Clumber Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I have a bashed-together OEZ and Monogram SU-25 that is currently in time-out (and has been for over a year) while I get the courage to paint it as I want. I used the OUTSTANDING Neomega cockpit for it and highly recommend it. In fact, I have actually purchased some kits that I wasn't previously that interested in, but did in order to use more Neomega pits! Here the link to the Froggy pit Yours looks terrific and do get ahold of the OEZ when you can, it's a bit nicer than the Monogram... in some areas... as I said, I couldn't find happiness with either kit on its own. lol AMS'ed that build right into time-out, I did! ~tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicko1 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Wow FrereLeO! Your work is always some of the best that I see on these forums. Keep it up! Simply amazing! Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 watching this one closely! I look forward to seeing how you tackle the inaccuracies of the Monogram kit... if it's gonna be anything like that cockpit you made, I can't wait to see! :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joerg Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Good start there. As some kind of motivation I include a link to the Frogfoot which my friend Jens built some years back. He also used the Mono kit, but modified it heavily using parts of the KPkit and also scratch built stuff. Here´s the link:http://www.modellversium.de/galerie/artikel.php?id=796 Cheers, Joerg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
centuryfan Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Bonjour, that's really amazing. Can't wait to see it finished! As I have now (almost) finished my BA thesis, I'll go home tomorrow to get some work on my F11F-1 done. Your in pogress shots are always a great motivation - whatever model I'm building. :( A+ Bernd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FrereLeO Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 I rectified the mistake on the tail. I cut out the fuselage in front of the vertical stabilizer to put it in the axis : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 I remade the metal sheet above the seat : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 I cut the doors: one electronic bay on each side, canon bay below. The nose-mounted electro-optical system will be realized later : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 The nose landing gear bay was remade because I want to open the second door. The plumbing will be added later, after the painting : Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrereLeO Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) The accessories which will be inside it: two boxes and two oxygen bottles : On the left, the original part. Next step, the canon bay Bye Edited February 6, 2007 by FrereLeO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Looking great FrereLeO, quick question, how did you make the raised rivets in the nose gear bay? :huh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piotrek.S. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Impressive work!!! Keep going. It`s not my scale but I`ll take a seat in first row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imwhoim01 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Your work is very inspiring One question. What do you use to cut out panels on the fuselage. In this picture the plastic seems really thick, but you managed to get a clean cut. What tools did you use? Keep on the good work <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PapaSmurf630 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I reckon he has laser eyes.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tango 1 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thats some incredible detail work! I think the seat and I/P are superb. Darren. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan T. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Looking great FrereLeO, quick question, how did you make the raised rivets in the nose gear bay? I was thinking the same thing, How did you make those black rivets? Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Once again you've made a wonderful start to what I'm sure will be another exellent build FrereLeO Have the KP kit in the stash so think this one will serve as inspiration for the day it finaly makes the journey to the work-bench.

FrereLeO Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Thanks for your comments B) Your work is very inspiring :) One question. What do you use to cut out panels on the fuselage. In this picture the plastic seems really thick, but you managed to get a clean cut. I follow the engraved lines with a #11 blade. It’s a long work but the result is very good. I reckon he has laser eyes.. No laser eyes, alas. But soon, glasses I was thinking the same thing, How did you make those black rivets?Ivan It’s Pebeo Cerne Relief It’s a product used to imitate stained glass. They are applied directly from the tube with a needle to make a raised rivet. :lol: Edited February 6, 2007 by FrereLeO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Su-34 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thats GREAT! I just love open panels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skuki Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Really nice progress indeed. I didn't know that this kit has engraved panel lines. Very good scratchbuild skills!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
