Bit more done to the undercarriage today. The UC doors have been put in and the nose wheel leg has had a couple more pieces added. The main gear legs are made up from several pieces and these are next to be done. Ive given the nose leg and the main legs and wheels a wash to highlight the details , cheers tony
Well the hustler is nearly standing up on its own three feet. The main wheel legs have been assembled from several pieces and the linkages/ door retraction links etc have also been put on. All thats left to do now is open up the canopy and add the rather long pitot. Heres a few pics of the undercarriage legs , cheers tony
Nearly there now . The pitot is on and theres just the forward canopy to fix , although there isnt a jack supplied so ill have to make one . The weapons pod has also been fitted and the added weight is doing its job keeping the nose wheel firmly on the ground! Next big problem is how to photograph it when its done , its too big to fit in my light box , so ill have to improvise.
The original Failsafe film is one of my favourites, and although they're called Vindicators in that, you can still imagine these brutes punching their way through the PVO defences.
Lovely work throughout on this one Tony, particularly like the detail on the gears and carriage bays. The engines and paintwork in its entirety looks sweet.
