After the colossal disappointment of The Kit That Shall Not Be Named I thought I'd crack straight on with something to restore my faith in little plastic aeroplanes because...
a.) I've just watched Top Gun on DVD
b.) It is still raining
c.) There was one in the stash and I need to free up some space
I've only done the cockpit so far.
Made some seat belts from tape and the ejection handles from a bit of painted quiche foil. Blown up massively the painting looks crude compared to what others on here can do, but those loops are only a millimetre or so in diameter.
I've been trying to work out the centre of gravity to determine if it will need a weighted nose. I don't think it will, but if anyone can confirm or correct that assumption please feel free to chip in.
Looking forward to see what I can do with the paint job. Images online would suggest that these things can look a bit grubby.
Initial impressions are that this will be a tenner well spent.
