Looks great Lego! Welcome aboard mate!



P.S. Top O the morning!

[Lego]

Finally made a small start to this baby. Just happy I could squeeze some time in even if it was only a little.

The engine was ok to build. Got a tiny bit fiddly with the exhaust in sections that should really have been just one mold imo but otherwise nice with no issues.










Will make a start on the cockpit tomorrow hopefully.

[JediBoer]

Looks like a stunning kit! Definitely going to follow this one! Great work on the engine!

[Lego]

Thank you sir


Another small update

Cockpit assembly





Basic enough cockpit but I don't think much of it will be visable even for a 1/32.














Some parts of the chassis attached no problems at all, nicely fitting followed by a little dry fitting











All for now

[JediBoer]

Like what you did with the cockpit! Looks great!

[rwsmith14]

The cockpit and especially the instrument panel look great !

Cracking work so far mate! I'm looking forward to seeing this BIG bird come together!

[eightfooticeman]

Ian, your build is looking really good buddy, very clean indeed. Remember take your time and build yourself a monster!

[chief5437]

Nice work buddy, that engine looks great!

[Tangles]

Sweet looking ride so far mate, awesome job on the detail painting!

[Lego]

Thanks again guys


So you have a couple of options with showing guns both on top of the wing and in the wing if your folding the wings. I will not be folding the wings but I still sprayed the two interior guns on each side.








As you can see they have very good potential for showing in the up position.


So what a pain in the buttinsky putting the wings together. They are absolute crap. Way too big and point blank refused to match up never mind actually go together. They popped off two times and in the process of sanding and repairing I damaged quite a lot of detail which I rescribed and smoothed out. Lol I managed to weaken the plastic from sanding














So the difficult bit over I pressed on after my freakout














You can see the wing root went together a dream really and so I primed her up and then post shaded. Where I am at now.

[Lego]

I forgot I started masking the canopy up and worked to get the seem line off.





Used a blade to get rid of the rough edge from seem first then worked it off using Ultimate sanders which are great

















Never knew it was there.

Great work on everything so far!
Nice wing job also, looks great.

This is one big bad boy in 1/32!

[UKguyInUSA]

Getting closer to that finishing line and looking more awesome with every step! Can't wait to see her with her clothes on!

Cheers

Looking brilliant! That canopy just shines!
And nice work getting those wings to behave in the end. Never much fun when they don't co-operate.
Paint time! Sweet!

[Lego]

[chief5437]

[Lego]
