"David Jones" concept Thunder Fighter (1:50 scale)

[mijob]

I love the way you build those exhaust .

 

[ASC Mclaren]

This looks great like all of your builds!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you both!
I have to say that at 1:50 scale, it is a bit challenging (especially when it comes to implementing the finer details and greebles).

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here is another small update.

These are the parts for the sponsons (Pulsar Laser Cannons system).


The sponsons (Pulsar Laser Cannons system) are assembled. I also raised some of the details.
I have to say that (at this scale) these are very fiddly. So, take your time while you are assembling them. Not only that, but be prepared to print out new parts, because it is very easy to rip/tear the parts.


The sponsons (Pulsar Laser Cannons system) are in place.


So please say tune to your local Earth Directorate broadcasting channels for more updates.

Here are the parts to finish off the underside and landing gear.


All of the underside components are attached.


The front landing gear strut is assembled.




The front landing gear strut is now in place.




So please say tune to your local Earth Directorate broadcasting channels for more updates.

Thank you sir!!!

Here is the canopy.

I adhered the canopy parts to large sticky/packing labels.


Then cut the parts out that needed "windows" and attached them to both sides of clear acetate.




The canopy parts are assembled.




The "anchor points" of the canopy are attached.




The rest of the canopy is attached.















This project is finished!
Thank you for viewing.

Thank you sir! I have to say that it was a fun and enjoyable build. Eventually, I will build the rest of the different Thunder Fighter versions (in 1:50 scale) to finish off my collection.

I decided to try my hand at making a "build thread" video. Here it is:

 

[mijob]

Nice work RB.

 

[micahrogers]

Nice video. I liked, and subscribed.

 

[zathros]

Superb! I really like this one.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you all for the kind words and support.
I will be making more videos like this (for other projects) in the near future.

Yes, well done on the video and kind of leads into a question I was going to ask anyway.

In a month our two I plan to have a go at this YouTube malarky and host a modelling channel.

Would it be acceptable to mention Zealot within the vlog as a 'go to' for all your papercraft needs?

Thank you very much for the kind words and encouragement. This is something that I am still learning about, myself. So, as I progress, there will be changes along the way.
That is a very good question. Thank you for asking. Yes, by all means. You can indeed mention Zealot. It will help garner more potential members.
I am looking forward to seeing your content.
