Paul Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It's my birthday today, so very busy. But I managed to steal away from time to time and make a start on this One completed cockpit I just hate that macro lens, it looks way better to my rather dim eyesight!

AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Good start with the pit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've added the nose weight and put the fuselage halve together. I had to fill a gap behind the cockpit, but I'm sure it was an error of mine along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 A bit more progress. I think I'll have to give this build a big push this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 The main painting is now done But, I gave myself a bit of an unecessarily difficult job as I didn't paint the ECM dieletric panels black when I did the nose and had to mask around them instead Hopefully I'll finish this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi Rob, it was mostly my issues with some of the smallest parts I've ever seen! The fit of the parts is excelent and the intakes are well designed for painting which is great. I didn't get the exhaust assembly though, I couldn't see how to position them more closed.

yardbird78 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Very nice. The 105 is one of my favorite aircraft. I have built several of the Monogram 1/72 and 1/48th as well as some Revell, but the only Trump version is the 1/32 D model. Darwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
