ok guys time for yet another update I just finisched one of the main gear legs I'm hoping that my crappy pics give you guys an idea of what I'm trying to make here I used academy parts together with hasegawa parts, they match up great and without to much trouble I still need to add the landing light and the wiring for it but I'm still thinking on a way to make it... any way some more pics last one anyway I'm off again to make the other one now I'm hoping I can finisch that one this week with the weather forcast this week I'm hoping that won't be too much trouble Oh if anyone here has more intell on how the nose gear retracts please let me know as to date I found nothing that realy helps me out here Greetz STB Frederick Jacobs

Cheers guys as for seeing all of the detail, I'll put the model in a way that you can see all that's added inside well I took this picture with a view inside the wheel bay but the trick is to drill some holes and pull the wires trough the bay sides and glue them there with the CA glue. I drill holes in everything I need to stick the wires in (boy that's sound quite nasty :shithappens: ) wich makes the job a lot easier ... I hope this helps you out Greetz STB Frederick Jacobs

then it took me quite a while to get the intake done this piece is a sanding nightmare to get rid of the seams. Why they make this part in four pieces is beyond me. The center seam was the most difficult one I had to get rid of the ones running along the sides where more forgiving but the center one kept on showing through :-\ the I started to work on the nose gear with all the extra's added it looks like this this is where I am at the moment right now I'm trying to make the main gears and then its time to finisch up the cockpit with thye sidewalls and such untill the next update Greetz STB Frederick Jacobs

then I started to work on the cockpit as I need to replace it because I need an early A pit instead of the C pit OOB. the old BB set doesn't fit as its Ip coaming is far to wide so I gold hold of an tamiya one and it fitted verry well. details on the rear deck and here's where the cockpit is to date this is all scratch except for the the lower side panels below the IP as these were used from the tamiya kit. Also the bezels and such on the new made IP came form the academy kit .

hi guys well here she goes I've been working on this one for quite some time now to bring you up to speed here its going to be an in flight model with the gears retracting so bare with me Some of you may recognise this one from other forums as well, anyway we are talking about this one here; using the academy kit means that you need to replace a lot in order to get to the right block standard. first things first, the tail got its extention with the help of the PMWP set only thing you need to pay atention though is that the extended tail has a shorter tail base then a C variant so this means putty is needed to close up some location pin gaps ect .... the the gun nozzle was changed using a spare hasegawa part then I made some new wing tip launchers as the kit doesn't have the right ones and added detail to the gear bays
