I gotten this far and as I got to the intakes assembly it's really bad, what a mojo killer

You've got off to a great start with this one, there's not many aircraft kits that don't put up a fight, keep going you can sort it.

It is looking very good Leo, and I'm sure you can beat the intakes into submission.

Thanks boys, I'll try to tackle this beast next weekend after few days off the bench to get the frustrating thing cools down a bit lol

I have the same kit but the "red devils" one. I am following your build with interest.

Wish me luck when installing those intakes :cold-sweat:

[Guest]

I think I managed to sort the intakes, lots of surgery required though. Quite happy how it turns out. [ATTACH]305226[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305227[/ATTACH][ATTACH]305228[/ATTACH]

Hi guys,
It's been a while since my last update. Slow progress but still going for sure. Managed to get the radar and main landing gear done, also the burning can (still need to do some weathering and stuff on that). Since this is a 1/32 scale then I need to make sure that the gaps are taken care of also make the surface as smooth as possible.

Thanks for looking

In have just found this thread and have quite fancied this kit. You are doing a great job on it.

[Guest]

Thanks boys for the encouragement, I'm really taking my time building this one.

[Guest]

what product did you use for the weathering/ wash inside the under cart bays and UC struts?

Thanx
