  1. Small update: passed the 50% mark of opening the surface behind the grills and reinstalling them 😅 Right engine to go.
  2. Many thanks for the information, and great to read where you got your inspiration from. ill try to make it a slender but mean looking black lady 😎
  3. Can you link the build thread? Working on restoring my Italeri Blackbird, and your weathering looks very cool.
  4. Pretty interesting work you’ve done on the Black Beast. Love the weathering effect!
  5. It did work! First grill glued in place and looks quite flat!
  6. 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.
  7. Well, at least it’s open… 😅 15 to go!
  8. Exactly, but leave some borders a little recessed so the grilles can rest on those borders and end up smoothly with the skin.
  9. 1 at a time, let’s see if it delivers 😅
  10. 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… 🤔
  11. Dirty Harry in a slender sleek black Jet sounds like a different category 😂
  12. 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/
  13. 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.
  14. And started with interior of the massive engines, thanks also by watching the techniques via this YouTube:
