Great work on the undercarriage hydraulic lines and the sensors. John That is the Saslong, home of the Ski World Cup Downhill famous race. I skied down that slope 4 times during the WE, amazing and a lot of fun. If I'm not mistaken, it's the one you see on the right of the Saslong itself And thank you for your comment 1 hour ago, limeypilot said: I love the subtle shading on this one, gorgeous work!

As it comes together, the detail just builds towards the whole in a most impressive manner. Steve. And I'm glad to report I finally reached that whole, Steve - thanks for the praise As I mentioned, I'm calling this completed! But let's see how I got there, to wit the last few steps in this build: first off, I wanted to test fit the canopy before adding any other protruding bit Not too bad, I suppose; so I set off to complete the underside, by completing the paint job on the nose sensors gluing the outboard pylons and the Sparrows I managed to knock off one of the flaperons, as you can see No big deal, though. Painting and weathering the wheels And here are all the underside thingies glued in place including actuator arms for the U/C bay doors and the tiny little bl..dy sensors Time to go back to the top side; APU exhaust painted (with Tamiya Gun Metal, by brush) and glued in place with Gator's Grip The seat was eventually glued in as well as the control stick And finally, the canards and the canopy Propre RFI pics to follow in due course; meanwhile, thank you all for following, commenting, cheering up and contributing to this thread. All comments welcome, as ever Ciao Edited February 2, 2020 by giemme 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Fantastic work Giorgio, she looks great. Question for this layman. Looking at the image of the front undercarriage and it's bay, I can't help but notice that when the door is closed, it will leave a hole at the rear or am I nissing something?

But I don't feel like it just yet, sorry On top of it, I need to do more research before I tackle that build - not easy, because it was built in very small numbers. What's next, then? If I remember properly, the general consensus was for the EE Lightning, right? But which of the proposed schemes? I do have a preference, but what do you guys think?

Biggles87 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I’d forgotten that we’d already talked about a Lightning. ( what day is it?) 111 or 92. Shiny, shiny. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
