No pic's yet!

I've started this, although I haven't made much progress yet. Looks like it needs some "help". I noticed a mold-seam on the nose, I suppose that's where they take out the "S" nose and insert an "A" one for the Heller kit.

I wonder where I can get a 1/72 A-model - I'm getting really interested in one with the Atlis pod and an AS-30L

A few pic's









Quite a bit of putty needed and more to come. More pictures later.

That was quick! You're going to be rivaling Phil for build speed this way mate.

He'd probably done a "Gary" and it was 98.75% completed already

Certainly used a lorra lorra putty though...

Oi will you lot knock it off.......

Oi, I'm an honourable man, I don't cheat if there's a risk of getting caught!

If you look closely, I've cut a few corners

Ok, I had to do a bit extra, so I decided to make windows for the LRMTS. I used a block of clear resin (from Neils fab Popeye missiles). Drilled a shallow hole, which I filled with Mithril Silver. Cut out a chunk of the nose and painted it black, then CA'ed the resin to it. The CA now needs to dry and then the clear bit will get sanded to shape.









When shaped properly, I'll paint the parts that shouldn't be clear and mask off those that should. Mask the canopy and it should be ready for painting

Got the nose sanded to shape and polished






And masked it as well as the canopy.






More to come later - I've got some black paint on the nose an canopy right now, getting ready for the Desert Pink

Nice work on the nose mate, I'll be stealing that idea when I (eventually) get to there

Good work on the LRMTS (or whatever its bloddy well called) Martin

Thank you! And yes Gary, Laser Ranger and Marked Target Seeker.

It's a w i n d o w Gary

You mean the window beneath that long stick?

That long stick is an aeroplane Gary

Got some Desert Pink sprayed on it, you'll have to imagine how it looks tho'! I'll hopefully be ready for decals before the end of the week

All for now

Still on course to be first finished I see mate. Hope the decals behave for you.

Yeah good to see someone still make progress - I've taken the foot off the gas on my T2, but there justmay be another Jag reason for that

Coming along Nicely Martin, like the idea for the 'window under the long stick' (or LRMTS if you prefer).

Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing it finished soon then!

Karl.

Thanks guys! This is a whole new experience for me, actually being on target for finishing something! Who knows, I might make a habit out of it!

They did behave nicely Col, thanks mate. It just needs to have the weapons, nozzles, gasbag and pitot probe attached and a mattcoat, then it'll be finished! Probably tomorrow

Almost there
