Sneak preview

[lancer]

Oh good, was just begining to fear spats, t-tail and canadian markings

Thta would really have ruined it....        

[seavixen]

Bum loads of sanding to come today!

[Brian da Basher]

Woah is that ever sharp, seavixen! I love how you've totally morphed this into something very very eye-catching. I'll be watching your progress with great interest.

[seavixen]

First coat of primer applied. Some small areas need a bit more filling and sanding but I've definitely got the look I was aiming for!

[Brian da Basher]

Looking wicked - do you have a backstory yet?

Sadly not. I'm not much use with such things.  

Would you like to have a bash at creating one for me?

[B777LR]

Wicked! Or as someone else would say, AIRPLANE PORN!

[John Howling Mouse]

Superhuman blending ability.  Totally unfair!

Ah...I have these builds-in-progress you might enjoy doing the ol' PSR routine on...

 

[Archibald]

Man, that's just superb!



For the backstory, a Rockwell fighter would be cool (something post XVF-12, in the 80's... Rockwell entry for AFTI, Tigershark competitor, or a design made by a US ally (South Korea first atempt, long before the T-50...)

[seavixen]

Getting there slowly! Some more progress pics.  Canopy now tinted and attached.

Thinking of calling it the McDonnell Douglas/Boeing F-101X Intimidator

[Rafael]

I'm in love with this machine!!!!

Who could think that a Voodoo hid such beauty!!!!


Wow!
Rafa

[elmayerle]

Just a thought, use the extended burner cans from the F-101B, but replace the nozzles with F404 nozzles (there really was a single-seat F-101 flown in a similar configuration with J79 nozzles).  If you want a "sexier" look, work over the nozzles with a file to get the chevroned look of a LOAN (Low-Observables Axisymmetric Nozzle) for each.

[seavixen]

Small update. just got to affix the undercart and she'll be finished.

The Stars and bars have been bleached by the camera flash so look a little odd. Once the model is complete, I'll take some pics outdoors so the real colours come become clearer!
