Makes me want to dust off the the RF-101B that I am in the process of refinishing. Thanks. When this voodoo is done then I will renovate my existing 1/48 SR-71 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Light belly wash, and it came out as I wanted to, not too dirty but showing panel lines and all details you want to see. Also installed the huge air break flaps, hope they will stay on until she can stand on her feet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BastianD Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 First time to stand on her feet! Although this main landing gear is soooo brittle, can’t imagine why Monogram decided to do this. someone else made the same comments: “Main landing gear attachment is VERY weak – it’s simply a butt joint against the top of the wing with retraction linkages providing only minimal support. I wish Monogram would have sacrificed some accuracy for a pin-and-groove attachment instead. As it is, you end up with a very heavy model that absolutely cannot tolerate any side-to-side movement. ” https://modelingmadness.com/review/korean/us/levin101b.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BastianD Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 A hell of a job to get these support struts in place when main gear is already installed 😅 But they’re in and they make the gear stronger, just need to finish them in the right colours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
