It will be Dutch. Slow progress on the cockpit. Have been pressed for building time lately.

Welcome Wim and Mike. I got the front office finished today, will put some pics up tomorrow.

That's a lot of buttons 😄
And there's a hair/wire/thingy on the starboard side, next to the console.

I presume that since you went to all that effort on the engine you are displaying with the tail off?
20 February 2018, 00:33

Yes, I will leave the tail off. I had thought about leaving the engine out, but did not like the lack of structural detail in the forward fuselage.

Very nice progress! It will be a very nice Starfighter 👍! The cockpit and the exhaust looks amazing!

Iemand heeft de kont van je Starfighter afgesneden! (someone cut your Stafighter's bum off, for those who don't speak Dutch) It's shaping up nicely us usual with your projects

Thank you James, Konrad and Wim. She has wings now and the tail feathers are all assembled and primed. Working on weapons and tip and drop tanks.

Looking at all the green stuff, was the fit that bad? Even on such a new tool kit?
26 February 2018, 04:48

That area was kind of bad. Here are some new progress shots.

All painted,clear coated and ready for decals. Will start decals tomorrow.

Nice that you make the camo version and not the gray colored.
nice progress, Clifford

Thank you all very much. @ Martien, yes I thought the camo pait job looked much better than the gray. I actually found a picture of the one depicted in the gray scheme, in the camo on the internet, so the color scheme is authenthic.

I have spent 2 days putting stencils on the top side, tomorrow I start the belly and drop tanks.
16 March 2018, 01:04

Thank you all very much. I will try and complete the decals tomorrow.
17 March 2018, 23:41

Thank you Wim and Michael, I am almost finished with the decals, just one more fuselage side to put stencils on.
20 March 2018, 20:41

Thank you Nikolaos, I finally finished the decals today. So now starts weathering.
22 March 2018, 21:34

I got the wash on it today, and the flat coat. Tommorow I will finish the weathering and start the final assembely. I will get some more pic's tomorrow.
23 March 2018, 22:18

Someday I think I will get it finished. Thank you for your kind words.
24 March 2018, 20:45

And looking good too! I like your panel lines! Weathered but subtle.
5 April 2018, 15:10

Come on Clifford, don't go and act like Peter. 😄
You can and you will finish this beast. You're almost there 👍
5 April 2018, 17:49

Very, very nice, she'll look great when finished, which I hope isn't to far away.🙂
5 April 2018, 21:50

She is finished. I was going to mount her to a base, but I do not have anything big enough right now. So I will just take some pictures, and will put some more up when she is mounted.
6 April 2018, 00:59

And thank you all for your kind words. They are much appericiated.
6 April 2018, 01:01
