madmike Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Ray My one guards the router, I blacked the cockpit glass out to hide the hunchback... Looking good so far! MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmike Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Ray Have you had those super secret microscopic vision implants added or something? Fantastic work and at 1:144!! ;) MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Animal Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Raymond, what a beaut. I could only DREAM of building something like that. I just don't have the patience to detail the cockpit of something that small. My F-14A Bombcat is on hold due to a missing canopy. Bought a replacement kit to cannibalize for the part.

Old72s Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Show me the fit of the nozzles please. My F-15A ASAT (DML/Dragon, looks like the same kit) has nozzles that are a good 1 mm smaller in diameter than the back of the fuselage. No way to fudge that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 After I posted my F-15 pic, I realised mine is the Hobbycraft release. The kit looks identical based on the pics Ray has posted... MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
