Nice work you guys,
I'm happy to see that now that we have hit the 6month line that this Gb is really coming to life!

Fantacmet, nice work on that cockpit, I really love those radar screens!
How did you do that?
Btw, have you figured out which sheme you're gonna do?

With regards, Ninetalis.

Huge amount of white gloss airbrushing out of the way today. I'd been putting this off for as long as possible because air brushing gloss white is just so fiddly. Oh well had to be done and glad it's out of the way.

Can now move onto other things.

Cheers

You really get onto something when you are building something aren't you Casper?
White is a crappy color (except out of a can) but it looks really good so far.

Have you allready decided which of the 18 markings you're gonna do?

With regards, Ninetalis.

I got busy with life and school, so there is not HUGE progress, but there is progress nonetheless.

I used some scrap PE and various wire to detail the landing gear and bays

Ok, so I've now got a competed Raptor! Great kit (except for a couple of minor fit issues with the ordinance) and it sure is a whopper of a plane!

Nice work on the wiring Owl, that's another technique I still need to master...

Cool handiabled,
I was recently thinking about your Corsair if you were still going to start it.
Good to see that you are.
I haven't looked for this kit but what are the problems you're talking about?

Casper,
That's an amazing 'little' piece of Raptor you've put down here, you earned your badge!
I'm allready looking forward to your F-117 that you are going to put together next.

I'm really happy to see that there are still lot's of people devoted to this little cruising Group Build!
With regards, Ninetalis.
