Marklo Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Well everyone seems to be going for the blue and grey so I may go for the sand and green one. I just realised this will be my third IAF build and I’ll have built a Mustang a Mezec and a Meteor, odd coincidence Edited October 7, 2022 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) By the way I haven't forgotten about the photo’s just been busy. Look for them over the weekend. The photo I have of the 199 very likely could be Green/Sand, its hard to tell with B&W photo’s. Its definitely two toned though.

I’m still trying to clear as much a if my WIP as possible first, so the two Fokker, the Taube, the F5B and the Geest are all on the bench atm (I really do need to do a tidy up !!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Ok we’re 3 hours off the official start of the GB and technically it’s already the 15th somewhere; and I’m a major component down; so (also technically) my build is in the negative percentages, so wood has been cut, carved and sanded. So in fact I’m not even invoking the 25% rule I’m actually approaching 0% May go molding tomorrow but I have an F5B to finish and more importantly a sick cat that may need to go to the vet Edited October 14, 2022 by Marklo 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have given you all the bits you need. Though by molding as one piece you will solve the roughness of all the joins.

Coaxing him to eat which is a big improvement but still just not himself. He had eight teeth removed about three weeks ago and hasn’t been great since. I’m hoping it’s just a long convalescence. He’s had blood tests and nothings shown so it’s possibly just down to a bit of tlc and patience 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Wings sanded smooth and fitted. As luck would have it most of the wing root is on the wing molding so aside from a little dremelling I didn’t have to do all that much to the wing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 After a round of filling and sanding, still a bit to go. Hopefully I’ve added the correct tail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it straight diagonal or does it sweep out to meet the radar bullet ? The pictures of the Israeli NF’s show straight/diagonal leading edge on the vertical surfaces with no sweep out.

Marklo Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Having spent a good half hour looking at your photos and searching the internet I chose the straight bullet not the sweeping faired in one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need more info or an opinion/thoughts on anything please ask.
