Thanks guys.Toast

Are the CFT pre-molded to the fuselage or do you need to put them on.

They are separate pieces. Both of mine had a bit of a warp to em. A bit of a PITA to hold em in place (they slip pretty easy) and glue at the same time. I had to use some tape to help hold em in place, while I gluing and working out the warp.

Been doing a little here and there...mostly at the airport, while waiting for snow to pile up enough to get busy moving it. Got a little ahead of myself and forgot the obligatory pit pics, before closing it up....best I can do at this point...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring on the HURT!!!!

Weapons from a Hasegawa set...CBU's are from HobbyBoss' A-7 kit.

 

 

Since this build will be traveling via the US Postal Service...some extra work is required to toughen things up a bit. I used brass rod to make pins that will run through the fuse/or wing parts, through the pylon and into the stores. As of right now, these will pressure fit without any need for glue(they will get glued though too).

 

 

 

 

Customer wanted AMRAAMs loaded up on the missile rails. The kit includes AIM-9s. I cut off the rails for the AIM-9s and replaced them with the rails for the AMRAAMs from the Hasegawa set.

 

 

Ready to start painting some stuff!
