MasterJedi Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 AmTech's little jet turned out pretty good after a few scratchbuilt details. I just added the antennaes, brake lines and lines in the whell wells. Needed a bunch of puddy to level out all of the mismatches in the airframe to get a clean fit. I faired in the windscreen because it just didn't match up to a clean look. Clear parts are ok after the ole sanding and Future tech. I left the airframe clean because it just looks faster that way. The drop tank is included but I weathered it as if it came off the prop job down the line. All of the paints are acrylic with the exception of the base coat which is Tamiya XF-16 Silver Leaf spray. All in all it turned out real nice. Randy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
latormentabritanica Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Awesome! A really crisp and pretty paint job. Is the control panel out of box? Edited January 12, 2009 by latormentabritanica Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jason C-C Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Nice model. Is the intake ducting on these kits a real dog, or is there just no detail in there? I don't recall having seen with without the intake cover. cheers, Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall having seen with without the intake cover. cheers, Jason Behind the intake cover (from a Tamiya 262 with scratch handle) is the shape of a salad bowl. I thought about making some mods but it was going to be a bit of trouble with the cockpit in the way. Covers are the easy way out. Randy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
