Arniec Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Here are two pictures after fitting the 100% LERX. To get a better fit on the topside I needed to use a extra piece of plastic on the underside. The build will now be going in a more normal pace. I still believe that it will be finished before this build stops. I have also been thinking about the colours and I think I will be going for Dark Sea Grey.

Arniec Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 I will be trying to do some more work this week. I think it will be mostly fitting all sorts of small pieces. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Hi guys here are some pictures of the armament that hade a dry fit to see if it would fit the wings. there were two options to place the amraams. one on the outer pilon and the second one on the second pilon (from the outside). I wil go with the second option. I also made a colour sheet to see witch colour I would use. I think I will go with Medium sea grey from Gunze. It is for MSG to dark, but almost a match to DSG from Tamiya. I didn't wanted a colour that was to light or to dark. armament layout the two layouts for the armament and here is a picture from the coclour shart cheers, Edited November 29, 2012 by Arniec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyB Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Wow that cockpit looks fantastic Arnie, really nice work. Which white did you use for the intakes? That's cracking covering over the black/silvers from the fan, white is a colour I really struggle to get down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan was quite simple to do. I first painted the fan black (tamiya) and after it was dry I drybrushed some silver paint (testors enemel) over it. This was left to dry for a day and then I masked the fan with some tamiya tape. I made the mask with a alfa cutter. Then I sprayed the white on.

Arniec Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 If you're going to Whiff it, why not a couple of asraams? Your absolutely right Dave. The only problem is I didn't have any spare ones. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Weeeell, I always did think that asraams looked like sprue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I will do my best I hope I can do some more work on friday.

Arniec Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Here is a small update of the things I have done sins last time. It is not much and I also forgot to take a picture of the Instrument panel before it did go in. Here are some pictures of it is today. i also used the decals for the cord in the cockpitglas, but there is no picture of it. I have dipped it into some klear this morning to seal it in. There are still some things to do before the paint can go on. I hope to have a new update next week. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Nice detail work on that instrument panel. That radome akes a bit of getting used to with the screen; I'm really looking forward to the end result. Keep up the good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Disaster struck today. I managed to smear the cockpit glas with some glue. I hope I can salvage it. Luckily it is on the outside. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Oh that's bad luck! It's looking great, too... you can put a lot right on a canopy if you have some really fine sanding sticks, I've found! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 oh no! hopefully you can fix it up. I have/had a 1/72 Ar234-P which I managed to knock over a bottle for liquid cement on, plastic was sort of ok, canopy.......... lets just say the whole thing is now in the box of doom. No amount of polishing/sanding will fix...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
