IMCO by not defining "thin" they can always blame the user for any issues arising.

UPDATE:

Fuselage is assembled, exhausts are assembled and painted, cockpit and spine are test fitted. Wings are in puttying fase....take a long time to dry and fill again with next layer. eventually i'll get there. The airfoil of the wing has to be reprofiled as is the leading edge. I didn't use 2c filler for this as I though it didn't need that much filler. Turn out I better used 2c filler.....

Now the projects (Tu-32P "Farmhand", Mig-25 "Foxbat-G" and the Su-15MP "Mantra") are going to be seperated.

MOST glorious!!!

Update time:

PSR is almost over...now time to polish it. I use black enamel as very tin putty to smooth out small holes and scratches. As this baby will be sprayed in Alu the surface has to be really smooth..Sanding with 800 and later 1000......

BTW: cockpit arrangement is changed slightly, canopy is not fitted yet (still needs some sanding)

Im sayin!! This is looking good... shaping right on up! I can't wait to see this one...

That's a Gnat trainer canopy, isn't it?

63cpe · March 03, 2017, 06:28:33 AM

Thanks gentleman! But it's not a Gnat canopy...its a Tu-22 Blinder canopy. Depainted it last week. In earlier pictures you'll see the difference....

Ah right, thanks. It was the slightly curved undersurface that made me think 'Gnat'.

What a big brute ! Love the look of this one.

63cpe · March 17, 2017, 02:50:48 PM

Some progress made: cut out the inner flaps and made new flaps from styrene sheet to make lowered flaps. Trying to get a more "used" look....

Also added some detail in the wheel wells. The main gear is drying when this is written..
