Well my friends. After a little break, I'm retake my FGMM builds.

At this time I'm show the F2Y Sea Dart build, another jewl of Rob Carleen to FG.

Besides is a nice kit this assembly is not for begginer, the form shapes is very complex...

But I like build this model...

Firts step is a build fuselage sections, careful with hidro form shape...

I glued all sections at this time is need a great precision with aligment, after all sections dry I cutting the hole for wing with a sharp cirurgical N° 11 scalpel...

I made the rear engine deck, and make the wings. The wing reinforcement forming is very very necessary to form the correct shape of the wing...

After I build the turtle back, is a most complicated part in this model, is very difficult fit, glued and form the air intakes...

Cotinue in the next post...

After a trauma to build Turtle Back, im starting the exaust rings and fairing...

After all installed, I made the canopy and tail...

I glue all major components and place to undercarriage subset and atuactors...

I place hidroskis and undercarriage pieces in this places and made a cardboard pitot tube and painted, this results...

In the next topic...

Considerations:

Is a very nice and atractive model, and I believe the only papermodel of F2Y, but is not for begginers, I try to build two times, only in second tentative I completed with sucessful the build...

See you the next time.

Well done Pericles. Your prodigious building is rekindling the building urge in me! Hopefully, some 1/144 builds will soon appear, but none will rival your successes!
