Nathan Dempsey

Augie

Augie
welcome

Augie
yup plenty left

Augie
Cockpit coming on, trying to go OOB on this one so no PE cockpit etc.

Nathan Dempsey
Looks nice! Decided on markings yet?

Augie
Thanks Nathan, Yea, its going to be extra dark sea grey with white undersides. I have another which will be done in Falklands scheme.

Clifford Keesler
I'll grab a seat if I may. Nice looking panel.

Augie
Your most welcome as always clifford 🙂

Stephan Ryll
I also take a seat Augie 🙂

Nathan Dempsey
I'm doing mine in a Falklands scheme and was going to buy another but then I saw they were doing a GR.1 so I'm saving the second project for that one. Here's hoping it has the lengthened nose 🙂

Augie
if its a gr1.. shouldnt have.. however depending then with a T4 kit, you might be able to make one as that has the LRTMS nose.

Augie
And welcome stephan.

Nathan Dempsey
Wow Augie, this one went together in a snap!

Augie
Its not too bad Nathan, Intakes were a mutt.. they dont fit properly so needed some tweaking.. noose needed some fettling as did the wing to fueslage..

Fit wise, I think the Ole' monogram Av-8a / GR1 is better 🤔

Nathan Dempsey
I have found that some of the newer kits can be a bit over-complicated. Some for no reason at all. I understand when they want to make 5 variants, but geez...

Augie
Yeah, but this is on bits that are fairly generic across the family.. thats where its just odd.

Clifford Keesler
It still is looking good Aug's even with the fit issues you describe.

Augie
Thanks Clifford, I have ways of making things fit😉

Clifford Keesler
That you do. The RF-101B is finished, finally. I will get some pictures up tomorrow I hope. The F-5F is ready for primer.
