If you are after P.1103esque wings I may be able to help you there

Unless you're moving the u/c to the fuselage, you need the kit wing.

And I am using the kit wing.

Quote from: PR19_Kit on March 17, 2024, 04:44:39 PMQuite a few modern Chinese designs use similar belly mounted intakes too, so maybe it's catching on?  ;D 

It is.  There's quite a few modern types that use them, X-32 & F-35 in the US, J-10B, JF-17, J-20 and J-31 in China.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Cockpit coming along - seats will go in later - the previously cut up fusealge has been put back together and it is definitely a two-seater.  Hopefully fin and rudder will be fitted tomorrow.

4-week hiatus + reminder that there's barely a month before the end of this GB = finger retraction time!

So....a bit of work on the fuselage to dry fit the P.1021 (or P.1123?) fin/rudder that came courtesy of The Wooksta (cheers Lee).  The RWR fairing will be removed as in my head they're 1970s RAF not 1960s.  Work in the wings and tailplanes using Hunter parts as templates to Hawkerfy the wing and tailplane tips and to add leading edge slats (using Hunter Items - thanks Martin and Dominic) to the mainplanes.  Both wings are done.

'Hawkerfy', yes, I LIKE that!  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Wings, fin and tailplanes on, initial PSR done.  Next, sort out the intakes.  Pics to follow when these are under way.

Chris - at your convenience could you move this thread to the 'Aircraft, Armor, Weapons and Ships by Topic' board, please?

Not sure whether I love this or hate you! :angry:  I have been planning to convert a 1/48 105 into a P.1121-esque aircraft for a while now, but I've been stuck on the intake.  :banghead:  Maybe I'll 3D print one.

It's ok, I don't hate you, I love this!! :wub:
