phantom Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Next up, 2 Neptunes built for someone else. Only one counts for the group build, as the other is half built. One (the half built) will be dark blue and the other will have the white and grey scheme flown in 1970. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have a had a few Neptune kits, but never hung onto any to build. Next one I find I will be keeping! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I notice the film canister in the box. I cut one in half and filled the lower half with lead weight and stuck it in the lower radome to get mine to stand on the gear. Have fun..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thats what the customer kept the loose clear parts in. He filled the body with pennies but sadly they are loose in there. He did a nice job on the body thus far and I do not want to rip his work apart just to secure the coins. Hopefully I can get to them on Thursday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Cockpit done up, coins added for nose weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Removed the USN bulges, sealed up the new one and did the wings. Now both models are at the same point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Wings are harder to get straight then I remembered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Did you sort out the loose coins in the started build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Shook them into the forward fuselage . Intend to keep as much as the customers own work as I can. Hence , it will become the old school blue as he all ready painted the red wing tips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks, they both need a minor fix before the customer gets them. But I like the way they turned out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
