AREA 88: "Flamenco Flight" (Buccaneer) Vedere: Prezentare de diapozitive Mozaic Listă 1 May 25, 2019
Well, that was easy... it’s pre-built.
2 May 25, 2019
So let’s deconstruct it and make some improvements
3 May 27, 2019
Still scrubbing off the paint, but let’s add some LEDs inside...
4 June 1, 2019
The underside panel is made of some strange rubbery vinyl. It needs to be replace.
5 June 1, 2019
Luckily I have a bit of tubing that should work.
6 June 1, 2019
A bit more fitting needed, but that’ll do.
7 June 2, 2019
Underside all wired out and glued up, so I decided to try out the base.
8 June 3, 2019
White primer... shows ALL the gaps.
9 July 3, 2019
Time to get serious on the air intakes... first then need to be thinned.
10 July 3, 2019
Reinforced with some polystyrene... I also destroyed one of the engines in the process, so a bit of scratch building using MiG-21 wheels as a starting point.
11 July 3, 2019
And looking good. Now for some painting.
12 July 7, 2019
Interior of the intakes painted. Looks pretty good.
13 July 7, 2019
Now for a bit of work on the rear of the engine.
14 July 7, 2019
Let’s get some paint on to see what still needs work.
15 July 10, 2019
Welcome to the show, Major Roundel... nice eyepatch!
16 July 10, 2019
It took a bit of squeezing (and cutting) to get them seated... but they're in.
17 July 10, 2019
Canopy on... ready to go!
18 March 11, 2020
Some masking required.
19 March 26, 2020
Underside coat of paint on.
20 March 26, 2020
Top coat of paint on... a few flecks need to be touched up.
21 March 26, 2020
Still a few more touches needed
22 March 30, 2020
Decals on. Not quite satisfied with the homemade decals, but at this scale they're so small that even cutting them is a challenge. So I guess we live with the results.
23 March 30, 2020
One last check of the lights and we're done... oops. Except for the missiles. I almost forgot about them.

Album info In order to hit the enemy's fuel storage facility, Major Roundel leads a squadron of planes through a narrow rocky chasm to evade enemy radar defences. To survive the mission, they need to dance the Flamenco of Death!
