TomCooper Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I keep returning here to see what's new. AB-feathers are looking great - and I'm looking forward for some more photos too. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hi Tom! I just added vertical fins... :) And got my exhausts resin casting from my friend raftav. the parts are incredible, very sharp. I will try to work on it soon :) cheers! Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hello Micro update with the work on the wings. You have to plug wing extensions. very curious that the contact do not follow a panel line. KH offers a very interesting crenel like fit. It will need some CA glue and putty: Moreover, the plug is thicker than the wing. Sanding needed... Then, we got heat shrink on the external surfaces: So... putty: And sanding: Cheers Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rom Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hi Tom Heat shrink: when the hot plastic retracts in the mold when cooling. It creates hollow... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KH just placed the reinforcement where they pleased. AMK in their MiG-31 they smartly placed all the reinforcement on the backside of each panel line, so the sink marks if there were any would be hidden or just say it's the stressed metal.

rom Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hello Small update My friend raphael did an amazing job correcting the exhausts. He shortened the outer petals and detailed the inner ones. Outer petals: Inner Petals: Cutting of the support: You have to remove the plastic ring: I find the parts very convincing. Cant wait to paint them to reveal the details. I also filled the huge trenches at the fin bases: Cheers! Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rom Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi ! I couldnt resist to buy the impressive barracuda's exhausts. It is truly impressive detailled resin parts. So, then I couldnt resit to chop of the parts from their blocks, and to do dry fit testing. Sadly, I had to remove the Afterburner ducts because it does not fit with Barracuda exhauts. It was tricky but I finaly managed to extract them. After some triming, I could have pu the resin on the Foxbat: I hope to be able to continue this build soon!

Silenoz Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Nice work. what is the white stuff you used to apply the structure at the back of the canopy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is an acrylic putty found for 2€ in a supermarket. It looks like Deluxe Perfect plastic putty, but not quite the same for the texture and workability. I let it dry for a few minutes, then I can shape it with a toothpick. Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silenoz Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 thx for the info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Roman That is most excellent work and your photos are nice and sharp too. Always a good thing As for that putty at the rear of the canopy, I assume that is to represent some quilted padding on the inside of the canopy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
