Here every couple of days.

Good question, maybe it looks darker because of the shadows. I doubt it's exhaust staining because the gear and tailhook are enclosed in-flight. If I had to choose, I would use the same color and finish of the main wheel hubs.

Yes! It is, the 3D printer itself is a worthy investment because there are lots of 3D files available for accessories and even complete kits. About software, I'm currently working with the free version of Fusion 360 and have made some parts for my models after quickly learning from YouTube tutorials. From my experience and knowing the way you work, I'm confident you won't regret it. (I recommend that you get the washing-curing station for the printer also; this is the cumbersome part of the process, not the printing.) Carlos

Great work with this model, love the paint and weathering job.

As a fan of Monogram's kits, I do share your impression; there are few aftermarket options, but as mentioned above, most of the brands that made them are now gone. Fortunately, there are some options like Aires, Eduard, Metallic Details (to name a few) that still make them from time to time; ResKit is worth mentioning because they tend to design accessories for newer kits' brands and then refurbish them for the older ones, maybe they will do the same for the Century series in the future. If Revell, or whoever has Monogram's molds, re-releases them, I believe we will ha

You did a great job on this old kit and made an impressive model of it; the 1/32 decals look spot-on. Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to the Goblin. Carlos

Hello gents I would like to share some progress on one of my current projects. This is a 3D print of the intake grill for Tamiya´s F-117, which I have been working on for some time. The first iterations had the same number of rows and columns as the real airplane; the results were pretty convincing, but the holes didn't form completely because I'm at the limit of the resolution of my printer; still, they are usable and could be a great improvement for the kit. The version in the pictures has 80% the number of rows and columns, the h

Wondering if the plastic has the detail upgrades of the Hobby Net Work Kit.

Beautiful model, love the weathering.

Yes, I should have said a rebox of the Lindberg one; I'll try to get a second-hand one locally, but the new offering might be more accessible in my case. Now I see where the F-102 cockpit comes from.

There is a step-by-step build of the 1/48, amazing kit. linky

What a nice kit of a beautiful plane; there is a build in Scalemates that could be useful as a reference. Looking forward to your build.

Not real for sure, anyway, the Pogo would be an original and fascinating subject, given your skills, you can turn it into a great-looking model. It caught my attention that you mentioned the F-102 cockpit, is it the same for the Pogo? If so, I might get the new Atlantis release of the kit.

You may try again now, sometimes it works if you or someone else makes a new post without including pics.
