[Vajled]

Now I see I didnt start this topic here

or I am but cannot found it...

Well model is Eduard, started few months ago.

I have a lot of trouble with wing - fuselage joint and make some butchery on it hehehe

Model was little of, and now I have will to finished it...

Today what I have doned is priming from cockpit area to to the rear, up and down to see my butchery how it looks under the primer... and I'm sadisfied...

First here are those pics, and after will put from start to end...

Project is started 25.09.2011.

New project, just started





Cockpit is finished... PE is big pain in the a** (First time working with it)

 

[Vajled]

Little progress on this bird... It's pritty slow and painfull

Reason for slowing down is VERY BAD fit of fuselage and wings...

In the end when I manage to put together fuselage and wings, when I was looking model from top view I can see gap of mybe 3-4 mm from each side fuselage - wing connection... I'm sorry but have no photos of that, because in that moment my blod preassure wass approx. 220/160

After that I try with pulling wings up on right position, pulling, gluing, puttying, sanding, pulling... blod preassure 240/180...

In the end I got this... on right side "stair" in fuselage - wing connection





Also at the mottom connection of wings with fuselage, same story...





It's look for me that I try to put some other airsraft delata wing on fuselage of Mirage2000...



I have problems with air intakes too, but I manage to solve that problem...





I think biggest problem was... when i opened box, it was in the stash about 1 year, and if i remember right I have bought it from online stash shop from one collegaue... who knows how long was there on stash... On eye model was bent... fuselage and wings... canopy was dropped from sprue, also some more parts...



But in gereraly I enjoy working on ferrari of the sky

Go for it Roman, I'm sure it'll be another cracking build when it's finished.

And nice to see Vajled jr joining in too.
