Never did get mine quite finished, had a few paint issues and lost interest! Up until that point I really enjoyed the build thought it a great kit that went together very nicely.as you say paint instructions could be better but look forward to seeing how this turns out and nice job on the cockpit

Many thanks gents, always nice when a little crowd gathers. My other half tested positive for covid on Wednesday and timed it perfectly for my leave from work She’s doing really well and I’m the butler service, thankfully so far it doesn’t like me. Plus side is extra desk time. The kit is still going together well and I’ve made good progress, the main construction is done just the fiddly bits to sort out. Looks like the guy who did the instructions walked off the job as there’s some parts not covered and even less painting guides. I was going to include missiles but they’re not covered at all so just just drop tanks. They’re not difficult but it’s more looking stuff up
Here’s where I’m at.

Looking good Mick. Very much the missile with stubby wings isn’t it.

Mick,

That's coming on very nicely indeed.

Good to hear your wife is doing ok. My wife tested positive first and then I tested positive two days before she was clear, so we had to rely on the kids for a couple of days.

As I'm trying to stay away from everyone i had my son help with moving all my modelling stuff into his room, which is our quarantine space.

Keep up the great work.

ATB.

Andrew

Hi Mick
Very nice looking cockpit. Good progress on the build despite the rather poor instructions.

Sorry Mick, late in as usual (story of my life). See you're on a wingy thing kick now and this one is looking good so far. You must be enjoying yourself between butlering and building. I hope the good lady is doing better and has a speedy recovery. Shame about the missiles and the lousy destructions. You could maybe fake them and add them to the mix though. Just a thought..........

Prost

That's looking great Mick !
The cockpit is a piece of art all on it's own

Covid is slowly going away so had a bit of desk time. The main body of the aircraft is ready for undercoat. I thought I’d add a couple of hydraulic lines to the undercarriage. When they’re painted up I’ll push them into place.

 

[scottie3158]

Mick,
Glad to know your on the mend. Nice work with the hydraulic lines.
