Pale Rider FINISHED

[blackbetty]

The Bucc isn´t finished, but i started tinkering with the ICM cobra pit and eduard stuff.

It will look like that and i will be following Brians build pretty closely

 

there is only one pic of it in a squadron book i am aware of.

if anybody has another, that would be cool

as i said: cockpit time with aduard stuff. 

 

some grey primer that matches the original paint pretty closely

 

[blackbetty]

looks pretty good, not much difference to the quinta parts imho

Nice work on that floor. I like the weathering and wear you applied.

oooh nice - I have wanted to do Pale Rider myself

 

Pics are scarce - found this one somewheres out there hope OK to post - doesnt help a lot other than confirm the name was on both sides of the a/c

thisd is the only one i found:

[blackbetty]

started to draw the decals. the number for the tail is taken from a decal sheet in 1/72, no confirmation of its accuracy

that was before petrovs pic, i will have to modify it

the seats with the eduard belts

 

[blackbetty]

installed in the pit, the side console parts added

 

[blackbetty]

the eduard set also includes a mesh screen

Gosh you"re moving on with this one, all's looking good!

[blackbetty]

having seen Brians build and his problems with the lower tailboom seam i glued some strips to the inside to reinforce

some more tabs around the lower fuselage part too

 

[blackbetty]

another tip from his build is the reinforcement of the skids, done with 1mm wire here. hope this is enough
