Looks great, Tim @otis1229. Now that the fuselage and wings are coming together, the build will be a lot of crowd control on your workbench. All of the plastic in this plane will cover a lot of workbench territory.

Well since I threw OOB out the window early on, i bought a trumpeter sprue on ebay for the interior intakes. I am probably doing more plastic surgery than a hollywood clinic but hopefully it will work to what my mind cooked up. Looking through have the main clue components glued up this weekend

Great that you decided to beef up your builds with some Trumpeter parts, my friend @otis1229!
George R Blair Jr said 1 year, 2 months ago:

Good luck with the plastic surgery, Tim @otis1229. I have never had a lot of luck swapping out major parts like this, so hopefully this will work out. Looking forward to the results.
Tim Zeh said 1 year, 2 months ago:

Yeah, i am hoping I didn’t get too ambitious here. We shall see I suppose
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 2 months ago:

For sure your surgery will look much better than most of the Hollywood results, Tim @otis1229
Looking forward to it.

Starting to look like a tomcat vs pieces of one i guess.

Superb progress and great looks so far, my friend @otis1229! Are these Trumpeter parts at the intake area? Looking great!
John vd Biggelaar said 1 year, 2 months ago:

Very good progress, Tim @otis1229
Tim Zeh said 1 year, 2 months ago:

Yes i took the trumpeter ramps and the intake trunking and played around with configurations that hide a good amount of the horrendous seams of revell parts. Not perfect by any means but since in flight the ramps would be lowered so it looks better than it did to me anyway
Tim Zeh said 1 year, 2 months ago:

So the we’ll documented fit and seams have reared their ugly heads, attempting the sprue goo welding technique to try to offset them. If main cockpit assembly seam isn’t fixable here, i may try a bit of camouflage by installing fwd phoenix pallets.

She is really fighting you, Tim @otis1229
Still some options left.

In the end you will come up with a great result, my friend @otis1229!
