F-82 or A-Something Tri-Stang WIP

[PR19_Kit]

Kit:

Shorten them?   

Shock! Horror! Heresy! 

[Tophe]

Kit, please forgive this inventive modeller...
(As I have forgiven him, destroying the twin-fuselage layout into a triplex-fuselage one)

Small progress in getting the OD anti-glare panels painted.  I had made the mistake of using blue painters tape to mask the fuselages and had lots of tape residue to clean off    Ready for more masking, and a glue session to join up the airframe.  Not much to show here, yet.





Nevermore with the blue painter's tape, quoth the slow builder  .

Best regards,
Kem

Looking promising there. 

[Tophe]

Good! Go on!

Thanks guys! 

Kit:  Wish I could have gotten the wing extensions a bit neater.  I should have chosen a night scheme to hide it  .  Curious if you left off the guns or installed them.  I'm tempted to leave them off.

Tophe:  Hoping to get a sudden flurry of activity on this bird.  Once the airframe is joined, prepped and painted, then the contra prop will be the next big hurdle.

Good luck on all your builds.

[Tophe]

uh?

I left all the 'standard' F-82 guns in  place, resulting in a twelve gun surprise for any enemies who decided to cross into the P-82M's path. So the gun hatches in both wing sections actually do things,

A lot has happened in the past year, but not so much for the Tri-Stang.  Here is where we are now picking the thread back up:








So much time has elapsed, in fact, that I have mostly forgotten how to put a post together 

Some really sweet work going on here though, nice!

Best regards,
Kem

[Tophe]

Yes, nice!

[PR19_Kit]

That's looking REALLY good now, even with the Allison engines.

I've been thinking of something along the lines of the bottom one Tophe.

Good project!

Better and better!
