To light up the engines, you will need to drill out the square areas around the exhaust.

Hi Michael! I bought the LEDs from Amazon and strung them together on my own. I used a total of 6 parallel circuits with each one drawing about 9V.
I used a rechargeable 9V from Amazon - EBL USB Rechargeable 9V Lithium Batteries - 5400mWh Long Lasting LI-ion Batteries with Micro Charging Cable - and ran a Micro-USB extender to the top of the cargo bay so I can seal the kit, and recharge it later. Having put in close to 40 hours on this kit, I wanted the lighting to last. 😜

Thanks Harald, Nark Robin and DerMattes. The oil weathering just dried and I'm closing it up with the final clear coat. Will post the final shots when I can handle it again without leaving and fingerprints! 😜

Looking really good Capt. 🫡. I had exactly the same issues with the landing gear.... the 'strut' just didn't want to glue and ended up snapping, I pushed a pin up through it to try and strengthen it but it's still really wonky. Tempted to have a go at the AMT kit to see if that's any better?

Lovely stuff. The innards look fantastic with the black basing. Loving the mix of alloys to the exterior and the heat wear on re entry is inspired and something I completely missed that on mine.

Although not a fan of Sci-Fi, I have to admire your metallics! Great job!

Thanks everyone! I learned a LOT from everyone posting their builds on these forums - so I'll be passing the credits to everyone.
@Gareth - from what I can see, the AMT looks lacking on the interior details, but the engines are made to be lit up in flight mode. Didn't see a build with the landing struts.
@Gary - the idea of the re-entry staining came to me when I just happened to see the burnt metallic paint on the rack! I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. 🤔
@Finn - thank you! But I have a long ways to go to your mad diorama skills!
@Giannis - I had some challenges with the metallics - the Xtreme Titanium looked too "Plastic" to me, so I had to apply a thinned down Polished aluminum to make it shine better.
One thing I forgot to mention is the need to sand down the engine nacelles - some spots were really rough / pebbly - so sanding it down prior to laying down the metallics will save you pain and suffering later 😀

Stick a fork in it, this one's done. I'll update this later when I get around to building a base for it with some figures. This was a decent kit, but with a little more thought and effort, Revell could have made this a really cracking kit. I would definitely recommend this kit, but you will need a lot of patience when tackling the landing gears and ramps - on top of the numerous kit defects, but hey, if I can build it, anyone can! 😀

How did I miss this one? Gorgeous work, makes me want to build another! Probably going to do the n1 first, though.

Thanks John's, Robin and Rob (esp the This is the Way!)
I had to ruin a nice F-104 to figure out how to do the metallics just right! 😜

Merci beaucoup Baptist! I just bought the LEDs from Amazon and strung them together. I used a rechargeable 9V battery from Amazon - amazon.com/EBL-USB-R..teries/dp/B086GTFGPP - This way, I can recharge the battery as needed.
Thank you for your kind words, Torsten! I love your interesting choices in Sci-Fi builds 😀

Interiors looking good. I also following your build with interest 👍

Thank you Cuajete and Lukasz. It's a barbarian's short run kit but if you really want to do this plane, it's the only game in town. Comparing to this kit, a Classic Airframe looks like a Tamiya...So, let's go crazy 🤪
24 March 2022, 21:13
![](/profiles/img/25288-676-s.jpg)
Good luck with that kit! It is in my wishlist, I will pay attention!

Thank you Bernd. Yes indeed, it's not the easier way. Comparing to this kit, a Classic Airframes (or equivalent) looks like to a Tamiya 😁 But it's the only game in towm to realise this beautiful and almost confidential plane. I knew in advance it would have been a hard and long process, but also a good opportunity to push my limits. Sorry for the stagnation of the work but I'm very often far away from home for my job at the moment. Anyway, finishing this kit is part of the New Year's resolutions 🙂

Hello Moreno, thank you for your interest. I havn't mentioned it but this project is unfortunately on standby. Indeed, I have to move a lot far from home for my job at the moment and have no time for modeling. But I don't give up and plan to be back on track in a near future. Ideally, I would like to finish it before the end of the year, among other kits. I can't only focus on it to avoid becoming crazy 😁

Bonjour Franck. J'ai commencé le montage du Farman 221 de Azur et c'est aussi semble-t-il un short run. Le montage est touchy . Aucuns tenons pour l'alignement des pièces du fuselage, les ailes sont à coller bord à bord sans renforts ..etc. Je comprends donc bien votre aventure. Mais comme vous, je trouve que ces vieux avions français des années 40 ont « du charme » et il n'y a pas d'autres kits sur le marché donc on fait avec. Mais avec les produits modernes , de la patience et un peu de technique ont devrait s'en sortir. Bon courage pour la suite.

Merci Neferthorus, en effet, sans renier mes premiers amours, "Têtes Brulées" et autres "Buck Danny", j'avoue trouver au fil du temps, de plus en plus de charme aux avions de l'entre deux guerres et particulièrement des annees 30 début 40. Malheureusement, les kits dispoinbles sont souvent loin d'être des Tamigawa. Je souhaiterais arriver à un aussi bon résultat que votre magnifique Farman mais l'Amiot ne se laissera certainement pas faire. Merci pour votre example qui me stimule. Au plaisir ✌️

Good Luck with the build Frank, hope it's not as difficult as my Heller MB 174. Bon Chance. 👍🥸👍

![](/profiles/img/85488-822-s.jpg)
Thank you Cuajete and Mark for your kind comments. Unfortunately for me, even if the Heller MB 174 kit is around twenty years older, it's still much easier to build. With a Mach 2 kit, nothing goes well and everything is brute. But I accepted the mission 🙃🥴

Here's a question for you, mates.
What styrene kit would you like to see on the market that has never been done before and what scale?
Here's a shortlist of my thoughts:
1 - 1:350 Gneisenau (Trumpeter announced one a few years back, but it's never materialised)
2 - 1:35 Alvis Stalwart (one of the most iconic post-war British Army vehicles. Amazed it's never been done)
3 - 1:24 Oldsmobile Delta 88 (Ash's car from the Evil Dead franchise)
What's on your would-like-to-see list?

Its been done, but not in 1/48...C-141B. Also a good CH-3 in 1/48.
As for never been done at all, I cant think of any.

I have a resin-stalwart on the workbench. A horror kit. It really is time for a modern kit.
I wish a Puma-Helicopter in 48. 😉

Excited to see what you can do with this thing. I love the CH-37 for how unique and ugly they are. Wish someone makes this in 1/48.

Nice paintwork. Colors look good, I wouldn't worry that's an issue. Can always change the tone with a wash anyway. 👍
28 January 2023, 18:41
![](/profiles/img/119469-121-s.jpg)
Thanks! Yes that is very true. I think after the weathering I don't see the original colours too much..

A true legend! awesome painting, the chipping is just perfectly made for this particular jet, (not an easy task, theres a thin line between realistic used look and repainting the whole thing...)

Extremly nice and awesome details (overpainted insignia for example). Excelent. I'm curious how the phantom will look like in the end.
Is there a photo that you use as a reference?

Thanks for the comments!
Weathering was interesting, it is always difficult to balance realistic and nice looking. I'm glad you like it!
I used pics on the Internet and excellent fundecals instruction
for reference. And my books of course too.

I think the weathering has become great. The aircrafts were partly very weathered during the war.

Stunning looking F-4! 👍
I keep saying to myself that THIS will be the year that I pull my finger out and build one; but it never eventuates. This build has definitely renewed my desire to finally do it. 😉

Nice to have the interest, HB instructions bit weak!
