Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone ... Well the foiling is done. The colors been patched on the vertical stab. Thats as close to the color i have. Oh the kit would have you use decals for the collision lights. I chose to drill them out and fill with red, green, or aluminum. I will add a drop of clear canopy glue to create the lamps. Im on to the small stuff now with this. I can see the end of this build. Questions, comments, or jokes ? Dennis PS - I added the inner bay doors tonight. Next up missiles, landing gear, outer bay doors, drop tanks, & canopy.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Hello everybody .. Last night i mounted the landing gear minus the doors. I did the minimal amount of weathering on this that it was going to get. I basically put some dirt on the walkways and on top of the wing where the crew would walk. These were kept immaculate by the crew-chiefs and i doubt there would be anything more than that.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) 🤨 Minor set back folks. Here i was trying to wrap this build up. Adding all the little hanging off bits and doo-dads. Go to finish the cockpit and BANG a kick to the gentlemans goods. I lost the control column ! How’s the poor pilot supposed to fly ? So Im going to have to scratch it up. This is how she looks as of right now. The extended missile trapeze’s were just a joy to mount 🤬. Thanks Convair for designing something so joyous for modeler’s to assemble. 😉 They're in though thanks to copious amounts of Gel C/A. The main gear doors were ok but the bendy mount attaching them to the gear legs is another lovable design by convair ! 🤬 Again attached with copious amounts of C/A. All that is left is to touch up some spots on the landing gear and speed brake, the pitot, the arresting hook, & of course the control column.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hello everybody ... So I needed to reproduce this. The Deuce’s control stick has two pistol grips. One is for flight, the other if im correct is for targeting or possibly steering radar ? I was able to scratch this today. Its not perfect but it is close and will at least pass visual inspection. Its pouring rain today here so i will take some photo’s for the Gallery and an RFI tomorrow. Questions, comments, or jokes ? Dennis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Ok so I painted & installed the control column. That makes this build officially ended. I know its not easy to see, but its in there. I will take some photo’s tomorrow of the completed F-102 and post them. Dennis 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
