fulcrum1 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Following! Does the kit come with the corrected canopy or did you have to buy it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The C release had some corrections from the A release, including the canopy, but I hadn’t heard that they updated the A boxing with the fixing. They still haven’t fixed those horrible upper wing roots, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hello, It's a C boxing.... -A new nozzle a little longer than that from the box and a 1/72 F-16 part for the turbine. - the air intake, which occupied me a few milliseconds .... Well, it's already more like a U-2A (sure not perfect, but better than OOB...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Mark Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I don't think I've ever seen a wip for one of these before, very interesting. And great work on the paint job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Underdog Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Roadrunner, I can imagine how big the model is at 1/48, with the U-2's wings being so long. But, as others have posted - you've done a stupendous job with the Black paint, if indeed its black. Most realistic black schemes are actually not totally black, and from these photos it seems like this is the case... very well done!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great work Roadrunner on those corrections! Looks much more like a U-2A than OOB. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
