Yeh, me does. Right now its only -3 celsius here in oulu and its snowing. Very nice weather👍🏻 J-M, i'm planing to build white 01 with sharkmouth. Very weathered bird. Begemot gives so many choices that is very difficult to choose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 - I still didn't make my mind on which decal I'll use but it is sure that I won't use any early version with goose neck nose probe and MR version, had the ventral reco pod available I could have chosen one of this version offered by Begemot.with a few new paneling to add on the nose and some diffirent antenas - Now the time has come to assemble the nose to the fuselage .This was done without trouble .No step between the two components, just a small joint to fix nothing different with usual plastic kits, - Photos a bit later as soon as Mr Photobucket gives it green light.........

IPMS19 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 - of the item KZ I've used the intakes assemblies are the last. for the first time with these transkit, I've experienced some trouble which riquired a few after work. The rows of small holes on the splitter plates should have been deeply engraved as they may not be very conspicious after painting. The fitting of the air intakes is not the best ;I have some regret with this as the KZ is elswhere very good - The race is almost run with KZ parts, I have to says that all in all they are good transkit with only one regret, no resin clear parts. - Next I will focuse on the wings... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janne Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi if think i saw a build long time in another forum where was same problem with intakes. His used only KZ splitter plates and other parts were Trumpeter. Your wind screen looks great. I see you made little scratch building on top of it. Did you have to do any other modifycation to fit it to KZ nose? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPMS19 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 -I wrote it was time to take care of the wings.There is some work to do there,so referring to a post made by ANTTI.K, I began work on the underside. I've added some more surface to the flap, augmenting its chord , 13 m/m at the root to 8m/m -Then the leading edge flaps are to be modified by reducing the number of roller rails to five. Being too narrow it is no problem to obstruct the whole Then glue the flap and scrib a new joint line with the four new roller tracks place. -To be repeated for the other wing of course - So it is the end of this post, you will see the final result on R F I; - I would like to thanks my two Finns friends Antti k, and Janne , and Uncle Cool, whose support has been a great help for me as well as the numerous "likes" I've received. - My technical adviser is exhausted , please do not wake it up ........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know ya had acquired 'em KZ intakes too. Nice save on 'em! Say, are 'em flaps 'n' slats positionable in the Trumpy kit? My bits still haven't arrived, boo-hoo-hoo...

LT Motta Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Nice work, J.M.! I'm following your thread with enthusiasm... I've bought Mastercaster's wheels and I think they are really nice. Today I received the KZ nose and exhaust correction sets (I've bought at HobbyEasy for the best price that I could find - VF canopy), I believe they are a nice improvement however I decided not to buy the intakes because I couldn't find any comparison to show what are the benefits... what do you think about them?

I bought mine there too together with La 9 and La 11 transkits. - About the intakes, they are marginally shorter and there are rows of small holes on the splitter plates as the ones seen on the Phantom II intakes, but they are not enough deeply engraved so they may desappear at painting, all in all, I don't find a great change compared to the kit ones added to great care being required at jointing them; But may be I'm wrong and someone more proficient at Fencer may tell us more about this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, Andrea. Noooiiiceee to have ya here on BM. Was wonderin' whether or nay the Fencer could have its wings at maximum sweep (flap 'n' slat down 'n' all), while parked on 'em tarmac.
