blackbetty Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 then came the wings with modified attachment points (these interfere with the intakes at the bottom) mounted at a fixed angle, no more playing around with the sweep of the wings when the lowered flaps are on LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander, Martinnfb and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) and the top and forward fuselage, using glued on locating tabs and lots of tape to secure the parts with minimal gaps. the fit is actually pretty nice Edited July 13, 2023 by blackbetty Zola25, DugyB, Phantom2 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) i had quite a difficult time to get the tail to sit right on the fuselage and not to have to use filler Edited July 13, 2023 by blackbetty Landrotten Highlander, LSP_Kevin, Uncarina and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Time spent improving the fit of parts always saves double that in filling and sanding!! blackbetty and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 fiddling around with small parts. here are the modified pylons, the kit doesnt have the RAF ones Martinnfb, LSP_Kevin, denders and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) getting ready for preshading and paintig various parts black i realized that there is no depiction of the exhaust outlet in front of the tailplane on the starboard side, so i had to scratch it. the rubber wing gloves are made out of patafix (like bluetac), the plastic and resin parts are too static imo Edited July 18, 2023 by blackbetty Landrotten Highlander, Martinnfb, LSP_Kevin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
