Great progress! Those are some chunky landing gear
Thanks,

Thanks John! It sure is that, but the Jag was designed for rough field operations so it's understandable I guess.keavdog wrote:Great progress! Those are some chunky landing gear
Thanks Tom! ooooh! I bet it was fun in 1/72, it was hard enough in this scale!BlackSheep214 wrote:She’s looking good so far. I remember gluing those damn stagger gears on the 1/72 scale kit I did. The nose gear wasn’t too bad though.

That looks cool John - it's a hell of a long nose on the two seater!

Coming along nicely. Those landing gear look pretty neat!

You're right about those trailing arms looking weird on the landing gear Stuart. Definitely different but looks like you're pulling that and the rest of the build off very well. Looking forward to more on this one.

Thanks Gents - apologies for lack of progress on this one, I've had a manic week of hell this week prepping for an audit (worked all weekend) and I've not had any bench time at all - I currently have the migraine to prove it.
I'll get back to it over the weekend hopefully!

The airframe is pretty much finished and ready for paint. Mike's earlier comments about the poor fit of this kit still stands, but I've built worse!
I'm going to turn to the load out first, before I start painting.
Cheers!

I like it! Look good!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
