llking Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'll be building a C2 with tail number 885, I'll be using the same aftermarket as Mike but without the PE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llking Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I started on the cockpit this afternoon and got a little bit done, little more to go on the instrument panel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsuzuki Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Be careful with the nose...Its diameter is not the same as the body where it is supposed to be glued...My approach was to glue each each half to each side and then adjust it, but maybe this is a problem with my kit only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinBK Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I suppose you will not use this MK6 ; MK10 or MK JM6 for the Kfir (High Planes make a rather accurate MK6 seat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mcellaney Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 I have been working away trying to catch up to Lloyd, and I think I have just about done it Got the cockpit finished Noses glued to the fuselage Exhaust made up and painted, just need to some more work to end Mk82's made up Wing tanks made up Made good the insert to the underside of the fuselage, just used 10 and 20 thou strips to fill the gaps 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is there on the real aircraft. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsuzuki Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The step is supposed to be there (on the bottom). It is there on the real aircraft. Jens There was a step also on the sides in my kit, that is the reason I decided to glue the nose's halves to each side first, then no step to putty and sand where it is more visible.

Jens Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I usually do that too - glue the parts for each side together before joining the (complete) fuselage halves. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_M Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Have been waiting for my resin seats. I will be doing the Kinetic Kit. Waiting for paints as this will be my first jet and my colour range is WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llking Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 the batteries in my camera died on me and I was to lazy to go get new ones. I have been making good progress on the C2 all the decals are on and have sprayed the flat coat. a little bit more and this one will be finished. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar side Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hmm, making me think if the old ESCI Kfir sitting in the garage. Like the grey scheme most although there is something about the desert camo. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
