Landlubber Mike
Thanks for following guys. Lochsa, you're right about the canopy. There are fit issues in general with this kit - most of which aren't too difficult to deal with - but the canopy is a bit of a mess. I'm not really looking forward to that part of the build.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here too!

Landlubber Mike
Thanks for joining Robert!

Nice detailing and progress 👍

Transall NG
A nice and strong landing gear !

Landlubber Mike
Thanks guys! Transall, it seems a lot stronger than the kit parts which were made from pretty thin plastic.

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful work, congrats!

Landlubber Mike
Thank you Pietro! Still a long way to go. In the middle of priming the fuselage and having gap and other problems popping up. This is the build that never seems to end 🙁

gorby
Amazing work on the landing gear.

Landlubber Mike
Thanks Gorby! This was my first time trying to scratch build landing gear. Took me probably 20 hours 🙁 I ended up using Albion Alloys brass tubing for a lot of it, along with music wire, copper wire, plastic tubing, and other materials. I've bumped it a few times already and it is very stable so fingers crossed it makes it to the finish line!

Mr D
Nice 😀👍 a water-bird , nice work and like the extras

Landlubber Mike
Thanks Mr D! Really appreciate it!

Jennifer Franklin
I love all the scratch building, especially the landing gear; it is very nice! It's a great result.

Landlubber Mike
Thank you very much Jennifer!

Michael Kohl
Time to replace the teaser picture with one of your build. 🙂

Landlubber Mike
That might jinx me!

Michael Kohl
Oh yeah. You gotta be super-careful with that. This site is full of black magic. Pssst. Between us: I know for sure because it's the only explanation how some guys here achieve their otherworldly results.
Happy modelling - but watch your back 😉

Landlubber Mike
Yeah, I know what you mean. Some people here are ridiculously talented!

I ended up finishing the JRS-1 tonight. Finally pictures in my album. And Michael, I did replace the teaser picture with my final build - now that it's done and stored in my glass case, much less risk of jinxing myself!

gorby
WOW Stunning result Mike!
Looks like you might be one of those ridiculously talented people. 😉

Guy Rump
Excellent modelling. 👍

Neuling
I agree with gorby and Guy. 👍👍

nikfrost
Looking good. What options do you get for the trawlers name?

M0rce
Hi nikfrost.
Just 1, Ross Jackal.
But as I have deviated on the colour scheme, I may make one up. Hoping to find some rub on letters at the hobby shop.
Any name suggestions? (Question open to all of course 🙂 )
Have a good day.

Ben M
Bob Ross

nikfrost
Thanks M0rce. I live near the Humber Estuary which is connected to the North Sea, my suggestion would be Mud Shark haha.

CaptGPF
Love the realistic rust effects dotted about the ship!

M0rce
Hi everybody,
Thanks for your comments and ship name suggestions
I didn't manage to find any rub on letters at the hobbyshop, but got a few sheets of single.letter decals...
Not sure haw that's going to work. Got to.pravtice that a bit before I attempt on the model.
Keep ship name suggestions coming.
