LanceR21 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hello! This kit is lying around for quite some years, I don't want to throw it into trash (since there are Hasegawa and Kinetic now) so it's time to make this kit as simple as possible. At the moment, I'm engraving panel lines and upper surfaces are 90% complete. Few mistakes to correct and a few new panels to add. Some parts will be from Hasegawa, like an ejection seat GQ-7A - Hellenic Starfighters had that kind of seat, engine nozzle and landing gear. A friend of mine gave me Eduard PE parts for cockpit so that will be used too. Next update will probably be after lower surfaces are completed. Cheers!

Tail-Dragon Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Monogram kits can be as good as anything with a little extra work. Looking good so far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneheadff Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Great job so far I have one of these, too. My son gave it to me as a birthday gift when he was 13 or 14, so I'm definitely not gonna bin it. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceR21 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 Thanks guys! Small update - lower surfaces are engraved 90% - few panels to add after I assemble everything together. Also because gun bay door is really bad and it doesn't fit properly so a lot of sanding is to be expected... Cheers, Nenad 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcin Wojciechowski Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 What tools do you use to cut split lines to make them concave? Are you planning a riveting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceR21 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Thanks! I'm using old Trumpeter scriber, old hobby knife (not sharp at all) and one leg with needle from old divider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
