Tim B Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Like the Kraken I have laid dorment for too long. I shall rise! Pluck a virgin from the cliffs then descend to my lair and spray a white dragon on her back... Anyway... Here's what I'll be attempting to put together: I'll also be using Gunze Aqueous paints for the first time on this build, which i'm awfully excited about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousER99 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Good choice Tim!! May I suggest you get a set of Aires Featherless exhausts for that guy? That boxing of the Eagle only has the feathered ones. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That boxing of the Eagle only has the feathered ones. Cheers Mike I was just looking at the kit and thinking the same...So Aires do good ones then? are there tons of tiny activators to struggle with?

You will have to cut the PE actuators but they go right in. The Aires cans are beautiful though and well worth the dosh if you choose that route.

Tim B Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Many thanks Mike! and good evening all. I have made progress. Not much, but some. I painted the seat once and it turned out like this: The green looked a bit 'icky' as Karl put it. and I wasn't really happy with it being a type A ACES II when it should be a type B (I think). So I got another Aires ACES II type B seat and am currently painting it up: Hopefully I'll get the cockpit done and the front fuselage together by tomorrow evening. No promises Cheers, Timothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Thanks people. Just a quick update to let Mike know that the nozzles have arrived and got the electronics bay painted.. I can't take credit for painting the instrument panels. they are from the Eduard zoom set. Just the throttle to add, then the cockpit is just about done. cya Tim Edited October 29, 2008 by Tim B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) The front fuselage halves are together and after what seems like an age, the PE actuators are added to one of the exhaust nozzles... Now off to do the other one. Getting the hang of this now.. Tim Edited October 30, 2008 by Tim B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
