FASTEAGLE107 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Great scheme (can’t say the opposite 😂). It comes with beautiful goodies. I will follow your build for sure. Stéphane Edited February 17, 2021 by FASTEAGLE107 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Everything (except the decals) came from trades with Don G. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Nice scheme. Nice set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) So far, all I have done is cut off the A engine housings. Lots of cutting, but nothing to see yet.......Tomorrow I should have something to look at. Edited February 18, 2021 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I thought you would be done by now 😁 Geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Nooooo....this one will take a while. Just have the new engines drying for today. Sand the extra putty off tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 New boat tail. Much better detail and longer tube. Great deal of resin for the cockpit. Colour comes tomorrow and more cockpit detail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 The good old Tamiya moving wing gears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Cockpit, seems some resin is missing so I will have to raid kit parts to finish it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MA Cooke Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Wow....looking impressive. I fear that at some point I'll have to build in 1/32 - because of aging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 I get that. May have to unload more of my 1/48 scale built kits. Aging myself into a smaller house one day I'm sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Up on her turkey legs. Starting to look like a Tomcat. The Tamiya legs are much easier and solid then the Hasegawa legs in 48th I usually do. Edited February 24, 2021 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yes, the back area behind the rear ejection seat shattered too. Good thing I did not toss the kit parts yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
