Good stuff Don

Thanks all for your comments.

As mentioned earlier the Z-M doesn't include any air to ground weapons or weapons release racks (MER/TER). In fact most of the weapons supplied are not even accurate to the era depicted.

I need two TER ( Triple Ejector Rack) for the two inboard pylons and possibly a single MER (Multiple Ejector Rack) for the centerline pylon.

I picked up a set of ResKit TERs

and I also have the Hasegawa Weapons set A.

Now I have to decide which to use.
I like the ResKit, but it's a lot of detail that if weapons are hung on it, well you know, it's all gone.

Looks like you are having fun Don....plenty of work to be done though....liking it so far....

 

[Crimea_River]

Jeez, you could do a separate build thread for those pods!

 

[Donivanp]

I've been working on the cockpit with the QS set.

The IP and side console are well defines and it's almost a shame to remove it all for the 3d set..

Teh kit does come with cockpit decals but the 3D is a far better choice in my opinion.

Not done by a long shot but getting there!

 

[fubar57]

Awesome

 

[Airframes]

Nice !

 

[N4521U]

I'd say it worked out rather well!!!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Goodness me, haven't they all popped out rather nicely.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

 

[Donivanp]

Just still picking away at the cockpit... Still have to do some minor and the seats...
