Guess what my new project is??

Here is what I have done so far, experimental camo job and the wings have yet to be glued on, along with loads more work to do.




Cheers,
Chris.

She's coming along well, Chris - the camo so far looks pretty interesting.  Looking forward to more shots of progress.

I have not been able to get any progress pics done as it has either hammered it down or I have had to go out, so I started to put the landing gears on and the doors. Whilst doing so, I managed to break off one of the engine pods, which was nice.......?. The landing gear doors don't fit properly, neither does the nose cone or any of the inspection doors for that matter, but hey thats modelling (and Ukranian models) for you.
So hopefully I shall get some pics done tomorrow, without the underside showing, as the main gear doors look horrendous.
But never mind.
Cheers,
Chris.

Here are some more update pics of what I have done, thankfully you can't see the crap landing gear doors
and the other problems I have had with this thing. Saying that, I would build another, but go about it completely different, as this thing has been a learning curve of hidden problems. Also I would need to bring the bench grinder in the house to teach the badly fitting parts a lesson or two 






I am going to weather the living hell out of this thing also, as punishment for being such an awkward build, so expect more paint missing and copious amounts of dirt and fading also.
Cheers
Chris.

This is looking good.  It's already looking well weathered.  Much more and it will look like a derelict.

Looking very good...though you really need to get a new photo display base.

Damm Chris, that is seriously cool. Lovely cammo scheme and the chipping is great!

[Sauragnmon]

I love the camo scheme mate, and the weathering gives it a bit of distinction - I can understand your desire to get a little revenge with weathering the hell out of the painful build.

Really eye-catching!
