Go the wash applied, as well as a few details painted.

She be up on her feet. Working on a pin system to get the folded wings mounted solid...what a PITA!!!

Wow...looking good!!! But what happened to the giant frisbee on top???

My dog ate it!

...so how are you pinning those wings on???

With.....wait for it....

Wait for it...

Pins!!!

I've got a pin (brass rod) right at the fold, hidden in a little recessed corner, and another connecting the tip to the tail. The provided parts are nowhere near strong enough for me to have any faith in them, whatsoever.

Progressing at a snails pace now...so many little antennas and fiddly bits...tough to decide what's best for the next step.

Lookin like yet another rain day tomorrow...if so, I should be pretty close to the finish line.

Interesting...

Almost there!

Lookin' good!

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

All done!!!

Stellar work Fermis !

Love the weathering.  And this is one A/C that looks great with the wings folded.  I find that some A/C look like they're all balled up in the fetal position when the wings are folded - and you just can't see much.      Not with this Hawkeye - very nice !

Outstanding...the subtle weathering and shading looks great...choice of scheme really compliments model, especially the shark-mouths on the nacelles that show up really well with the wing-fold!  

Weren't you working on a pair of Thuds as well??? 

Really great looking build, fermis!

Yup.

Got em just about ready for the paint booth. One must go on hold though...gotta get ahold of Stevensinternational to get some parts (a nose has gone missing and one of the canopies has half the edge ripped off...was that way in the box)

Wow! Really nice build on a cool subject. I've been somewhere else on this construction but got it all backread. Again, good work!

I doubt something this big could launch from a carrier...

Very nice work fermis!

Nice!  How much weight did it take to balance?

Thanks again guys!

Nice!  How much weight did it take to balance?

 

Not sure how much all that lead and pennies amounts to, or how much less I could have gotten away with. The whole thing weighs in at 6.3oz...pretty dang heavy for a 1/72 plastic model!

Looks like $0.13 cents to balance it lol.

This is phenominal, Fermis.
