Tomcat Fan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It was about a time I join in to this GB, sory for delay, I rarely participate in GB's and even rarely take photos during building stages.. but anyhow this is how it looks after 1,5 months of work. Old Italeri Phantom with some extras, Aires Cpit, and some skratch building, rescribed the whole thing, reveted it, remove the flaperons, added position lights, slats on dog tooth made from skratch,airbrakes opened up, added some things to wheel bays, wiring to follow. It is in primer ans some preshading done... ready for more. C pit instaled Air brakes are opened up wingtips Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomcat Fan Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Aigore I take inspiration from your great build of your Phantom from 2010 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 remove the flaperons, Aren't those just flaps? ;) anyway, it would be good if we'd display our IRIAF models one day together ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Fan Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Jup.. you are right... and why to display Iriaf planes together.. good idea.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wait, is that the old Testors mold? If so, sir, my hat's off to you. No one would recognize it as a starting point now.

Aigore Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Mmmmmm...paint! Looking really good there, tho the sand color could be a bit more towards mustard yellow. Cellphone cams are really not all that bad nowdays.... I did well with a 2megapixel ericsson phone camera for a long time before I got myself my first camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Fan Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Those 2 photos taken with cellphone are cr**p, not good at all. just for the first taste, sand colour on the model is very diferent shade, on those 2 photos it looks 2 much yellow and sandy...
