Mark Turk Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) I decided to start another kit to represent F-111E 68-0020 in 1986 with the "My Luck Blonde" nose art. The kit is the same Hasegawa F-111E Nose Art The aircraft being modeled. The cockpit was painted a lighter gray this time Instrument panel decals are not bad all things considered. Cockpit installed and fuselage mating started. Note that I had to use an older canopy from the spares box while the one from the kit box was "baptized" in a bath of floor polish. Sitting next to my other entry "The Chief" F-111E 68-0020 circa 1989 Edited May 15, 2017 by Mark Turk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Turk Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Work is progressing slowly First all of the bits and pieces of the landing gear are painted and tucked away for safe keeping. Next, I've been busy painting the undersides Mark Edited June 7, 2017 by Mark Turk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Turk Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I'm going to need to pick up the pace if I'm going to finish by 2 July 2017. I did make some progress over the weekend. The seamless intakes seemed like a good idea in the beginning, but they upset the build sequence by requiring painting of the bottom and side surfaces of the fuselage before installation.
