Military trainer aircraft Group build 2020

2 coats of primer.

The under wing seams are proving to be a pain.

The gear doors and nose gear are on.

And getting the main gear ready.

Back to work on my T-38!

The wings/Stabilizers are on.

I've started to do some detail painting.

No, it's fine.

Welcome to the GB!

Hey mach71,

I have a question about getting in on this GB. I found a couple of started SR-71s at a garage sale that are in different states of completion/disrepair. One of them is a -B model. My goal is to do what I can to restore/finish the bith of them. The problem is, rhe -B might break the rule number 4; Any build, kit/kitbash/scratch build as long as it's less than 50% complete at the start. 

Is it too far along for this GB?

Let me know. Thanks! 

-O

The Majister certainly looks goodenuf from here, John.

Working on the seams of the T-38 now. They are not too bad.

So today was my day off from my essential  job.  I actually was able to finish the little Magister.  It's not perfect. But it'll do in the display.  Done as a fledgling German Luftwaffe trainer in the late 50's. Had a lot of fun with this. Didn't sweat the small stuff

 

Excellent! 1st to finish!

Nice job!

Question. I'm still up in the air on the markings for my Magister. Patrouille de France is a possibility. Anyone know a Tamiya color or mix for the blue 15180 is the fs number.

Edit. Just found something that says xf-8 is 15183. Close enough

sealing it up.

The gear wells locators are very well engineered.

No glue is really needed, they are held really tightly.

The kit cockpit is done.

The rear panel is shifted a bit, I'll try and correct that.

No worries at all.

I'll leave you on the list in case you change your mind. Only about half of GB members complete the builds on time. 

Hey Mach, could you please withdraw me from the gb, said explanation is given in my latest post on the british army group build. Still sticking around to enjoy your builds fellers (and gals). Thanks all!

Sounds good!

I've heard that Revell Germany might be working on a big, 1/32, kit of the magister.

I'm still pluging away at both cockpits for my Trumpeter kit.

Nice start tempestjohnny!

 

How is it going togther?

 

 

Today I actually put glue to plastic!

I glued the rear cockpit panel to the front seat bulkhead and rear housing.

Nice start tempestjohnny!

How is it going togther?

Started my Magister this morning. This is a 1975 Airfix kit

Looks like a nice clean job removing the AIM-9 rails.

Good job!

I'm decaling the kit cockpit now. Still not sure which one I'll use.

The decals look nice, but kind of cartoonish. I'm waiting for the Micro Sol to settle them down, I've already put on the Sol 3 times! The decal seems to finally be conforming to the gear handle.

Made about 5 mins progress before other things called my name. At least I removed the wing-tip rails, razor saw worked beautifully!

Other then that, nothing to report.

I gloss coated the kit cockpit in prep for the decals.

The Aftermarket pit is coming along also.

I'm almost done with the main instrument panels.

And then I notice this:

DOH!

No new photo's, I'm just cleaning up yesterdays work.

I repainted the instrument panel covers flat black, I didn't like the semi gloss.

Thanks!

More painting today.

The kit parts next to the aftermarket parts.

Just the 1st cut, cleanup to follow.
