Paul Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 It's my birthday today, so very busy. But I managed to steal away from time to time and make a start on this One completed cockpit I just hate that macro lens, it looks way better to my rather dim eyesight!
robw_uk Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 missed your birthday but thios goes straight to me "to watch" list... treated myself to this kit after christmas so will watch ho wyou progress it... looks gorgeous in the box (perhaps I should leave it unbuilt, that way it wont get spoilt!!!!!)
Paul Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 I've added the nose weight and put the fuselage halve together. I had to fill a gap behind the cockpit, but I'm sure it was an error of mine along the way.
Paul Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 A bit more progress. I think I'll have to give this build a big push this week.
Paul Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 The main painting is now done But, I gave myself a bit of an unecessarily difficult job as I didn't paint the ECM dieletric panels black when I did the nose and had to mask around them instead Hopefully I'll finish this weekend
Paul Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Just after the decals went on and she's finished! I really enjoyed this build, struggled in places but its nice to have a thud on the shelf. Many thanks to all those who helped on this build with information, particularly rossm, Bill Ficner and Haydn And also thanks to those that have left comments on the build thread Finally, thanks to smuts and fisk for hosting

I hav eit in the stash and keep "feeling the plastic"... think it will wait for a while as have 3 GBs on the go/coming up first
Paul Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Hi Rob, it was mostly my issues with some of the smallest parts I've ever seen! The fit of the parts is excelent and the intakes are well designed for painting which is great. I didn't get the exhaust assembly though, I couldn't see how to position them more closed.
yardbird78 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Very nice. The 105 is one of my favorite aircraft. I have built several of the Monogram 1/72 and 1/48th as well as some Revell, but the only Trump version is the 1/32 D model. Darwin
