The replacement to the tego film is obviously not cutting it!

I have tried to detail the cockpit, but it is very difficult for me to see with the glasses I have, it is impossible. I am waiting for the new ones to arrive from the optician, (the years do not forgive and for this hobby it is essential to see well), so Between my attitude and the vision that is not the most appropriate, I have left it as is, except that I have rectified the floor of the cockpit for the correct position of things.

so the process goes on

Like others on the vision thing. So many attempted corrections and still with 2X specs and a jewelers magnifier head gear! Getting to where I am starting to post and anticipate feedback from members that can see! Looking good to me, but then again isn't that relative

Looks great so far I'm sure more fun than the 1/72 scale mpm kit I built last year.

That's one reason I don't post here often. Working 1:72, cockpits especially look ok plain vision, or even with glasses and head gear, but go to take a photo, and it looks like absolute shite! Too ashamed to post close ups now!

The biggest problem I had was tired vision and even with magnification I was not able to see up close, I always use electronic binoculars that had leds to illuminate that change when they melted...

Well, as I already told you, I've been doing little things while I have time, the heat of these weeks doesn't help much, I just want to be in the pool, even so I'll show you how I fly
the engine nacelle joints need some work as you can see...
the first painted radiators from burnt iron

finished off in steel to give it more background


empty and refine the profile of the air intakes of both engines as you can see


and see how it looks in the fuselage

Not a bad effort Sergio, you certainly have a few issues but it's coming out good.

thanks boyz

It is impossible for me to finish it to enter the contest due to different assembly and fitting problems, especially of the wings with the fuselage, it has a step of more than 1mm and I have to see what I do... but I will continue posting photos as the project progresses

It is appreciated but since I have the job and the time there will not be enough to repair this assembly or injection error, (I still don't know what it could have been, but being me I'm sure it was me).
It is appreciated that that time is extended anyway...

thanks fellas.

Nothing happens, even if I don't enter the "competition" I will continue doing it until I finish it, if I am alone with the problem of the wing fitting the rest is 99% finished, it is almost in the painting phase...
