sub 758 Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) After a bit of quiet time due to work being manic I decided to start a little one. An old esci kit, so I thought I would make a start and see how it goes. A little bit of progress a few of the pictures of it so far. Thanks for looking.

sub 758 Posted November 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Little bit more done. Wings fitted in the raised position And decided lower the flaps and also cut them to separate them to make it look a bit better Thanks for looking. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jessie_C 10,952 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Before you get to much farther, remember that the leading edge flaps also went down at the same time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sub 758 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Bit more done and painted. Waiting for the canopy to dry and the undercarriage. Might change the seat for a new one I've ordered. Edited November 20, 2022 by sub 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sub 758 Posted November 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 New seat from quick boost. Was only a couple of quid. Don't think you will see most of it when fitted and the canopy on lol 😆 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sub 758 Posted December 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Little bit more done seat painted and fitted although the ejector seat handles were broken so might make some out of wire. And started applying some markings I had spare as the original ones broke up. Might have to realign the scoop on the exhaust as its a bit squiffy. 😆 Thanks for looking.
