yeehah1 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 01-08-07 Hey Guys... a loooong time ago ( in a model-room far, far away), I chimed in on this G/B with this... And then never got around to starting it.... Well, the modelling desk has been cleared (except for ONE very special project...) and I have started it at last...cockpit stuff in the process of being painted...photos later... ( was going to say.."Film at 11" but didn't think anyone would get the movie reference) :D Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
96Delta Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I love the SNJ! I got to ride in the back seat of one a few years ago and fell in love with this venerable trainer. Will be watching this one as I have yet to build "my" plane. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yeehah1 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 03-08-07 update: cockpit painted and assembled.... Will be moving along with fuselage joining tonight. Noticed this while painting.... Any idea why one side looks like it got severely dented...or is it meant to look like that? Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarylH Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Good choice Liam and a good start. The curled sections that seem to have ribs are actually a stainless steel heat shield that covered most of the exhaust pipe. I think the area that's recessed was for clearance for some of the ducting for that big air intake on the side of the fuselage. That's a great old kit. I've built one but I think I'd like to do another as a Korean war spotter aircraft. http://images24.fotki.com/v802/photos/6/65...DSC01288-vi.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yeehah1 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 02-09-07 Made a little progress>>>> The canopies are on and seams are sanded, just awaitin' a paint job...I might not actually get this one finishes in time...there are other commitments pressing for time, but I'll keep plugging away and she what happens..
