Super Étendard Fly Model 1/33 scale

[Ätherwellen]

Got my hands on this beautiful model, it looks quite difficult to build so hopefully i dont make too many errors

[modelperry]

Older Fly Models can have errors in design. Especially the hand drawn ones. Take your time. One piece at a time. Expect to adjust fit and think through build challenges carefully. That's how I try to approach these types of models.

If you get stuck, we are all here to help you figure stuff out.

You can do it.

At least you don't have to figure out the canopy part......

So far very few issues with colors matching which is nice, unfortunately there are errors in the colors of the models tail, the elevators should also have the argentine flag on them, will probably scan and recolor this issue

[Ätherwellen]

First stop in the build, the air intakes seem quite complicated and i cant figure out how to build them

Ive figured out all but the small ring like piece nor how to put the main piece onto the flat piece

See, I told you that you'd get some help. Maxe's top link, post number 24 gets you where you need to go.

Thanks Maxe for helping out!

Thank you maxe i understand how to build the pieces now so i will make some progress tonight

The tail fins were edited so hopefully i can have a slightly more accurate model, there are other issues with the colors like the lack of the anchor on the bottom of the wing, its replaced by the number 203 which is supposed to be on the folding part of the wing, but since this is on the bottom of the model its less of an issue than the tail is

I am hoping to build the model with the probe for refueling extended, not entirely sure if its possible but ill try

Engine 2's intake is completed with the help of some photos from maxe's build log

I dont really get how to install the canopy so ive been stuck trying to figure it out, tub first? Canopy first? I honestly dont know, maybe i need to trim it more? I dont have a photo but i trimmed off the flat bit that extends past the usable part
