Looking good pete , but if i were the pilot I’ d be worried looking at the radar screen - hes got about six bogeys chasing him !!!

It needs silhouettes of Hurricanes and Spitfires painted in instead

[peterairfix]

Body halves together and the front and rear landing gear bays constructed and the lower wing installed and the tail fin fitted.

Good work Peter. Again, another aircraft I've never built.

And 'they' are not even on the screen they should be on, radar sweep shows clean and why are all the screens in that horrendous interior Mig cyan blue colour. On the ground they would be switched off anyway. Its not hard for manufacturers to do a quick look up on the web and find some decent images they can use. And that seat - he wouldnt be strapped into anything that would save his life.

But all said and done you are doing a great job with it OOB Peter

[peterairfix]

Time for an update as I have a bit more light as it's decent weather.
I have put some mid wing stiffeners and finished off the from air intakes and added. the upper wings

[colin m]

I can see some of the detail seems to be soft, and the parts not always a great fit. What's your opinion on the Kit Peter ?

[peterairfix]

What's your opinion on the Kit Peter

At the moment it's not throwing up to many problems the main things are gaps in the wing roots and the trailing edges near the fuselage don't line up properly.
I will post pictures tomorrow.

[peterairfix]

Update time this is how it looks at the moment there is a small gap at the wing roots but I am hoping that when I paint I shouldn't show up and a few more sub assembly's and started on the wheels.

[peterairfix]

Bringing this build bang up to date and I have got to the point where I can get some painting done as I am not the best at doing under construction threads but here's how it looks.

[Steven000]

Looking forward to your paintwork Peter, model looks good :thumb2:

[peterairfix]

Started on the paintwork the dark earth has been done I have started masking for the green.

[peterairfix]

All done bar the decals and light weathering.

[peterairfix]

Almost done I have the bigger decals on but some how I have misplaced the smaller ones.
So I will b using the kit decals unless they turn up.
But I am a bit annoyed Revell have released this kit in 1\72.

[peterairfix]

I have changed the title as I am now starting the engine part of the build I have a host of parts sprayed a ready to assemble.
