Daddy defeats the Hasegawa Tomcat intakes!
MattSimps74 posted a topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Sincerely hope all you BM’ers are doing ok during this unprecedented time, I know that some time at the bench is a great help for most of us when the proverbial hits the fan. Very grateful to have such a great hobby (and some time to do it!) at the moment. A major milestone passed in my modelling career, my kids are SO proud of me! These suckers have lain fallow for several years and from what I read have been the undoing of many a modeller. I’d just given up, which was a pity as the rest of the build had gone quite well .... ’Challenging’ AMUR Reaver PE wing gloves fitted(this was the second attempt!) Brass sheet shoulder blades added too. Lots more PE around the nose. It’s going to be a Grim Reapers bird, Gunfighter 163 most probably. One day. So yes, build stalled around the intakes, completely stumped. I’d done the tweaks from David Aungst’s build and had them looking pretty decent. Intake ramps though, no dice. Enter the lovely new AMK Tomcat, of which I simply had to have a copy. Amazing engineering, truly a thing of wonder, and I haven’t really started it yet! Having built up their intake ramps, I scratched a version for the Hasegawa kit, using the same method to get the angles right, and voila! Cockpit next. Best wishes to all of you guys and gals, I’ve a feeling RFI is going to be creaking fit to burst in a few weeks time! Take care all Matt
