Rotation is well hidden. To rotate your photos, open your album. Click on "manage". Then turn on the "advanced options" toggle. You will now have the ability to rotate photos in the album.

Thank yall
Im not a rivet counter or anything but.....
The more i looked at the kit boom i could not figure how it would work ..
Revell had their boom right im also going to support mine as they did and use poles instead of ratlines. Which tie down inside of the work area ?
Im not feeling that one either lol
Again thanks

A Lindberg kit? Seen them but never got one, yet. That looks amazing.

finished painting the AT gun crew today

Thomas Wirsching
Project finished😊👍

Kate Ward
Nice! What did you use for the grass?

Mathias Decommere
That grass is very convincing!

Thomas Wirsching
Thank you Kate and Mathias. That gras diorama piece was from dennisminiaturesdesign.de/shop/diorama/ a german producer of 3d printed figures and some other stuff. I´ve bought it from Modellbau König in Germany. I am not sure if they still carry it. I was not overly impressed as I had to cut quite substantial parts of the corners because the grass was applied irregularly there and looked ugly. I got a discount for that by the dealer and kept it for a while didn´t knew what to do with it until I decided for this diorama.. For this small scenario it did fit perfectly 😊

Guy Rump
Great dio, figures are excellent! 👍

Doubtingmango
The grass certainly looks great after you finished with it, and those figures are stunning!

Very good diorama and photography. A realistic and dynamic scene.

Shar Dipree
Looks great!

Hi

Juergen Klinglhuber
I got this kit for a reduced price on a flea-market - due to the fact that the cockpit and seat were missing. The former owner spoiled it or put it aside - I don't know exactly. But it wouldn't be me not taking this challenge. Lets go and scratch an Eurofighther cockpit...

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting challenge

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your interest Lukasz. I joint the fuselage last night & the cockpit did fit 🙂
pics will follow soon.

Dietmar Kollmann
Nice start., Jürgen.

Great scratch work on the cockpit. Looking forward to see the final result.

Guy Rump
Excellent cockpit, following! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi mates - thank you for your nice words on my scratch work. Time consuming - but It came along nicely and better than I did expect.

Michael Kohl
Following too.

Robert Podkoński
A little late, but watching with pleasure 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
Welcome. No worries - it's summertime again (progress is slow ... 😉 )

Harry Eder
Nice scratched cockpit! Watching with interest! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Harry. Welcome.

Juergen Klinglhuber
As the cockpit is done I have to catch up with the Eurofighter Typhoon - "Austrian Typhoons" 7L*WB | Album by jott (1:72) build which is almost done. Beside livery the kit is 1:1 the same, so making up leeway isn't that hard I hope.

I got the Mod 11 Block 1B version of this kit because I found it on sale for a good price. What I didn't know (until I started building it) is that this kit is basically RPG's MK -15 Phalanx CIWS kit plus the different parts needed to build the Mod 11 Block 1B version. I wasn't paying close enough attention to the instructions when I started building, and ended up assembling the tracking radar enclosure using a panel for the standard MK-15, and I didn't catch the error until after the glue had set. While trying to figure out what to do, I discovered that this kit had all the parts to build the standard version, so I downloaded the instructions from Scalemates, and happily continued building the standard MK-15 . . . until I got to the barrel assembly. I had to drill out the barrel support blocks with much larger drills than indicated in the instructions, and then when I test fit the barrel assembly to the gun mechanism, I discovered that the barrels were about 7 or 8 mm too short. The Mod 11 Block 1B uses a shorter barrel. I eventually solved the problem by affixing a piece of brass tube to the gun mechanism to lengthen the socket that accepts the end of the barrel assembly. Once painted and assembled, the fix shouldn't be too obvious.

Hate when that happens!!!

Ben M
Great build!

Neuling
All´s well that ends well! 👍

This kit was at once challenging, satisfying, fun, and frustrating to build. Parts fit was generally pretty good, but the rubber parts were difficult to work with. The instruction drawings were very detailed, but so small that it was often difficult to see how parts were supposed to fit together. I ended up referring to photographs of the real Phalanx to understand how things fit together. The gun mechanism itself is quite detailed, with lots of tiny parts, but in the end, it's completely hidden in its mount. Most of the build time on this kit is spent attaching the huge number of tiny detail parts, both PE and plastic, and microscopic decals-- a process that requires much care and patience, but, once complete, results in the satisfaction of having put together a beautifully detailed model.
