Hi Tony yes it was Cosford. Not sure what scheme I'm going to do yet but it will be a British one

 

[papa 695]

Made a start on this one, and the first thing was the seat

Nice looking bang seat, Ian.

 

[yak face]

Nice seat ian , its a good representation straight out of the box only needing belts to make it look just as good as a resin one, cheers tony

 

[Guest]

That's one nice seat.

 

[papa 695]

Thanks Tony and like you say it's a very good representation out of the box but the big ed cockpit set really lifts it

 

[papa 695]

Next up was the tub

I still need to put the HUD on but I'll do that when its in the fuselage, I'll only knock it off otherwise.

 

[Guest]

Coming along well Ian.


Those Eduard set's sure make a difference.

 

[Guest]

Nice start!! Looking very good Ian

 

[Neil]

From a rather tatty looking box, a gem is emerging!

 

[yak face]

Great looking cockpit Ian ! ,It must be lonely being in this GB all on your own , I'll be joining you tomorrow with mine, cheers tony

It will be nice to have someone else to build with Tony

 

[papa 695]

Got the cockpit fitted and fuselage halfs put together, also the wheel wells and intakes. Just need to get rid of the seam lines on the intakes.

Forgot to add I needed to put 30gs of lead in the front to stop it being a tail sitter

 

[flyjoe180]

Looks good Ian. 30g is a fair amount of weight.

 

[Guest]

I like your progress, i'm watching... cheers Ian

 

[papa 695]

Looks good Ian. 30g is a fair amount of weight.

I know Joe but it's what it says on the instructions.

 

[papa 695]

Well it's starting to look like a Eurofighter Typhoon now.
