rowmk9 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 An excellent choice sir. I feel like building an SR-71 myself...oh wait I am! Will be nice to see the drone carrying option, there is a fair amount of bare titanium on that example is there not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowmk9 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Looks lovely indeed! Seeing all that Titanium makes me wonder how much an SR-71 would cost to build in todays money, a hell of alot I bet! This model will look great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweaty Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) It is, been dying to do one for a while but didn't want to start another kit Small progress with the cockpit, adding some minor detail to the seats, hopefully so they look a little like the real thing Thanks Jamie Edited April 20, 2011 by sweaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowmk9 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 detail looks very much superior to the Italeri kit - knocks my effort into a cocked hat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaty Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks Rowan Seats now done and in primer, and next to a bigger version going to pick up some enamels tomorrow, can't stand acrylics for brush painting Comments welcome Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Just as well we can't use aftermarket bits, you'd have a hell of a job fitting the resin one into the cockpit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweaty Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Little update, got the main body together and just filling and sanding not worth a piccy just yet Been looking in the Tony Landis book (good book by the way) and it looks like 60-6940 drone never had the extra little pitots? Thingys and was flown with covers over the exhaust and intake So ive sanded those off and am going to make a couple of covers out of milliput whis me luck Opps and bang seats finished, not my best but the canopys gonna be closed all the best Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaty Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Ok little progress with the drone. Made the covers u out of milliput and am almost there... if your wondering where i got the idear from they are in the Tony Landis Lockheed Blackbird Family Photo Scrapbook, pages 40-44. Well worth the pennys if your a Blackbird lover Just a little more sanding and then time for some paint All comments welcome as ever All the best Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
