Took a notion and started this one this morning.
Just after 3am; [03.04]
Two hours later; looks like not much done, but actually there is.
The cockpit tub made up and painted. The exhaust and lead weight [5g] fitted to bottom half of fuselage, cockpit edges in upper fuselage half painted. Slipper tank halves glued up. Off picture; the wheels are painted.
The cockpit glazing is a glass house so I spent some time on the cockpit interior; there is no detail nor decals for the i/ps so I cut up and stuck some Phantom ones on.
Just a few minutes after taking that last photo; the fuselage and main wings all together;
I didn't try the wings before gluing all together, they had a noticeable anhedral, so some glue along the root join and tape to pull them up to a neutral angle. Slipper tanks fitted and some Vallejo putty in the gaps.
Time now; 06.34
Next; reduce that putty, fit u/c legs & doors, radar T, tailplanes and airbrake doors
Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
