Antonio Argudo Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) I'm completely naive about this plane, I saw the kit and bought it, silly me I did realize too late that it was the G version which was used by Spain and the rest from NATO countries, fortunately it only requires making an extension transformation in the tail rudder, chuck540z3 wonderful rendition is fantastic guide, hats off to him! so let the adventure begin. I manage to add some stressed skin for those panel that will be in NMF Edited November 22, 2023 by Antonio Argudo Landrotten Highlander, scvrobeson, Fanes and 16 others 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenshb Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The G-model also had bulged main wheel doors to accommodate the wider wheels and tyres. Your reference book may show this detail. Antonio Argudo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your reference book may show this detail. you are correct, fortunately the kit brings both doors stiles, the Reskit set will work for the wheels Edited November 20, 2023 by Antonio Argudo geedubelyer, blackbetty, chaos07 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Argudo Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) mostly I have done is lots of resin cutting and sanding, dry fit tests and trimming for the load of goodies, lots of resin dust over the workbench, looks like christmas arrived earlier! it is hard to figure out how to stuff the resins aftermarkets but I feel positive it is working, wish me luck Edited November 23, 2023 by Antonio Argudo Isar 30/07, Furie, MDuv and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shujaa Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Looking good Antonio. Maybe a nice addition to Your After Market goodies, a nice set of 1/32 stencil-data : https://www.aviationmegastore.com/en/modelling/lockheed-tff104-starfighter-stencils---spain-pm-profimodeller-32478-196568.html Kind regards, Rudy. chaos07 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Really nice start Antonio and if you haven't got it already, I highly recommend the ResKit engine and nozzle set. It is night and day better than the kit nozzle and it fits the kit parts very well- with the usual kit vs resin adjustments!
