter, LSP_Kevin, Greg W and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
