Andrew.S Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Beautiful job, as always! I like the corrugated iron on it very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen Barett Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 15 hours ago, Moa said: The fix seems to be fairly effective. Still I am sure this can be improved. As I mentioned before, because I did the foil first than any other work on the wing, it suffered a few small nicks and little bumps that could have been avoided. But the basics are there for other modelers to apply if they feel like trying. Maybe the susceptibility for bird strike effect can be lessened by filling the back of the extra corrugation with epoxy (when mounting to the kit's parts) or any other kind of convenient filler.

Redundancy per se is not a bad thing. We have the @Martian that pops every two posts to remind us that intelligent life exists in Mars, and we love him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Adding small details now, like the instruments on the engine pod struts (how the heck could the pilot actually read those from the cockpit?) and the little exhaust detours that go into the fuselage to provide heating: 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, you must sober-up! Think of your mental health! Of the dreadful consequences of building this kit for your well being. More seriously, I was thinking as I was adding some details "This could have been one of Old Airfix's winners" so many nice things, and yet botched so clumsily in others. Sigh.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Rangers are the peace keepers of the United Worlds of the Solar System. We report to the Secretary-General. We have not been de-funded (yet) as we have a stellar reputation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
