marine4 ever Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 the harrier has been started slow and steady! the SJU-4 ejection seat is done with some belts added and ankle straps. and the instrument panel has most of the detail. i'll just have to go back after everything dries and touch up and add clear coat to the screens.

Rasczak Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Looking good. Gotta say, that was pretty damned fast... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marine4 ever Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Looking good. Gotta say, that was pretty damned fast... you're kidding right? two days approx 6.5 hrs for those two parts? at that rate it will take me somewhere around 120 hours which is about a month and a half of everyday building! and the panel isn't done yet. i still must pick out some more details in color yet.

Well, I started my Harrier back at the beginning of this build and will just have it finished by the Nov, 10th deadline........ That's almost 6 months :blink: Looks like your off to a great start there Dan. Nice detail work on the IP. I'm looking forward to watching you power this one out by the end of this GB build. Now I'm off to spend a little quality time in the paint barn with my Harrier. Looks like we'll be finished about the same time. Semper Fi, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VG 33 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi This is a well done office and the pilot should be happy to work there. Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rasczak Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 http://www.scalespot.com/ Hey Dan, check out that site. There is a workbench review on the kit, might help you out with some of the tight spots, and give you some hints about some of the gaps that come along as you build. Like the intakes.....

There is a workbench review on the kit, might help you out with some of the tight spots, and give you some hints about some of the gaps that come along as you build. Like the intakes..... you know raz, i was perfectly content to do this kit OOB with minimal scratch building! now i see a wheel bay that can be scratch built! now i can't get that son-of-a- bleep out of my head!!!! so now i have to do some backsteps and see if i can make a bay to fit inside an already closed office, thank you so much for making my life just a little harder!!! Seriously nice link you sent me. lots of tips for me to enhance this bird! Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rasczak Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That's why I'm glad that I was sent that link AFTER I had put the office on the fuse. I saw that wheel bay and my jaw dropped. I wanted to do that so bad, but I'm too far along already. I'm just filling seams and putting on photoetch, then she'll be ready for some coloring. I'm going all out too, I have the Crayola 128 color box! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marine4 ever Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 thanks to Rasczak and me not being one to shy away from a challenge. i've decided to tackle the wheel bay situation. so everything else comes to a stop until this gets taken care of. this ensures that i will not get done in time! :wub: so here's where i'm at so far. the basic idea of the front wheel bay! wiring and the last wall will go on after the styrene bits. i'm still not sure what i'm going to do with the doors. the kit parts(whats left ) look bad. and here's my kids!!! aren't they cute. the little guy is already practicing to be a marine!!

HS-4Grandson Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Dan, if you want I have the resin doors from the Aires wheel bay set that I attempted to use if you want the doors let me know and I will dig them out of the move mess and ship them to you.

marine4 ever Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 well not alot in the way of progress. so far i've managed to open the wheel bays without much peripheral damage :wacko: that makes me happy(i hate filling and sanding mistakes). and i've assembled some smaller bits while i research the bays. hopefully they should be done in a few days. i'm running out of copper wire. hopefully i have enough. Once again thanks Raz(funking ***)! like i said slow and steady. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
