Had this on my shelf staring at me for a couple of months. This comes with a ton of PE, so lets see how much I can enjoy it.

Rando Dude
Hello and welcome Nicolas, Robert and Mattes!

S M
Eager to see how you manage all the PE 😄

Bas Tonn
Lowering the HUD is your best and easiest option. Also, I'd test fitting the seats (and pilots if any)

Rando Dude
So I ran into a bit of a fitting issue. However I don't think it is the kits fault and I can really only blame my own laziness. Okay, maybe also the instructions..
The cockpit does not fit anymore with all the PE parts in it because I only scraped off the surface structures of where the PE instrument panels go instead of also filing off a good bit of the plastic below to compensate for the additional thickness of metal. In my defense, the instructions don't mention any of that...

Rando Dude
Hello there S M and Bas 🙂

I have already test fitted the seats and they don't fit. It's really tight in there but in this case has nothing to do with the PE parts. The seats just need to have a bit filed off on the sides to get them in.
I am probably going to rip it apart again and redo the whole thing. Not just for the cockpit but for some other issues (blame my laziness again lol) that need fixing.
Thanks to the magic of this being a Dual Combo I won't even need to buy a new kit..

Hi, so far, so good.
I think, your problem is the incorrect alignment of part A10. It is too steep.

Rando Dude
Hi Neo, thanks, you are correct, it was incorrect alignment 🙂

Tip to anyone interested in building this:
The fuselage has ejector marks on the inside in the cockpit area. Remove those, unless you really like fitting issues.
The alignment pins of the fuselage also don't align very well. Remove those too.

S M
Good advice! 👍 I have wanted to build one of these, but I want to make Estonian version.

Rando Dude
Some more updates:
As mentioned, I had to open the fuselage again, mostly to salvage the internal engine parts and most of the PE from the cockpit. But I feel I am on a good track now.

Another tip: Test fit at every step! This is not one of Eduards best fitting kit I must say.

Cool build! Makes me feel like I should build mine as well. I am definitely learning from your experiences here!

Hello Capt, Thomas, Mirko and Łukasz, welcome to the show.

Bernd Grün
I'm in. 👍 Following with interest.

alessandro magrelli
Very good, working on the same (schemes A and B)

Rando Dude
Hello Bernd and Alessandro.

Well, I'm done with this one for now. It took a bit longer to finish than anticipated, mostly because a lot of things got in the way and I also for a time lost complete interest in it.
The keen eye may notice that the external tanks are missing. I just forgot to paint them and when I noticed I just didn't feel it anymore. Maybe I'll add them someday.

S M
Great you managed to complete this. That figure is a nice addition👍

Ekki
Very nice result!

Roy Seine
So far looks awesome, waiting for some more pictures!

Excellent dio with amazing photos. Remarkable realism Neuling!

Mathias Decommere
That is again a very high level diorama Neuling! I love the realisme in all your work! You manage to reach maximum effect in a basic idea and your paintingskills are unparallelled. I'm always excited and curious for your next work!

Michael Kohl
Another project with all the expected but again and again cherished Neuling-qualities. Very enjoyable.

Zbynek Honzik
I totally agree with the above comments. Again amazing and inspiring result and extraordinary photos. 👏👏👏

Bob Hall
I swear Nueling, you add a few Kosovo and. Bosnia Dios, to your portfolio and you have covered all my wars I been in ! Another fine stroll down memory lane put forth by another fine creation of your mastery of art in polystyrene, bravo ! 🤘😎🤘

Eric Goichon
I always admire the realism that you manage
to achieve with your editing and your staging.
Bravo 🙏

Neuling
Thank you mates, I´m overwhelmed by your flattering and encouraging words! - Bob, an awefuly strange marine named "Camouflage" has been watching over you to ensure a safe return from all those wars ....... 🙂

Kim Branders
Fantastic Neuling.

Where does this jig come from?

Davy Vos
Haha ik moest even zoeken maar Silenzos toch Bart?

Davy Vos
Lukasz, I bought this at Aviationmegastore.com: aviationmegastore.co..odinfo&art=82206

Bart Goesaert
you nailed it 😉

Davy Vos
😄 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Many thanks for the link 👍

Spanjaard
beautiful little dio!

Łukasz Gliński
Oh man, that water! Hats off! 👍

Neuling
I agree with Spanjaard and Lukasz.👍

Cuajete
Fantastic... Very nice water effect!

Davy Vos
Thank you very much for the nice comments!

Paul Gallagher
beautiful! the beach and water is perfection - wonderful setting for your really well finished Dave

Spanjaard
may i ask how did you go from picture 4 to picture 5, how the waves were added? it is just perfect

Tom B.
Great little floatplane! The beach came out quite great 👍

Transall NG
Very nice !
Same question as Spanjaard... 🙂

Rui S
Baeutiful work and photos 👍

Davy Vos
Thanks all! Spanjaard en Transall NG, I made the waves with a product called Mod Podge. It a bit like pva glue, dries transparent. It's a decoupage product, I learned this from Boulder Creek Railroad on YouTube.

Following. I'm working on this kit too 🙂 Good job so far !!

Urban Gardini
What a lovely cockpit, great work mate!

Marius
Great progress, it will be a great model at the end. Is that the Aires resin cockpit set for the F-4F which you adapted?

John Ballman
Thanks for sharing your work. Coming together nicely
JB

Raphael Bernecole
Thank you very much to everyone for your support and follow-up 🙂

@Marius : I had the SBS Models resin kit in stock for the Revell kit. This kit is well detailed but complicated to place in the Phantom. I recommend the Aires Kit, much superior in every way 😉
