Jabba Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) I have been into the loft and fished out the Stream (I think well it is all in Russian) 1/72nd model of the Su-24M Fencer D, which I will be making as an Iraqi Air Force version. As the batteries in my camera faded earlier today, I will get some photos as soon as possible. Edited July 14, 2013 by Jabba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Very interested to see this one, if it is the stream kit then it's very sought after and has cracking detail from what I've read. Never seen one though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Here are some pictures of what I hoping to build. The box The parts. The instructions. The kit decals plus some extras and a Neomega cockpit that is meant for the Italeri kit, but I will see if it can fit in this one. Some information. If someone can confirm that this is the Stream kit I would be very grateful. Edited April 14, 2013 by Jabba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Oh boy, this will be fun to watch! So is it Stream, Streem, or Strim? I've read that the latter is actually the correct Anglicized spelling, but I was wondering if anyone knows. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Some work has been carried out with this kit, and I will hopefully post some photos this weekend. From another forum, I have seen the name of the manufacturer as Streem, and I will amend the titles at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I have tried to add some photos of my progress, but for some reason I don't know what as I do not know computers that well, there are not coming onto this page as they normally would. I have uploaded them to photobucket as normal, done the usual thing at my library, but when I post them here they are showing up as a line of text that would lead you to the photo on a seperate web page which then allows you to look at other pictures that I have taken which I do not want to happen. They would noramlly show up like the pictures above. I don't know waht to do so if anyone can advise me I would be very grateful, as I have just spent 1 and a half hours getting nowhere. I this does persist then I shall have to withdraw from thois group build. Also does someone know how I can change my title as I have tried all the methods that I know to no avail.

Mozzy19 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Also does someone know how I can change my title as I have tried all the methods that I know to no avail.Have you tried editing your first post? Normally when you edit that it gives you the option of changing the title of your thread.As for the pictures, have you been using the image code? If you copy and paste that, it should work.

Jabba Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Is this the link that you've been using? Copying and pasting that usually works. Sean That is the one that I am using, but it was not working like it normally does on Saturday. I have contacted Photobucket about it and will see tomorrow what they say. If they have nothing I will try again over this coming weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Jabba, Here are step-by-step instructions for posting picture using the "new" Photobucket and the "new" Britmodeller.

Mozzy19 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I've done that using the normal IMG code, so it may be your computer or browser. Bills link should help too. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Well I think that I have got somewhere. This picture show the wings all made up. in the kit they would have you making the wings so that the slats and flaps would also move, plus the wing pylon moving as the wings moved backward and forwards. This I did not want to do this as the mechanism did look rather flimsy and complicated when trying to add the wings and glue the fuselage together at the same time. I have also left off the pylon until later in the build. Hopefull I wll have more pictures over the next few days, as at the moment I am losing the will to live.

Sean It's most likely due to his Photobucket Library being set as "public." I think it needs to be set that way, or we wouldn't be able to see his photos in this thread. But I've never actually tested that theory... Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Here are some more pictures of my progress. In this photo the lower fuselage halves have been joined together along with a couple of bulkheads. I have also put in place the upper parts of the main U/C, and I will add the lower parts much later so as not to break them off. Since this photo has been taken I have added the jet exhausts. This picture shows the nose U/C bay fitted to a forward fuselage. Why it is this big I do not know as not much sticks out from it, but it cannot be cut down as a lot of the struts are in the rear of the bay. In later pictures you will see what I mean. This picture show the cockpit set that now will not fit due to the size of the nose U/C bay. I think that I maybe able to use the side walls, plus the ejection seats and I have already fitted the control sticks to the kit cockpit. This shows a dry fitting of the kit cockpit. I still have to fit the instrument panel which is in the process of being painted. This picture show how much of the nose U/C actaully sticks out from the forward fuselage if it was all joined together. So you can see why I ask that there is such a large bay when really it is not needed, and you could probably had a better cockpit added to the kit parts. any comments on the above are very grateful.

Navy Bird Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I would use the full resin cockpit, and not use the kit nose gear bay. Figure out a way to attach the nose gear to the bottom of the resin cockpit, or to the fuselage itself. Unless...are you supposed to cut out the front landing gear doors from the fuselage? Maybe they are molded in place for an in-flight model? If so, then more of the nose gear bay will be visible. What do the instructions say (in pictures)?

Cheers, Bill Unfortunately due to the fact that the nose U/C bay is glued into position and that the struts that hold the nose U/C in position are mounted to the roof of the bay I am very reluctant now to do anything about it. There is also another problem with the resin cockpit that I did not mention and that it is too wide for the forward fuselage, so rather a lot of it would have to be removed to make it fit. The Su-24 sits on the ground with the doors shut, and there is no mention in the instructions about cutting them away either. It just seems a bit of a waste having this massive bay whilst a more detailed cockpit would have been better. Edited May 9, 2013 by Jabba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm not sure if I can help or not...... I'm using the new photobucket and have found once you are in the library where you have the photos you want to use. Just click on the photo you would like to upload. 1, The screen will go from a multi image view to one with the image you selected is the main image and thumb nail images at the bottom. 2, On this screen you should now have the main image you selected, there maybe arrows that allow you to move back or forwards through you image library. 3, On the right hand side you will see "Links to share this photo", on the second line down it will show "direct" with "https://i1224.photobucket..." (for example). 4, Click on this box and it should turn yellowish (sometimes you have to click on it a couple of times) colour, the bow should then say "copied". 5, Now in the Britmodeller window find the icon in the green box, second row down, 11th icon in will show “image” if you hold the mouse over it. 6, Just click this and right mouse click paste once the box opens, this should place the photobucket lick into this box, and then click ok. All going right the image will now appear. Hopefully this helps. Does seem a huge wheel bay for something that normally isn’t seen! Nice aircraft, will follow with interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 This project maybe terminated. Last night I put together the wings and fuselage halves, which seemed to be alright. This morning however I had a look at the model, and eveything seems to be pointing in different directions. On wing seems flat while the other droops down at an angle, and when I level out the fuselage, the main U/C parts do not appear to be level either. I will have a real good look at it over the next few days and decide what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
