Hi,
I'm starting my new project EuroFigter. I'm plannig to build it as an expo model. To do this I started from missiles, fuel tanks and all pods available in the kit:




They need a lot of attention, I mean a lot of putty, sand paper.

Trumpeter attached to this model some color painting schemes where we can find info how to paint and put decals on missiles which are not in the kit like GBUs and Sidewinders:


There is also a good scheme for plane painting:


After some putting, sanding, scrubing I end up with this.
Missiles:


Engines:


And a lot of other stuff:


And here is the composition. All missiles and one engine:

Recently I received metal landing gear (those in the kit are awful):


And I added some wires to the front one (main landing gear is quite good):


I also have finished ejection seat:


And started some works on cockpit and the space behind it:


To finish with this:


Landing gear bays are quite good, I'm not planning to add anything here:


Some electronic devices which I’m planning to show:

Looks great, Gelerth.

Looking forward to see more.

Loving all the wiring. Just up my street!!

Look forward to the rest of the build.

Because this will be an expo model I would like to show radar which is included in the kit. To do so I had to remove part of fuselage:


And I had to add some parts and wiring to radar:










Engine will be on display too, and since the one provided in the kit is a little simplified I had to add some wiring and plumbing:



Because engine cannot just lay on the ground I had to scratched build stand for it:


And after a while I thought that I need some wheels attached:


The same applies to the missiles and fuel tank so here you go. Stands made from balsa wood:



And some info boards:

Wow, that is an impressive attention to details, looks great! I really liked the wheels on the engine stand. That is is the kind of detailing that really makes an exception, well done!

What kind of glue and tools for applying it are you using?

Thank you.
I'm using mostly thin cement from Tamiya (the one in the bottle with green cap) for gluing all kind of plastic parts.
For gluing metal parts with each other or with plastic I use CA glue.

When it comes to tools I use only tweezers with very sharp end.

Finnaly. I finished painting armament:

Wow, just my sort of detail. Good work!!

I'm keeping my eye open on this one.

Very impressive build sir!I like the scratch built wheels on the stand!if there were a jaw dropping emotion con it would be here good job

Thanks guys. It is nice to know that someone is watching my build and even nicer to know that somebody is enjoying it.

But in the meantime in world of Onethirtytwo I made some small progress:



And a pinch of hours later:
Sir, we have mounted air ducts and one engine, sir:


But then, suddenly HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
A huuuuuge gap between upper and lower parts of fuselage:



I had to call Jack Bauer to solve this issue.
So first I cut in half, expand, glue in some plastic this piece of something:


then for couple of times I had to putty and sand it to finally get blisters on my fingers and this:


Some more putting and sanding:


after few doses of horses tranquillizer I end up with this:

Some progress:

Finally some preshading and base color:

Hi!

A very, very promising WIP report! I will stay tuned. Very good work!

I'm doing some wash. Also landing gear was installed:

Small update (some weathering and all decals):

I started to wash, but since this model will be an expo model, so I'm trying make it not to dirty:
