Thanks buddy much appreciated this is a nice kit for certain it is hand drawn I love them they are challenging at times. I should have used my head before I started construction, to get away from back to back former construction I should have added connector tabs duck tailed out. then add the former this would rid the appearance of the formers. Thanks again my man. Boats

thanks buddy for tuning in on the thread back to back former construction takes time and it is tedious at times but you got to work around these pesky formers. A lot of burnishing to smooth out this job. thanks man boats

Fuselage continued
Ahoy Paper Wrights
Update build report for today did not get to much done today I had to toil at work. now back t the bench got a little done thus far guys I have the after burner assembly has been installed leving all is left on the fuselage is the pilots compartment I will be on that next I removed the top flap over the pilots compartment. Next the installation of same will be done and this will conclude the entire fuselage assembly the fun part next will be the under carriage so she can stand up[ proud. since a great deal of the airplane is done the remainder of parts will present no fit issues. boats

I admire your stubbornness.I tried to build this model when it came out and failed due to really badly fitting parts (or not fitting at all).I abandoned jets after that.
Will be interesting to see it completed.Good luck. |

Under carriage assembly
Ahoy paper wrights
another update here for today, the next update will be the final reveal. for today got her legs on they were simple enough to say the least they are assembled now she stands proud ready for the ordnance and canopy and she is complete. in over view of the kit in general not a good kit it looks impressive when you review the printing and the kit but when it comes time for the construction its another story I have built worse but this kit is in and out of fit parts some are good and others are not so don't give up its expected. The wheels are made from card board disc sanded to shape colored in and installed. boats

Looks good Boats, in spite of the difficulties with the back-to-back formers. You've come back nicely I must say. Looking forward to tomorrow's reveal.

She is done
Ahoy Paper wrights
Here is the Final Reveal for the F5 Tiger 11 finished her up today time to start another build thread. Before I add the final reveal I like to Thank STRATOART for the kit much appreciated I will display this at next years convention. also all the views and replies on the thread. As for the model not bad the fit of parts are not that good in overall view skins and formers are in and out so you got to trim to fit as you build I should have carved me a balsa plug for the canopy but for the heck of it I did the kits canopy a little rough like a cobb maybe before next year I will vacu form me a canopy for the F5. Started to take some outside pictures it started to rain and that scrubbed that. Here are the finished pictures time to drag out another build. Boats
