Daryl J. Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Alright! A rescribe! Mario it's looking very good thus far. How does the plastic feel while scribing? Does it have that crisp texture or is it more chalky? Additionally, what tools are you using for rescribing? Daryl J. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use Xacto No.11 blade, kinda rudimentary if you'd ask me, but it works Take Care!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Better man than me Mario, taking on a total rescribing project! MikeJ (I will buy the Trumpy Vigilante) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 MikeJ (I will buy the Trumpy Vigilante) Hi Mike, I have the Trumpeter Vigi in 1/72 and it's quite nice! OTOH, a project like Mario's is sometimes more satisfying (why are we in this hobby anyway?) :D Looking good so far, Mario! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bullet101 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Great work Mario, watch out for the join between the aft end of the main fuse and the smaller part where the nozzles go as that has one hell of an awful fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Great work Mario, watch out for the join between the aft end of the main fuse and the smaller part where the nozzles go as that has one hell of an awful fit.

MaRiO FDZ Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) Update - Fuselage glued and sanded. Tail cone on the works. Elevator working Take Care Edited October 4, 2006 by MaRiO FDZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Mario Looking good. I am surprised that you are building this kit as the Trumpeter kit makes the building of a 1:72 Vigilante a lot easier. The challenge of updating this Airfix kit looks like fun though! I do like what you are doing, so more power to you. MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 THIS IS ONE BIG SUCKER!!!!!! It is bigger than a MiG-25 (height, width and length), but the LG is stalky, I doubt it will stay straight. Next, some touchups on the paint :D YAY!!!! Whatcha think? I tinted the Canopy Green with Tamiya clear in order to hide the spartan cockpit... besides, it looks kick butt as it is :) Still to do, also, FOD covers Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
