Hi,
First time I've gotten round to posting on here - mainly because I'm such a slow builder.
This is a scratch build of a fighter featured in one of Gerry Anderson's later series, 'Terrahawks'. I always liked the wedge shape and thanks to some meticulous research (not by me, I hasten to add), most of the kit parts have been identified, enabling me to scale up studio-scale plans. Although the original was made from perspex I opted for plasticard as I'm more used to working with it.
The first step was to make the thing strong enough to support itself and withstand being picked up!
The side wings are split into three parts so had to be connected with a 'runner' between them.
Once the main shell was complete, I got on with adding the kit parts, mainly from German tanks, and carving the cab out of balsa.
The tailplane is plasticard with some Plastruct angles.
And that's the state of play as of today!
