Small update: passed the 50% mark of opening the surface behind the grills and reinstalling them 😅 Right engine to go.- 100 replies

Can you link the build thread? Working on restoring my Italeri Blackbird, and your weathering looks very cool.

Now we’re talking! A nice open space behind the grille. Now lower the side areas so the grill can flush with the skin of the beast.- 100 replies

Exactly, but leave some borders a little recessed so the grilles can rest on those borders and end up smoothly with the skin.- 100 replies

Not so happy yet with the appearance of the grilles on the engines. They would give a far better picture if they are open from underneath. Im going to take 1 off and try to make it open underneath to see the difference. At least somebody did it before… 🤔- 100 replies

Acc Eduard instructions, the new photo etched grilles should be placed over the kits’ grilles, by filling them first with putty. However, they don’t align with the surface, and are just a little higher. I found this thread of another build where original grilles were cut out so that nee ones could be placed inside, and align with a smooth surface. Worth a shot? https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235027443-i-couldnt-resist-sr-71a-blackbird/page/2/- 100 replies

The moment you discover that the front control stick is still tidy attached to the box with parts, and the canopy is glued in place … 🤦🏼♂️ Anyway, it could not have been seen after all so no big drama.- 100 replies
