chrish Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Thanks mates! Reskit pulled through for the replacement of the (one piece) that was badly formed by sending me a complete replacement set, great service! work has begun on cutting away the pour lugs...done now I guess and fitting the parts together. I should be able to assemble and paint these this week. the original pieces in back new ones out front the fun will now continue Thanks for looking denders, Shoggz, Landrotten Highlander and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 So the last few bits have been stuck on (except the turned metal pitot which is apparently still in transit Fuel tanks ready for loading up I went with a different painting method on these new pipes over the first set And glued on; fuel tanks glued on; aaannd finished... I'll add the next few images to RFI A great kit, a lot of enjoyment to build although, I thought it would take longer... Thanks to all those who stopped by for a look Extra thanks to those who left a comment and words of encouragement.

chaos07 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Impressive finish. The metal tones used are perfect on the hot section of the new engines. Well done on the weathering too! chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMann Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I love your build! In the middle of this very kit myself and opted only to get the Aires cockpit. That reskit stuff though, will have to include on the next time. I've done all the plumbing in the gear bays myself including the landing gear, as well as radar section, and even trying my hand at building the engine bays out of scratch. Not accurate, but it's been a challenge that I'm loving. Thanks for your tips and tricks on your build here! Never thought to cut out some of the vents opposed to using PE. Nice touch! Your railroad fencing for a grill vent for the AC area is a great idea! chrish and Iain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 That looks fabulous Chris - especially the weathered finish! I have the 'B' boxing that's been staring at me... Iain chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds interesting J , but if you don't post pix, you'll face a hefty fine. geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
