chrish Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Started the day after the "Misses bushi" zero hit the shelf. Never being one to adhere to instructions, I started with the cockpit then jumped to the landing gear and gear bays, then the engines...all over the map like a fart in a tornado using pictures for reference from an ancient book (purely representative) here's the gear legs; should be finished in a day or so...

chrish Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Thanks Martin! I could, in many cases build straight from the box and be happy. But when there's a complete lack...nearly a complete lack, of detail in the gear bays I took a few hours and added some detail via left over F/A 18 parts, pewter wire from a metal figure kit and some lead wire. I also added some electrical cabling using some land line phone wire. some thought for accuracy but more for aesthetic value This may take longer than I initially thought Thanks for looking Uncarina, LSP_Kevin, Martinnfb and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Great start! Looking forward to seeing this one come together Matt Martinnfb and chaos07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos07 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Those wire bundles are looking sharp. I need to grab some phone wire for my stash on future builds. I've also seen that the ribbon cables from older computers have some really fine wire in them as well. Great work so far! Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 a little more progress on the model today I'm thinking thee vents are the gas purge exit for the gun? In any case the kit had the slots filled with flash and poorly defined openings, I spent a bit of time with a hobby knife and Tamiya razor saws cleaning them up and the other slots as well, that little task required thinning the plastic from behind then cutting the vents open, again with a knife and razor saw and the Reskit exhaust upgrades require a bit of surgery to the rear of the model as well....shades of an F-14 build coming back to me...
