drhornii Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Finally posting pictures.... I added a spare poly-insert from my kit spares so I can add the prop later. There is a hinge/panel lines at the seam and when I glued it, it was not that crisp of a line. I filled the seam then re-scribed a cleaner line. Wingtip light mod, I drilled a small hole in the clear part and filled the hole with Tamiya clear red & green. The real wingtip, the colored part is just a small portion.

Mike J. Idacavage Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Very nice start! I especially like the catch you mader in regards to the navigation lights. This should look pretty good when finished! Have fun modeling! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 More little things that caught my attention....the intake has a splitter or center support inside but the kit does not have one. Simple fix! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Stupid me...I did not read the decal instructions and did not plug the FLIR turret. After putting on the decals, i had to go back and fill the hole. Decals on one side of the dome came off which is why I am searching for a replacement set. Instructions call for the removal of the upper SATCOM dome which is correct for the decals era however the dome was added to IKHANA later on so I will be putting that on. Correct or not, I do not want to fill any more holes.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) All done, check out the "finished builds" section for more. Note, add nose weight (at least 1/4 oz) and this build took more weight since it does not have the turret. I added about another 1/8 oz for a total of 3/8 oz.
