Hi all.

I have recieved this little gem to build in a month as a chalange.

It is a 1/72 Italeri Kfir C-7 kit with some AM Scaleworx resin,PE and SAAF decals to convert it into a SAAF Atlas Cheetah E.

There is a fair amount of "surgery" to be done and it is all totally new to me as I have not worked with resin parts before.......stay tuned LOL!

The quality of these AM parts are stunning and I am afraid that after one builds with this it might be very difficult to go back to "out the box plastics" LOL!!!!

Thanx Tony.

That plane was colled "Spotty" (of all names LOL!)

No I will not be doing that one, I know the skill required is way more than I can offer.

The Cheetah E had an experimental two tone disruptive cammo or the one I have will be doing is all over dark grey. Sipmle yet nice.

I have painted the office black, started painting the resin bang seat and then proceded to do a full "Stabelizorectomy" (surgical removal of stabilizor) to be able to fit the new one.............man that just feels so wrong to cut off such big parts LOL!

Bet it feels a bit like surgery.

Scarey Huh.

Keep going, we learn by doing

:respect2:

Respect for giving it a go.

Tony.
 
Great stuff theuns, it'll be good to see the conversion as it happens , the resin stuff looks excellent quality. cheers tony
 
I think conversions in 1/48 are fiddly enough but in 1/72.....Respect.

Watching this with interest.

Good work so far, i cant even get the eyes right on a 1/48 scale lol
 
Nice looking office. Getting detail into a 1:72 seat is always a bit tricky....
