[N4521U]

Thanks guys, but...
On a good note, this is what the inboard rack will look like, it will have rockets however

On a more sinister note..........
This is what it looks like when you don't refer to real pictures!!!!!

Let's just say it needs repairs!!!!

Life goes on.

Oh !

 

[Airframes]

Oops !

 

[N4521U]

Yep, oops. Thanks for all your monosyllabic comments.
Pays to pay attention.
Ripping them out was a bit of a paiin, so I just got agressive.
The starboard engine came out with inly deforming the opening a bit.
Port engine bit of a different story.
As you can see I used a plug from a hole punch, rounded the ragged edged hole to fit.
I did a bit of forming to the opening shape, rolled it a bit and
I attached a flange of .25mm styrene to the edge of the plug,
inserted this with glue on the flange.
Let it set, did a bit of shaving, filing and sanding.
As you can see I just need to do a bit of filling on top.
Pieces are not yet glued in place.
I press on.... gotta finish one of my entries...

[N4521U]

Sad, but this one may fall along the wayside,
just too much on the choppah!
Will have to finish a bit later.
Ack.

 

[Airframes]

Know that feeling !

 

[Wayne Little]

Later then.....

 

[N4521U]

Well, since other SH-34 stuff is setting up I thought I would try and catchup!!!!!
Wing tips attached. Weapons arrived just the other day.
It just looks meaner and meaner.
I am pinning the missles in place, a piece of .6mm rod between the mount and missle.
