Kinetic CF188 1/48 Production Line x4 Completed

In order to change the N2 bottle you have to have a handle to open the clamshell... Cut a notch into the LAU, I place in my hand and cut at the same time t ensure symmetry. The Drill your small holes... Then with your pre made handles, a drop of glue on a sprue rod...cut to length... With a drop of Tamiya thin glue...done. Cheers AFM -

Thank you, I agree, they can make a nice difference. I love it when friends of mine who worked on the aircraft and they pick out the details. Cheers AFM -

Flight controls... Here I am starting to add the Flight controls. The flaps and ailerons added already as the position are fixed and predetermined by the flap/aileron actuators. Here I will show I add the Flap/Aileron shrouds... First I place in position and adjust with tabs of tape. I place flush with the airframe...this maintains good surface area contact with the wing. Then once I place my glue, Tamiya thin, I then place a piece of tape to position the shroud in the down position. There should be a small gap between the shroud and the flap/ailerons. -

Final Jet in this series...795 Some of the final parts to be applied. The underside where it will house the Sniper Pod and the connection points for the flight controls. Gently sanded the connection points for the flight controls, I wanted a solid connection point. Also added the connection point for the Stn 6. Cheers AFM -

Added some details... Net over the Hell hole. Added the Gun Electrical Switch...used a long rode and glued in place to ensure it was sitting square... Then snipped off to correct length and painted the tip after cut. I made it a bit longer than normal for the better look in scale. Will re-evaluate in a day to ensure I like this length. Love the wax sticks, AMAZON has them from adding jewels to finger nails...cheep. Easy peasey... Enjoy!! Cheers AFM -

Small update, just came back from camping this past week. Added an extra tank for the proper config and added the protective coating on the noses...and a little but of weathering. I also used magnets to attach the pylons. Cheers AFM -
