Thanks for following guys. Lochsa, you're right about the canopy. There are fit issues in general with this kit - most of which aren't too difficult to deal with - but the canopy is a bit of a mess. I'm not really looking forward to that part of the build.

Thanks guys! Transall, it seems a lot stronger than the kit parts which were made from pretty thin plastic.

Thank you Pietro! Still a long way to go. In the middle of priming the fuselage and having gap and other problems popping up. This is the build that never seems to end 🙁

Thanks Gorby! This was my first time trying to scratch build landing gear. Took me probably 20 hours 🙁 I ended up using Albion Alloys brass tubing for a lot of it, along with music wire, copper wire, plastic tubing, and other materials. I've bumped it a few times already and it is very stable so fingers crossed it makes it to the finish line!

I love all the scratch building, especially the landing gear; it is very nice! It's a great result.

Oh yeah. You gotta be super-careful with that. This site is full of black magic. Pssst. Between us: I know for sure because it's the only explanation how some guys here achieve their otherworldly results.
Happy modelling - but watch your back 😉

Yeah, I know what you mean. Some people here are ridiculously talented!
I ended up finishing the JRS-1 tonight. Finally pictures in my album. And Michael, I did replace the teaser picture with my final build - now that it's done and stored in my glass case, much less risk of jinxing myself!

Thank you guys! This one was a tricky one for sure, but I'm happy with how it came out. Definitely a cool paint scheme, very colorful bird!
