Really impressive patience and skill. Very inventive use of all sorts of odds and ends from sweet wrappers to brush bristles.
Well after a long long build im finally calling this done! The last few bits and bobs have been fitted , namely the drop tanks , KKR1 reconnaissance pod , canopy , elevators and last but not least the wings . The canopy has also had the connecting wire to the ejector seat fitted with a bit of brass wire , suitably crinkled . The problem I had was that each time I added an aerial , or some other tiny last minute part , it made it harder and harder to handle it without knocking something off - the aerials under the nose and behind the cockpit being re attached several times! Thanks to anyone still following after all this time , heres some pics ( excuse the rough , mucky background ) to finish this thread and I’ll be getting some better completed pics up soon , cheers tony
Wow Tony, it certainly was a long haul and a whole lot of 'Nasties', but the finished product is freakin' fantastic!!! You've definitely put your heart and soul, not to mention nerves into this build. I can only tip my hat to you Sir!!! Take this to the next show in your neighborhood and you are guaranteed a gold medal, for sure!!!...
