[Sauragnmon]

I bet the wife was as nonplussed as the cat looks in the pic, STS.

Still, looks like it's coming along well.

[sotoolslinger]

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks ED .Primer is drying as we speak

[sotoolslinger]

And more sanding took place and more putty was applied and another coat o primer and I still gotta do it again




I really hate crappy kits. The Hase Crusader is super  The sucko ESCI Viggen is just the effin worst

[John Howling Mouse]

The sucko ESCI Viggen is just the effin worst

Yep, Now you know why my two Viggen projects stalled out... 

[sotoolslinger]

Yeah what really p's me off is my 2 1/48 Flankers are a ESCI and a HobbyBoss which I swear are the same kit

[sotoolslinger]

All right dang it It is smoothyfied enough

And on to detailing
Ventral fins on

Dorsal intakes


And these weapons which are NOT Zuni rockets

They are Kinetic Infra red Defence Rockets or Kidders


They use these infra red sensors

and vectored thrust venturies (for steering) but have no explosive warhead. The rocket is entirely taken up by the IR sensor and propellant but these elements are encased in a frangible casing and thousands of steel balls So there

[Deon]

This is the dog's nadgers..amazing!

[John Howling Mouse]

Hey, are those Zuni's?

Jes' kiddin'

Looks fantastic (but we knew that it would).
