UGUR KENEL Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) I have built this model about 7 months ago. It took approximately 2 months beside the my job. Model is new released Academy, box number 12434 special edition.I think new mold, very good detail and almost no fitting problem. It was very enjoyfull to build this kit.Because no problem as i told before. Especially canopy fits very well. Thats why i decided to make some scratch build to this easy kit according to referance. No detail and decal set was used. All from box and scratch build. First some finished kit photos and link Complete Model First i cut the gun bay doors,sanded and polished from both side of fuselage. I opened the cooling vents.two on each side and rebuilt the vent door from evergreen plastic. New doors and panel for gun bay.

UGUR KENEL Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Base of gun area, intake duct bypass door, gun gas vent doors, intergar and upper steps.Built with same evergreen and stretched sprue. I reopened all gauge in the cockpit, i added some switches from different diameter of stretched sprue and a lot of them to the seat.I didnt change side cockpit panel coming from the kit. I cut flaps to make it down position. Slats are easy. Kit gives slats separate so no need cut. Landing gear area.I used mainly soft lead wire and different type of power cable.Some tamiya tape for detail and also it is very easy hold all wire to proper position. Same work on airbrake. And ready to paint. See you soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A coat of Tamiya Clear X-22, decals and again a coat of X-22. And then weathering with various colour of acrylics. Thats all.
