One of the best scratch work which I've ever seen

That's really great!

I wish one of the big manufacturers would buy the master from you and make it into a kit



Hisham that would be pretty cool!

Wouldn't take much for a mainstream kit maker to reverse engineer this into a styrene kit.



Wouldn’t be the first Rich.

Happy Modeling,

I made some progress and getting closer to painting…which I’m hoping to do on Monday.

Fire extinguishers



Side X-Ray panels



Dry fitted…



Hydraulic arm that lifts panels up and down.



And the last photos show the X-Ray panels installed. I also started the wiring that needs finishing. I also made the X-Ray panels to be functional (moving up & down)















Happy Modeling,
Joe

Damn Joe that Looks TERRIBLE!! Where did you learn to build stuff, at legoland? Just kidding man, Looks awesome as usual. Can't wait until you figure out how to make a scratchbuilt model that will actually shoot it's gun, drive around, start its motor.....

Looks great man, what was next for you again??

Thanks guys I‘m just about finished with her, all that's left are the mirrors, wiper blade and reflectors. The reflectors won’t go until it’s painted.

I do however have to give a big shout out to Rob “18brovo” Skipper who helped me out tremendously. Rob shared with me some great photos…thanks Rob!!!

Happy Modeling,
Joe

I’m calling this finished, well the building portion at least. Next is the painting and weathering. I just have a few interior detail to work out, I’ll post photos of the cockpit later. I had some request that I show some close-up photos…

















































More to follow…

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Here’s a peek with a coat of paint, the color is a mixture of Tamiya’s Buff & Deck Tan with a few drops of Flat white.
