UFO Interceptor from Uhu02

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

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 finished I guess...
Looking forward to the next steps. Maybe I will cut out some parts later

It sems like you have the hardest parts done, I could be wrong, but it does look great! I don't think the ones inn the show looked this good. They started looking pretty banged up by the end! :)

A small update. I worked a bit on the Thruster housings. Instead of the glueing tabs Uhu created I decided to butt glue the housings. Was a bit fiddly but at least it worked.
Next step is to complete the thrusters (parts are already cut and edge colored) and the the engine section is finished. As you can see on the last pic the part number decreases very fast. Only one page of parts is left and the most work seems to be done.

Thank you, Tonino for your kind words. You are very welcome. I will have some extra time for building the next time since I am "reorienting" my job ;)
At the moment the glue on the skids is drying out and I am printing the new canopy so the old wrinkled one gets away quickly.
Will post some pics later :)
 
Everything looks great. You are doing a fantastic job. You're right that getting rid of tabs is fiddly and takes time, but it's worth it to get that smooth seam. Nice work!
 
@McTschegsn Let me be the first to congratulate you on a brilliant model build. :Bravo:
You have certainly done it justice!!!!
UHU02 will be proud to see your build, I'm sure. thumbsup

As you said, you have learnt a lot from this build, and that is the most important: Learning and having fun at the same time.

Well done!!! thumbsupthumbsup
I'm looking forwards to seeing what you have got next up your sleeve.;):)
