AF-837 Hammerhead

Allright I finally got to start this. Have a nice cockpit



I actually put effort into this one

[Sauragnmon]

Definately looks good, STS.  Question is - what's the rest of the plane?

[sotoolslinger]

Oh yeah I forgot this is the F-8 /Viggen bash

[Just call me Ray]

Not an F-8/A-37 bash? Now that would be interesting

[Brian da Basher]

That's one top-notch looking cockpit, Toolslinger!

OMG!  You're really building it!

[sotoolslinger]

Oh heck yeah  I just had to wait to get a 1/48 Viggen .They are scarce. I hope to have more pics up today.

[cthulhu77]

You should watch this guy build...yikes !  I barely get a bit sanded, and he has an entire pit done !!!!

[sotoolslinger]

Made pretty good progress today






And what the cat thinks of my efforts

[Sauragnmon]

Very interesting look so far.  I forget, STS, you putting Canards on it?  The cheek bumps just below the cockpit look prime for fitting the machinery in place.

You'll have to work a little more putty-fu in the wing joins, but she's coming along nicely.  Very nicely.

[sotoolslinger]

Oh yeah it will have the canards just like the profile JP did for me

I plan on doing the exhaust a little different but that will be the only major change.

[Sauragnmon]

I might suggest the thought of raising the canards a little, setting them between the two gun mounts on either side perhaps.  It appears to look like it doesn't quite belong sitting on the lower cannon like that.

Looking very good! Either you're lifted a couple of Greg's models or you're doing this in Az., right? Sweet!!

[puddingwrestler]

I love it! Its so... parasol-ish!

[ChernayaAkula]

Great!

That's quite the stand!
