Interceptor Group Build

lookin good guys another 3-4 weeks and I'll be back to building my Mig-31 the surgery went well and my eye is healing up,however the headaches and itching are a pain in the rear,the only pics I have are me post op with my lil buddy Nicholas

Later All"Panzer"

Here's some pics after primer

And my Favorite shot...

Well My shoulder is good now but i need to do some therapy to build up the mucsle so I can play Lacrosse by the time the season rolls around.

Other news I have primed my F-106 and It has revealed areas I need to sand some more.

Sound like you guys need a glass of Hardenup

Now get back to work

Ouch. Hope you heal up fast.

Believe it or not, I also injured myself, not five minutes before writing this - reached into the fridge for a coke, and the edge of the cardboard box stabbed me right under my thumbnail somehow.  Probably gonna get in the way of modelling for a few days since I don't want to play around with caustic chemicals with an open wound, and it hurts.

Unfortunately I don't own a digital camera, but I can borrow one. I've just had a lot of things to deal with recently, which has kind of gotten in the way. I'm not back in college, though, until next month, so I should have time to finish it.

SOunds cool.

Looking forward to pics of any sort......

echo....echo......

Right now it's video games for me since im ungrounded from them for the first time in um lets see oh yeah 3 years.

since i know your going to ask why ill answer it....my dad says if i get a C+ or lower on my report card then im grounded until i dont.

I know what you mean by 'get in the mood again'.

My interests and hobbies seem to go in cycles.

I'll be building models like crazy for a month.....then I'll stop and be playing Flight Simulator for a month ....... Then I'll be outside every night with my Telescope .......then I'll be playing Steel Beasts or something.........Then I'll come back to models.

Its a cruel cycle.

cj95 i could have sworn that i commented on your 'Dart well i guess it didnt go through. ... so... It looks AWESOME and I dont think you guys are ever going to see my 'Dart b/c i don't want it to have to be compared to this one.

Really though I mean come on progress, I thought thats what forums are.....saying your a modeller but never really modelling? huh well i guess im going to have to start it up again i have to prime it and get in "the mood" to model. Ive just got my Drivers License so now i can get models and paints i need at the LHS. Well now that im done being random im going to get off.

Anyone here still making progress?

Looking forward to comparing Darts.

Beautiful plane.

 The F-86 saber, was that plane considered an interceptor?

 The F-86D or other radar-carrying Sabres might.

(copied from Aircraft forum)

Ta-DA!!!!!!!

The Delta Dart is complete!!!!

Its a nicely detailed kit, though the fit left a lot to be desired.

Overall I had a blast and really devolped an affection for this 'Ultimate Interceptor'  Its quite different from most of the WWII stuff and Modern 'Boring Grey Jets' that most of us usually build.

 The only thing missing is the drop tanks which are still being sanded and puttied for later installation.

Enjoy!!!

The Internal Weapons bay with Falcon missles and the Deadly Nuclear GENIE.......

I rescribed a few lines on the upper fuselage mostly as an experiment.....only 80% pleased with the result.

Love the colorful tails

My 'Six' in its final display spot along with some of the rest of my dust collectors........It really stands out.

More pics.......Sorry couldnt resist

Had to go back and paint the yellow stripe on the tail manually.  I was assuming it was part of the decal, but hadnt looked closely at the sheet until now......oops.

Oh well it turned out ok.

Canopy looks nice......why oh why did I spend so much time detailing the cockpit......cant see a thing.

Falcon Missles ready for decals.........

Essential Model desk tools.......Large quantities of Dr. Pepper.

Hope to decal her tonight....woo-hoo!

Getting close............

Have the F-106 all Future'd up.

Now comes the long wait for it to dry enough to mess with.

Looks good.

I've been laying low because of a sinus infection. I've also got a big college project to put together, so it may be a while before I get more done. As a result, I'm officially extending the end date from the end of the month to New Year's.

Okay back off work for a bit, so hopefully I'll make some progress.........

 Still cant get a good photo of the cockpit, but I suppose it will be invisible anyways once the cramped windscreen is closed off.......Oh Well.

 Just finishing off the last round of putty-ing in preparation for the base coat.

 Need to fill a gap in the afterburner can as well....

How are the other 'Six's' going............. as well as the other interceptors?

Anybody know the exact shade of grey for the body?

FS 16473. I don't  know what paints you guys use, but I'm using Model Master Aircraft Gray.

Ok here is one post. At the end there is a link that proved helpful as well as different peoples suggestions.
