Well done with the fixes.

You have some serious naval work going on. So many ships in such a short time - impressive!

[Modelcrazy]

Thanks Lyle and Torben.
I usually have at least one ship on the bench. Right now, I have two.

That rocks! I need to get my shipyards going again. It's been too long....

Nice work on the F-35. I'm taking notes on all of it. And the cockpit is grey.

[Modelcrazy]

Thanks Mike, cockpit pictures of anything other that the IP are a little difficult to find. I did paint some of the interior grey but because of a bad angle, lighting and the seat in the way it couldn't be seen clearly. Looking at your pic though, I appears I didn't apply quite enough even though, again, the picture doesn't show the grey walls and it's a lot less blue. I'll need to go in with a 10/0 brush and fix some areas.



Thanks for the great shot of the fan color...it is white and not light grey.

You are a machine with all these builds going on Steve!!!

It's my understanding that a lot of trouble can be expected with Kitty Hawk kits but so far you've been blasting through that Raptor build pretty well. Looks great so far.

[Modelcrazy]

Yeah, I've encountered the nose problem and after some interior painting of the ducting is complete, I'll get to experience the fan driveshaft issue. After that, I understand it goes quite smoothly and turns out well. The kit doesn't include any weapons other than the AMRAMs which is a disappointment. I guess the RN blokes haven't loaded her up yet. I may leave it in stealth mode and leave the AMRAMs off. I have a 1/48 F-15 that my benefit from some extra weapons.

Smithsonian Channel had a show recently called “Rise of the Supercarrier” about the building and trials of the Queen Elizabeth. They are flying F-35s and helps off her. On on of the episodes, this cover WBA’s referred to as the “toilet seat”.
