Holger Kranich
This is , what i was waiting for! Go Augie, go!😢

Augie Autor
Hehe Thanks Holly, first challange was to free the cockpit frame from the fueslage, as its a single molding..

Augie Autor
OK, so.. work so far..

Removed molded seat.. and rebuilt the cockpit.
Removed the canopy from the body
Fitted mesh intake filters (from tights)
sorted replacement seat.. and nose gear..

Duncan Cook
WAs this plane eever build?

Augie Autor
Nope.. the F-19 was never built..

But i just love the shape of the kit...

Augie Autor
Found the replacement nose gear i'll use.. from an F/A-18.. big and heavy

Bill Gilman

Steve Wilson
A very stealthy start to your build, now "WHAT IF" I hadn't said that😢

Augie Autor

Mike Kryza

Holger Kranich
Really an eyecatcher! Great work! Love it!

Augie Autor
Thanks guys.. sorry willy no wing fold as too small😉

more work to do yet.. airbrakes need rebuilding.. the originals were molded into the wings.. and were different sizes 🤔

Mike Kryza
I like the greenish camo - looks good.

Augie Autor
Thanks Mike 🙂

Vitor Costa
Hello Augie 🙂

Very nice camo, i think that is a very happy color combination! Very eye catcher and original too. I like it.

Dirk Heyer
Hi Augie,
it is always very impressive to see your amazing results here on scalemates. You are really exceptionally!
A girl who builts so well and so consequently like a maniac!
The camo is a great choice and make this outstanding frisbee very attractive!
Well done and a clean built. Only the canopy is a bit thick in front, but it`s only a minor point!
Thx for sharing
Greetz

Really nice camo on that whiffie.

We have an competition in our local club, each of us building the Mig-37 🙂

Duncan Cook
Where is that 1:48 Augie Figure sitting in the cockpit?.😉

Wilfried Bogaerts
No wing fold ?? Strange ... ohoh now I noticed, the tailfins crooked inwards before the glue had fully cured ! Ya think ya can still fix it ? 😉 Maybe leave it as is, it really looks neat !

Augie Autor
heheh thanks guys..
@Dirk yeah its a bit thick, going to be thining it down while i sort the airbrakes
@ducan.. yeah i will have to do a figure sometime.. only downside will be doing long purple hair!

Augie Autor

No wearthering, as well they are composite..😉

Holger Kranich

Holger Kranich
Well my dear, very good! Its raining a lot so i can model! But as soon as sun appears i´m out to get a sunburn (sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm...) I love the look of your F-19, you brought a lot of childhood rememberings back! THX!😢
