OK so the instructions called for the fire extinguisher to go where I put it and by the time I learned different it was too late. so It stayed. I seem to have lost the tail skid and have to figure that out but anywho here is where I is.
The wing fit was a minor fit but all in all the fit is fit!

I downed this one in a final countdown warp with a F-4 and Sparrows and sidewinders. ;-()

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

 

[Crimea_River]

Agree with Wojtek.

Good stuff Don. Hopefully the tail skid will be an easy fix

Got a little further yesterday before work. Flaps, tail stabs and rudder and gear in place. this is a very simple easy kit to work. If your interested in the subject I can recommend this kit.

Looking good. However the flaps and ailerons were of the stand-alone sufraces rather I mean that these were separate parts. So either you fogot to sunder them or I'm wrong.

It's one peice in the kit. no mention of a split or that they should be differentiated. Thanks never noticed so there are some issues with accuracy, who would have thunk!

 

[Donivanp]

Masked for the yellow and shot some yellow, have to figure out the split flap and get it straight. I do like that Tamiya vinyl tape!

Yep.. According to the drawing the dividing line should be at the marked lines.

 

[fubar57]

Weird.......

 

[Donivanp]

Corrected!

Good work Don

 

[Wurger]

Agreed.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice catch. Huge ailerons then.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

Hi guys! There are a lot of accuracy problems with the hobby boss kit . This should have not happen because at the time they came out with this kit there was a lot of information on the subject.
This is why I recommend Radu Branzan's book on the subject. Either the Vanator book or the Iar 80/81 Airframe Equipment Systems which is an earlier version of the Vanator.
