goon Apex avoidance specialist Member Registered: 03/30/00 Posts: 1060 Loc: Stone, UK	Finished at last! I bought this last summer, and started it almost immediately, but have only finished it this weekend. It has an Airwaves seat, SAC undercarriage legs, Royale Resin wheels (superb), Hasegawa GBUs, Eduard RBF tags and TwoMikes FOD covers. Ooh, and an Eduard ladder. I've had some issues with the canopy and am awaiting a very gracious replacement from Revell, so here the damaged one is just tacked in place. There are also a few scratchbuilt covers and guards. EDIT: There's TwoMikes inboard pylons on there too. (If you could get a 1/48 resin kitchen sink, I'm sure I could have shoe-horned it in!) Thanks for looking! _________________________ Gareth UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing. OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing.

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

The wheels are add-ons made by Royale Resin (excellent products) and are molded with a bulge. _________________________ Gareth UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing.

HarryR Large Member Registered: 01/01/01 Posts: 1900 Loc: SomeWhereInTime	Awesomely done. All that's missing are the scrape marks of the groundcrews boots on the top surfaces and the brake parachute penant. I thought we had a health and safety culture, looks like the Germans have a love for 'remove before flight' flags too Foreplanes could be angled downwards slightly more, but you've captured the 'Phoon well.

goon Apex avoidance specialist Member Registered: 03/30/00 Posts: 1060 Loc: Stone, UK	Many thanks for the replies! Quote: Foreplanes could be angled downwards slightly more For aesthetics or are they locked for maintenance? I've seen them at all sorts of angles in photos, including completely opposed. _________________________ Gareth UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing.
