ron Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Manuel, is that kit still engraved for the forward fuse and raise panel lines for the rest? I built it in the early 80's and it was that way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alpagueur Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 What is the CAM set? Anthony, maybe, could it be the GE exhaust nozzles? (I can't see the Teknics conversion...) Manuel, I will be following this thread very closing, as I will have to build the same kit (B-version, in -102 markings). I own the Golden Dragons wheels, too, and they really are good for any B/D versions. The bird you chose is very spectacular. Luca Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manuel J. Armas S. Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 And here we go! Detailing and updating the left and right fuselage, the red part is for sanding and blue to fill. After that, I want to make a more panel lines and detailing this part. Greetings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel_B Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Manuel, you have the IFR door cover shown as an area needing to be filled. Don't forget that on that cruise, they removed the doors and left the probe and probe bay uncovered: :P Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie M. Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'll be looking forward to your progress. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any photos for that specific aircraft, even though it would have been the "A" version back in my day. I remember when they started taking the IFR doors off during Desert Storm. I watched one get ingested during a launch and FOD the engine out. It was not pretty. I'm glad you picked the Bounty Hunters. I always loved their colors. I know these are the Deltas, but I thought it might be worth looking at.

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 looks great!! I've got one sitting in the closet just begging to be built.... While your at the opening up of things (and good call for the Naca vents) drill out those vents under the gun. -brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimz66 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Looking great. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to keep tabs on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Sweet! I'm building a Tamiya Cat right now as well....at basically the same stage. Will be watching closely! Looks good so far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel J. Armas S. Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi: In the frontal fuselage it lodges the cockpit and the Main Landig Gear. The Kit of tamiya offers detailing with many deficiencies, too many marks of injection and cut wiring, seeing photos I realized that can be fixed with something of Scratch so... I don´t finish the details yet, I have to make a few details more, the wires, painting and weathering of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Watching your progress closely. Am debating myself whether or not my scatch-building skills are enough to conquer all of the landing gear bays. I was planning on adding details but not starting from scratch like yourself... oh well. Just curious, for the open NACA vents below the cannon, are you going to stick some card in behind it or just leave them open like that? Looks fantastic so far!

Eddie M. Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I admire your attention to detail. Great work.:) Eddie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Soon the white paint and the weathering and de wires. Greetings... Edited August 10, 2007 by Manuel J. Armas S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel J. Armas S. Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi everyone: continuing with this Tomcat, detailing the Nose gear bay, I tried it to detail to which the scale allows.
