LSP_K2 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 'Pit port side has now received all of the Eduard stuff that the RF set didn't provide. Now it's on to the starboard side details. KiwiZac, Anthony in NZ, Shoggz and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Starboard panel now finished. Not great, but acceptable. Next up, I try to wrestle the silly P.E. seat belts into position. Shoggz, Iain, Anthony in NZ and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Adding the kit IP decals to the unmodified IP was probably unwise, but after numerous coats of Solvaset, it actually looks OK. IP on the real deal is rather bland and colorless anyway, so I think I can live with this. Iain, R Palimaka, Archimedes and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably put 12 coats of Solvaset on it and it didn't really get it all down anyway.... LSP_K2, MikeMaben and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Nice, neat work on that pit Kevin - really looking forward to seeing it assembled! Kind regards, Paul Martinnfb and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Bomb now assembled and spritzed with MRP OD 41. Still some minor errors to correct, but I assumed that might happen. So, the OD at this point, basically serves to highlight the errors to be repaired, or at least that’s the story I’m sticking with.

LSP_K2 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Intake seams now worked out to my satisfaction (finally), but still in need of another light coat of MRP Neutral Grey 43. Should I ever get around to doing the E, I’ll make it a point to paint the screens first, then assemble the intake parts, correct the seams and then glue them in place, which is what I should have done this time.

Dpgsbody55 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Yep. Done stuff like that. At least it looks good now. Cheers Michael LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 I'm grown very weary of beating this bomb into submission, but I now believe all the seams are good (thank goodness). Now it'll get the OD 41, decals, and weathering. Shoggz and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 This actually looks pretty cool in person, but the photos I took don't really capture it well. Regardless, I'm calling it finished. Shoggz, Fanes, MikeC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 The beginnings of the main landing gear now taking shape. Still waiting for my seat harnesses to arrive, so I’m working on other bits now. I love the little rotation gears. MikeC, Azgaron, R Palimaka and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
