phantom Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 A month left for the GB, so one left. 1/32 CT-133 Silver Star (T-bird) ejection seat bird from AETE in the 1980s. In flight of course with the back seat LEAVING the plane. Just have to figure where I am going to find the 1/32 pilots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falcon20driver Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Great progress, it's coming along nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks, got more done today then I thought I would. Now I am pondering a idea. I have to use pilots from a Tamiya F-4 Phantom. Which of course is wrong for any era, but the helmets are of course subject to modifacation. So should I continue with my 1980s scheme or go old school 1960? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Guess its 1980s, the 60s had silver tanks. That red went on perfectly so I am not changing it now!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Oh, I am starting to like this one..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Had to reshape the pilot. Straightened the arms stuck full down against the "Gs". Also lengthened the legs but they still look too short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 That is a beautiful color scheme. This is gonna be so cool looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks. Right now I am wondering if the blanking plate behind the front cockpit was black or clear. Right now I am going smoky clear kind of like the cut out side windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
