Good thing you have the 1:72 kit, the 1:48 is wholly different, terrible actually. 🙂 Welcome aboard.

Thanks! I really like the model so far, other than the sink marks, the cockpit looks amazing out of the box.

Spanjaard
really good looking cockpit!

Andy Ball
Looks a super start Carlos, may I take a Top Gun pew?

Carlos Martin kirjailija
Thanks! I'm really pleased so far. As usual with jets, I'm struggling sanding the interior of the air intakes.... Any tips welcomed.

Donald Dickson used a very interesting method to make that smooth in his F-16 build

Or a little cheating....F-14 Tomcat - Seamless Air I..(Quickboost QB 72 634, 1:72)

Spanjaard
cheating? one wonders why Academy does not include them already😉

Carlos Martin kirjailija
Wov, I didn't know the trick or the cheat. I will give it a third layer of prime today and if it doesn't look reasonably well I will have to try something new.
