Now just need another one with a paraphrase like "Ya know sometime this Model's gonna be finished ...".


'Signature Graphic/image'. I think I found it on Facebook...

Some progress has been made. I was not happy with the rear intake so I have been reshaping it; putty, file, sand, repeat....
Image

The engines were given some more work and I started to attach them to the wing, in boards first
Image

The out boards were bugging me, the rear edge had been damaged on both so I attempted to repair them with some card and super glue. After a few applications, I was still not happy with them so I robbed another kit of the rear nacelle sections and replaced them.
Image

Once the putty has been tidied up and the pylons rescribed they can go on the wing.

Thanks chaps,

I figured I pay the money (except this one was a freebie :D ) and need to finish them. Though I did pay for the conversion set and decals for this one.

Another engine fitted, some more detailing to go as I have to add a few detailing 'holes' down the back end.

I have almost finished all the mods I am making, One more item to scratch build before a final putty and rescribe.

I have added a few ports to the rear fuselage (under the rear door), they have warning markings around them so I think they are some sort of exhaust ports?

The final engine is installed

Not only is the subject of a Thread great to watch fantastic work being done but also seeing some snippet of what else is going on at the RayS Airfield Workshops :
