zaxos345 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Good evening guys, better late than never so here i am with another update, this time dealing with the back end of the model, turbine and exhaust area. But before going to this, i made the seat belts from tamiya tape. I did not want to use the photoedge ones as they were wrong. I only used the metallic buckles. I used tamiya tape because i wanted replicate the fabric effect on them. Hope i finally managed it. Then i started dealing with the back end and especially with the part of the fuselage surrounding the exhaust pipe. At the beginning i tried to correct the wrong oval shape of the exhaust portion of the fuselage. For that i used a simple jig made out of sprue and hot water. I managed it a bit i could not totally fix it but i tried to maintain the proportions. Next i cut off this piece from both halves in order to glue them and to build all the internal detail. Very time consuming work but i think worth the time. In order to keep the rings at same distance and also parallel to each other i made i made some distance spacers. ....

zaxos345 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) ... Next i started dealing with the internal structure in front of the turbine. I had to make 3 of those profiles the most inner one where the kits turbine is going to sit and the two others in front of it. .....

zaxos345 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) .... Next it was the engine. The one that the kit offers is....... i did not like it so i started detailing it, first i cut of the conical shape in front and and shaved all the details leaving only the turbine blades. After that i started building my details.... Edited July 14, 2016 by zaxos345 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
