[Crimea_River]

Looking good.

 

[jamierd]

well here she is in one piece with some paint on her sorry bout the pics still not good with the camera .worst problem with this kit is i have been forced to tidy my desk so i have some room to work on it and everybody knows a tidy desk is a sign of a sick mind

Bugger me Jamie, how much glue did you have to use.....................

 

[jamierd]

not much really but huge amounts of filler and a whole 22ml jar of the light grey to get her painted .thanks for all the comments guys really enjoying this build next job is to reinforce the undercarriage just to make sure it will hold her up should be quite easy to do as you can imagine the legs are quite thick so should be easy to fit in some metal rods to increase the strength

 

[jamierd]

what i need now is a 1/32 scale B52 for my eagle to escort lol

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks bazzing Jamie, and boy, what a big b*s**rd !!!
A B52 in 1/32nd scale!!! The 1/48th scale Monogram kit was bl**dy ginormous, hate to think what it would be like in 32nd !!!

Possibly something that big enough to deter the Hippocroccofrogs invasion................

 

[Crimea_River]

Bazzing? That's a new one but if it means "good", I agree!

 

[kgambit]

[vikingBerserker]

I agree!

looks great Jamie

 

[jamierd]

just had a brain fart and decided to count the decals to go on this thing now i have a headache there are nearly 300 of the damn things 98 "no step " alone will take me a month just to put the decals on

 

[Wayne Little]

Just take your time and do it in sections, you will be ok!

Know your pain, Iv'e got sh!tloads to go on my Phantom too!

 

[jamierd]

further progress not much more construction left to do really.Kit comes with a radar but no hinges for the nose cone so i got to make them myself put the first of the decals on and they are really showing their age so i have got hold of an astra decals sheet for all the rest. She is up on her feet now detailing to the wheelobays was real easy because the F15s forward doors close after the undercarriage is down so not much of the bays to see at all
Also found in the box a huge ASAT missile wont be fitting it but will complete it to go with the kit

Nice going Jamie. It seems to get bigger every time - that tail fin looks huge !

 

[vikingBerserker]

That is some fine work! Nicely done.
