Nice detail painting there.

More progress.  Glued the nose on, fuselage halves and one set of speed brakes in closed position.

Now she's starting to look like an plane!  I changed my mind on the finish and have decided to do the camouflaged FSD aircraft.

A day or two late, but I think except for seat belts on the seat, I can now glue the fuselage halves together.

 

 

 

Nice looking cockpit! 

[Ted Barrett]

Thanks Mongoose!  My favourite part of any model is painting the cockpit!

Managed to squeeze a little bit more into my kit while my mother was visiting. 

 

The seat is now glued in place instead of sitting loose...I'll worry about seat belts a bit later.  And the hud pieces are glued in place and painted.

I finally have my bird up on it's landing gear!  I don't imagine that I will have her done by the end of the month but I will keep trying to make progress!

Cool, always love that kit. Great choice on that early camo,

used to see it in Aviation week magazine my Dad would get back then. 50747

Nice build!  I thought I was the only one crazy enough to take on this old kit.  I built this one about this time last year.

Thanks phasephantomphixer and ScottsGT (really like your rollout colours version!) for your comments and anyone else who commented or reacted as well.

 

I've enjoyed working on this kit, which is good as I have, I think another 2 or 3 of them to build up.  Unfortunately I've run out of gas for the build and time on this Group Build, so Kevin if you could move this over to Works in Progress for me that would be greatly appreciated and I can share further work on my F-16 when I get back to it.

 

For now I have started working on an 1/32 Eduard Bf 109E-1 to keep myself at the workbench. 

 

Talk to everyone soon,
