I also attached the targeting pod and gatling turret with magnets, love these things!

Finished the rocket pods sliders, made some countermeasure boxes for the tail.

Finished the missile racks and fixed them (I can slide them on and off) and started a new version of the rocket pods.

Got DSPIAE’s MT-C circular cutter. Build quality looks really nice. Looking forward to testing it out!

More work on the missile pods. Still have some details to add. Glued the missiles on, couldn’t be bothered to pin everything and didn’t have small enough magnets. Also detailed a bit the gatling and made heat sinks for the exhausts.

Making some missiles. They’ll go on 4-missile pods. I’ll remake the rocket pods, current version can be improved.

Wasn’t happy with the previous turret so I made another one. Still some details to be added.

Now with tail stabilizers! Damn I love beveling.
June 25, 2025 at 8:10 AM
Making tailplanes, I’ll also add vertical stabilizers.

Built the sensor turret to be able to figure out the placement of the gun.

Very early work on the gun turret. Always love making gatling guns!

Shortened the tail end by 8mm. I like it better!

Did some cleanup on the body and worked on the wings and tail. Not yet sure on the tail. I want it oversized but I’m still figuring out the proportions. Might have to prime the kit to get a better view of the whole thing.

I made the wheels by cutting a 1mm slice out of a styrene tube and sandwiching it between two pieces of 1mm styrene sheets.

More work on the wings. Going to clean up the body with some Bondo to be able to glue the engines.
April 10, 2025 at 7:49 AM
Now with wings (sort of)! I’ll add landing gears at the end of them (and a 3rd on the tail).

Now with a radome! I’m still experimenting with the height of the rotor. The blades are currently barely avoiding the tail. From what I’ve seen, rotors are not always parallel to the body so I could try lowering the front end.

Getting there.
March 13, 2025 at 7:47 PM
Wheeeeeeee!

Bit more work on the connecting links. Could’ve tried making the actuators more detailed but I can be arsed. Next is the base and the top radar.
March 11, 2025 at 8:40 AM
And now for my favorite part: getting bogged down in adding minor details instead of getting stuff done.
March 6, 2025 at 1:57 PM
I started working on the rotor, now it’s looking more like an helicopter!
March 5, 2025 at 8:54 AM
More work on the engines and the tail.
February 10, 2025 at 12:28 PM
Strengthening and filling up the engine parts with some plastic card before adding the epoxy.
January 28, 2025 at 9:36 AM
I worked a bit on the engines. Made the intake by sawing through a box I glued on the part. Exhaust is a tube sawn in half and extended with plastic card.
