chrish Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Thanks all! I was going to start on the nose section today (last day of hollidays before back to work again tomorrow) but found more details I could add from images (thanks Kiwizack) such as brackets and mounts (possibly or guns??) in the cabin and what look like flare tubes(?) above/beside the mounts. I think I may be able to add some interior green paint next then get to work on the nose section. Not a big difference from the previous images so sorry if it's getting boring.

chrish Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 I splashed some color on inside the cabin (Vallejo Zinc Chromate green) and added a few more details The tape on over the windows is supposed to (if my idea works) give me a pattern to make the side windows. I'll lay a piece of clear sheet on the tape and cut out the green area, hopefully giving me a closely fitting side window(s) I guess next up is finish the cockpit and start making windows...

Out2gtcha Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Man that is looking AMAZING! Goes to show, if you put in the work, anything can be a show stopper. chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s part of the illness most modellers seem to have! I think it’s called Advanced Modelling Syndrome (or AMS for short) and is usually accompanied by the patient muttering something along the lines of “well, at least I know it’s there” or simply “why?”. I certainly have it and I’m sure many here also have it and as far as I know, there is no known cure! Anyway, just wanted to add my applause, a brilliant job! chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 AMS with a vacuform kit is a grave diagnosis. chrish, D.B. Andrus and Tony C 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Very nice work. I like vacuforms, but I’m nowhere as rapid with them as this as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I love that interior Chris! Great idea about the windows too..... I'll be saving that one for a later date Craig denders and chrish 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
