Thank you for your kind words, mates... Just got a bit closer to the finish... Mounted the two side nozzle pods and thought they do not sit 100% perfect they hide most of the faulty stuff i mentioned. Overall I am very content with this step :)

Homestretch would be said a bit to early but... its raining out here so the final glueing stretch for today Main engine compartment is finished. exhaust nozzle completed and mounted. Small parts are fabricated and glued to the model. Well at least it turns out to be a beauty when this bird is...

Good morning Exhaust nozzle is completed and I am going on with the inner ring which holds the nozzle assembly and some small parts. Parts for the next step (some detailing around the engine) are cut out and waiting for edge coloring... I think I am off for some geocaching now

Well as I am a beginner too (derived from plastic and R/C models) I can support my two foreposters to use white glue as the glue of choice. To be honest I tried almost everything from Glue sticks over non odorant UHU glue and so on and I stuck to white glue and kittifix cardboard glueb (kittifix...

Same to me here building the SHADO Interceptor. I am amazed how perfect the curved parts are made. A pure joy, even if the building experience (like mine) is limited.

Last update for today (I think ) The exhaust nozzle is partly completed and some more parts have been cut. Now I am going on to red wine and admire my work a bit

Thank you for your kind words Tonino :) I totally agree with you. I should have looked a bit better for straightfoward surfaces for my 4th model (Well at least my 4th complex model with more than 16 parts ;) ) Next time I know better but this build is teaching me so much that I am really looking...

Some small steps further. Luckily the Intaks and fairings cover most of the mistakes. I decided to not look so close at the zoomed in pics because on the pics the model looks way more worse than it does in real life... Maybe I should get a badder camera ;) Anyway... The fairings are mounted and...

I like that view too. Looking really forward to exterminate the wrinkles and finish this baby. Of course the cockpit windshield will be redone :)

Second intake finished. Next steps are to complete the fairings and mout them to the model...

Well to get back on topic (I really loved the excurse... please more of that :) ) a quick update I just finished one of the "Air intakes" or whatever they are. I think it came out good. The test fit is OK and it will cover some building mistakes as I hoped. The wrinkled cockpit section will be...

No need to excuse :) I by myself like to look at beautiful women :) Just trying to correct the errors at the moment :)

I am watching the series again via Youtube :) Having a blast and getting good motivation... Hopefully I can fix the mistakes :)

So... moving on a bit. Finished the first page of Uhus build blog. I am a bit disappointed with the result but I hope most of the bad building (mostly the aft hull section and the bottom) will be covered up with the pods and engine compartments. I decided to finish the model and the look at the...

Screwed it up a bit and trying to minimize errors :) More building pics soon ;)

Modelers helping modelers :) You are welcome.
