....... (The Secret Weapon)

[papa 695]

I'm getting more and more intrigued with this one Peter

[takeslousyphotos]

The main cockpit assembly is together, or at least as much as isn't cause a problem with detailing it .............. and I just found and ordered.

1 AGM-130 Air to Surface Missile (That is a really "Bad Boy" ) and AQX-14 Datalink Pod ............... So that's the Ordnance sorted................. I just hope there's going to be room for it all. o_O

I now have the Cockpit Assembly and the inner fuselage in Primer ........... So tomorrow I can start painting, and decals.

The Eduard Brassard "GUU-24" Bombs turned up today............. and they are Monsters. I've never used this stuff before and I'm proper impressed with the quality....... So I have a question ????? What is the best Adhesive to use for Resin ???? I thought maybe two part epoxy ??? or is there something better ???

They do look the biz Peter.

As for the glue I'm not sure what's the best I just use CA

[Neil]

ya know, a group build - colonial viper, any colour scheme and any customisation so long as the base kit is the above and it is not finished to OOTB schemes. Any ideas as yet or are you keeping that a surprise for now?

[Snowman]

HA!!

Now that is a cool off the wall idea!!

I am planning on Desert Pink........... Maybe digital Camo .......... Or a Straight Line Camo using three shades of the Desert Pink.............. I'm a long way off that yet.

Thanks Ian ......... I'll give it a go.

Cockpit assembly is very nearly done ............. Paint is finished, more decals than you can "shake a stick at" and most of them the size of a microbe .......... Just a few details to add..........

............ and the pilot is done ......... "Group Captain Screwitt-Upalott" DSO & BAR ........... Not sure if the colours represent too well. Coveralls in Nato Green, Jacket / Lifejacket Field Grey, Boots Nato Black, Gloves Khaki, Visor Metallic Blue over Black ..........

............ I'm on the lookout for a NATO Pilot ...... But until then this guy that came with the kit will do the job.

Nice work on the pilot Peter, but what as he got in his hand

[takeslousyphotos]

It's the control stick ............... When he's seated it rests on the right hand console.

The office is finished ......... Tomorrow night it can go into the fuselage..........

It looked a little dodgy out of the cockpit

But you can see now it's in

[takeslousyphotos]

Yes it does ............... I'm proper pleased with the result on this. There is a lot of detail in there. Mostly it's decals loads of the itty bitty tiny little things ...... The only bit I added is the "Pull Handle" or whatever it's called for the ejector seat .......... I figured if we are putting the little fellas in harms way, then he should be giver a fighting chance...................
