druss135 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Great looking model. You nailed it. Curious what you did with the flaps and slats. Is that aftermarket or scratch? Don R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scotthldr Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks for the kind comments, very much appreciated To answers a few questions The camera bay was a joy to work on, although the fitment into the fuselage wasn't that great, but that was down to slight warping on the kit. The photo etch bay surrounds were a pain to get in and hence why then look like the ground crew have taken a hammer to them The Flaps were simply cut from the wing itself, and with a little bit of work with some styrene sheet to replace what was lost with the saw cut. The outer leading edge slats come with the kit, the inner ones are by Paragon and fitting requires some minor surgery to the wing, not really impressed with them but they do the job. The camouflage was sprayed free hand. I will post undercarriage shots when I get a bit of time but my digital camera is a point and shoot one, so not really that great for taking detailed shots.
