toadwbg Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Nice scratch work. Is this the old Fujimi kit that is actually 1/50 scale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Wow! Awesome detailing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Look'n great. FYI in case u don't know, some of the stuff on the right console for the navigator needs to be removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Filipe Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hi Guys Thanks for the support Komoras the Bronco is fully primed and waiting further developments, I haven't done anything on it for a long time now. Benner thanks, I have chopped off all that detail. Here are th latest pics on this build. Due to a computer crash all pics I had taken of the cockpit painted were lost. Unfortunately. The intakes are in place and the fuselage is almost fully assembled. Now I´m going to finish it up and start applying all the necessary putty. Still lots of work to do! To be continued!

Filipe Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi Guys Here´s a small update on the Intruder. Wings and most of exterior parts glued in place, still tons of putty and sanding ahead. Its starting to look like an Intruder! To be continued! Hope you enjoy Feel free to comment! Best regards Filipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmashedGlass Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Filipe, how did you go about making those intakes? Those turned out superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Coming along nicely. The extra detail you've added is bringing it to life. This may come a bit late but the BN's instrument panel area that is now mostly empty was actually all gray. Only thing left on that side that would be black would be the small 7 day clock and fuel off load panel. Hope that is helpful (and not critical). cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Filipe Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi Guys Thank you SmashedGlass. The intakes were made from photo paper. I made 2 pieces for each intake. Inner and outer. Them glued the bigger one, the outer in place with CA. This one is the most important. The inner one you cant hardly see when in place inside the aircraft. When it was done I applied the inner paper and curved it to join the outer one in place. Them with the blue tape and CA glue I held everything in place until dry. When joining them together I used the part included, the blades, to dry fit both parts of the paper. If you look at this photo you can see in the intake to the left the line were both pieces of paper join together. Hope it helps. Thank you Gary, feel free my friend, thats what forums are for! I looked up that issue when I was building it and came across both colors, ended up going with the black. Looks nicer in my opinion. Check out the photo below Best regards Filipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POMPEO Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 nice project, I wish to build a KA-6D in the future 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi Filipe, Nice work on the intakes ... They look really nice looking into them from the front. Nice find on the pic with the black panel. Must have been some years after I worked on them. There's also a lot more stuff on the BN's panel than we had. Again, really enjoying your work here. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmashedGlass Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Very helpful, Filipe. I'll give that a try on one of my next jet aircraft, thanks for the tip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Filipe Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Guys Thanks for the support. Looking forward to that Pompeo, its a big bird in 1/72. In 1/48, its got to be a monster I´m sure! I have a bit of research done on it, if you want, I can mail it to you when you set sail! Gary you worked on them! Impressive :) I have never seen one live. I would love to. Have you ever taken a ride in one? I´m glad SmashedGlass, I also have on the bench a Gina R3 FAP Tiger Meet Nr5452, don't you have a post about yours? Best regards Filipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmashedGlass Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 No, I didn't post it up on ARC Filipe; I do have it up on another forum. It's a very crude kit, the Airfix mold was made back in 1959.....I'm just trying to make acceptable enough for an in-flight display. One day I will have to get a modern kit of the Gina. Mine is here: Airfix G.91R Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Filipe Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Guys I had that airfix some years back now, never finished it dough. Mine is the Revell molding, not the best kit, requires some work! Lots of putty and sanding! Yours is looking good, some great improvements you got there! Congrats What scheme are you going to do? Here´s mine, the Tiger Meet R3 from Our Air force Nr5452 http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=266777 Best regards Filipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmashedGlass Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'll be using the kit decals for 14 Gruppo 2 Stormo in 1980. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
