Mr B Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Always a treat to see a scooter and yours looks great. How did you manage to get a pilot in there. Any advise will be appreciated as I am planning a similar one with an Argentinian build coming up soon Rgds Mr B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advise will be appreciated as I am planning a similar one with an Argentinian build coming up soon Rgds Mr B Mr B, I built one of these recently and used a pilot from a hasegawa phantom kit. Personally I had to perform surgery below the knee and trim legs so they were quite skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Great build Collin Mr B, I built one of these recently and used a pilot from a hasegawa phantom kit. Personally I had to perform surgery below the knee and trim legs so they were quite skinny. I ended up cutting the pilots legs off just below the knee. In real life I flew with pilots in the A-4 that would have lost their legs on ejection because the bottom of the panel is right there next to your knees (these folks were over 6feet tall). I had to shave a little bit of the pilots back side, added some SV-2 pockets to the front of the pilots vest...and then painted him up. Test fitting is your friend, do a lot of it and things will turn out fine. Cheers Collin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Beautiful build, I like the clear support holding it. There is definitely something attractive about seeing models depicted 'in flight'. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
