Hi again. Some more pics to follow. Here you can see the oval exhaust that I have added behind the left main landing gear bay: You can also notice from the previous pics that I have cut both the front and rear flaps, with the intention of depict them on extende position. Also I have drilled those little holes on the engine bays as I have found the on some walkarouns... Some more tiny details added from the photoetched set and from scratch on the rear fuselage: And also, some detail instaled on the inetrior of the intake trunks: -

Some detail were added to the external side walls of the intake trunks, since these are part of the main wells: Next step was the detail painting of these areas, in anticipation of installing the air intakes: Also painted the front wheel bay: And that,s all for now. As always comments and sugestions are welcome. Cheers. Juan -

Hi again and Happy New Year all! After the Christmas season I was able to resume the work on this kit. I started by detailing the main landing gear wells. Removed the casted detail on the upper fuselaje that conform the roof of the bay, and I replaced it with these photoetched parts from a set of Wolfpack-d. As you can see, in the lower of the pic I began to add some detail made of copper wire and plastic card and strips. Here some more: And this is other section of the right wheel well fully detailed: -

hi Dan! I am a bit embarrased, as I, ve checked those instructions I said and no top view of the said aircraft appears... i have also been saerching around the web and found this web LINK. Is this the "mother Load" you say? Hi Matt! many thanks for your compliments! RGDS Juan -
Hi again! With my Phantom conveniently stored and put on hold for some time I quickly was able to start with a new project. This kit has been on my stash for some time and I always have a feeling for this aircraft and I really like those twin seat versions of some fighters. The kit itself is well know and has its detractors and bad reviews, but I think you can get a good result from it... I will be using some aftermarket: Dream Model photoetched set for cockpit and exterior details, Master pitot: Aires buener cans, quickboost ejection seats and

I also opened the IFR door: And scratchbuilt it: The tailhook also needs some maintenance, right? So I cut it apart : And built its ineterior from scratch as well as the cover that has been removed: Also the opened area on the front fuselage has been rebuiltas I was not very happy with my previous atempt: And tha,s all for now and for some time... Sadly I have to admit that I have been overwhelmed by the complication that I have imposed on myself with the mode -

JFVicente replied to JFVicente's topic in In-Progress Pics
Hi again! I must say sorry one more time for all the delays with the updates on this project. I have involved myself on a very demanding project that includes a lot of scrachtbuilding and have been suffering some frustration with the slow progress that i am achieving... Anyway, here you have some more pics. As you can see in this photo I had opened a record on the left side of the fuselage: Although it already had the two parts (front and rear) of the fuselage assembled, during the work with the kit these were accidentally separated. This allowed me to open -

Hi Dan! I,ve come across to your post by accident just now. FYI this jet in particular is present on the Authentic Decals sheet #AD72-10. I own it, so I will search for it and I can scan the instructions for you if you are still interested. Just let me know. RGDS Juan -

Trying again... At the beginning of the thread I had shown the front fuselage with the nose cone (the radome) cut appart. My intention is to show the radar extended, as being maintained. Here is it: More to follow... -
