blackbetty Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 i turned my attention to the rear fuselage next, where i want to use Tims seamless intakes this is the kit part. some reinforcement in the rer using plastic strips were made (as every buildlog tells you to do) BradG, Martinnfb and LSP_Kevin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 with engine faces. i will only glue the bottom part to the fuselage to be able to adjust the sidewalls when the upper fuselage part is fitted LSP_Kevin, denders, Landrotten Highlander and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 i taped the fuse together next to see if can be closed properly - no problems to report Martinnfb, themongoose, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 i stuck one of the intakes together to have a look, the inside of the kit intakes has a deep recess on the inside, not present on the real thing gotta scratch something here, stay tuned LSP_Kevin, Isar 30/07, denders and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 reading several buildlogs i realized the tailplanes are a little too far forward on the kit, so i moved them back a little, drilled new holes and closed the existing ones denders, BradG, Martinnfb and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 the intakes are not very detailed, the insides have very visible recesses not present on the actual intakes, so i first skinned the inner parts: LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander, Alain Gadbois and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 the pivot points of the wings have to be modified to mount the seamless intakes into the fuselage. the middle part of the lower crossmember has to be cut out. stability is no problem after the modification as the intakes make the assembly sturdy after glueing in (not done yet) Stokey Pete, Supersonic, Martinnfb and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) working on all of the parts that will be pale grey, as the intakes, tanks, gearbays etc. i dint bother too much with the bays, they are only visible if you pick up the model, so i just used the eduard stuff i scraped off the hydraulic line detail of the kitparts and used .3 and .6mm leadwire to replicate these the oleo of the nosegearstrut was shortened 3mm primed in the pic and with the reskit wheelhubs Edited June 1, 2023 by blackbetty MikeMaben, denders, BradG and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
