AX 365 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 She's done. By no means an award winner, but in my opinion, not a bad result because of the limitations of this kit. There are more photos in the Completed Builds Thread. To those who checked in and provided commentary and constructive criticism, thanks for sharing the ride. I appreciate your feedback Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CorsairMan Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Look great! I should take a pic of the 'remains' of mine. I think its the only surviving model from my early days. It was a paint tester. Anyway, fantastic result from this kit! Its not an easy one to tame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Barney, phantom, CM: Thanks very much for your kind words. No matter how you slice it, the seams on this kit are a bear to get right and even. I did my best but still they show through. Oh well. And now that David and Canuck Model Products have introduced their new CF-100 sheet, hopefully a model manufacturer will come out with a new kit of this iconic 50's and 60's Cold War era fighter.

-Neu- Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sweet build Ax. Tough to find that kit these days... and it doesn't look like the easiest kit to put together either, but yours looks awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thats a darn good looking model AX. You dont see many of these built so its nice to see a good example of one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Neu and falcon20driver, Thanks for your kind words. Small kit + poor fit x lots of Tamiya filler + lots of sanding = Just fooling. It is a tough kit with minimal detail but when all is said and done it looks like a CF-100. In the end, I'm happy with the results. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
