Cunumdrum61 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 That is looking great! is the landing gear as fragile as what I read on the net from many that have bought it? Or are their sinkrates just to high when landing them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twhite80 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Even the faux stenciling inside the radar dome looks convincing. This is one outstanding project. I am following with interest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dax Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Mareku, the wiring in the radar section, I'm wondering if you can share what you used and how? More specifically, in the red/blue section to the right where the cabling is mounted to the wall, it thickens, almost like couplers... what are you using there? Really nice effect!

chuck540z3 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 When I first saw this "build", I thought, "What can you really do with a pre-made model"? Now I know! This work is EXCELLENT, especially all your scratch-building, which I could never do to the same level. I look forward to future updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
