Boeing E-8C 93-0597 (Ex B707 VH-EBU)

Excellent modelling and excellent bottom photo (or whatever it's called)



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....


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


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.


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

Very cool. I really enjoy watching you work, Ray.

Coming along nicely Ray

I love your dedication Ray, I sometimes wonder how you keep on with some of these kits, keep up the great work

[RayS]

Thanks chaps,

I figured I pay the money (except this one was a freebie ) 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 :

OK Ray spill the beans on the yellow monster ...

I was waiting for someone to notice Rob.....

Here you go. It is an Italeri 1/72 CH-129 with a few mods.





And in the paint booth

Wow! Nice work. Now I have to wipe up a puddle of drool ...
