Another fossil from under-bed-box - F-19 by Monogram :)

Because I have problem with F-105 decals (they're not cooperate with SET and SOL and I don't know what to do) I dug out another hibernated model 1:48 F-19 by Monogram:

16 Squadron!  Excellent choice for your Monogram Mystery Plane. 

Are you going to keep the rotating weapons bay and silly little missile shape?  That is the one part of that kit that always bugged me and twice I have tried to convert it to a pair of doors but seem to run out of motivation after I clear out the inside of the bottom half of the fuselage and start looking at the big open space and thinking about how I should go about giving it some features.  The second attempt is sitting here at the house waiting for me to gain some interest in finishing it one of these day.

I'm thinking about something like CSRL from B-52/B-2/B-1 but I don't know if it'll fit into this strange shaped missile bay.

I removed the interior walls and bulkheads that are molded to the bottom half of the fuselage.  This provides a couple more millimeters of internal volume but still not much towards achieving enough space to mount a number of individual weapons.  I was hoping to create some features on the inside of the fuselage to suggest stringers and ribbing with a new bulkhead fore and aft with a left and right weapons bay door. 

If you were to change the scale to 1:144th or 1:72nd scale you would certainly have a lot more room inside for weapons in these two scales.  Of course that also requires a modification to the cockpit and the landing gear to put things into proportion as the smaller scale would then represent a much larger and heavier aircraft which would be hard pressed to use the landing gear parts included in the kit.  One solution to the landing gear would be to just close it up and have the model posed in flight.  The other choice is to find suitable landing gear parts from an airliner model.  Switching the cockpit to a smaller scale gives you a chance to look at a two-seater arrangement like the F-15B/D/E, F-16B/D, or the F-14 with a tandem cockpit arrangement or maybe something side by side like the F-111, Su-24, and Su-34.  The tandem seating arrangement would be the easier of the options to take as anything done in a side by side arrangement is going to require some serious body and fender work.

Now that's stopped me from any further experiments. I have no chance for removing any interior parts because top and bottom are glued together since 2011 :)

I began today in the morning with this:


After few sessions of priming, preshading and airbrushing "Mystery Plane" looks like here:

Make it a strategic reconnaissance platform? Or arm it with a single Dr. Doomsday's Bucket O'Fusion to kick off the end of the world? A stealthy aircraft would be just about perfect for a pre-emptive decapitation strike on the enemy capital/headquarters.

**edit to add - this is another one that I'd like to find to add to the stash**

That was quick and it looks quite fetching with the subdued roundels.

That' s should be called "flu effect" :) You know, caught, temperature etc... and of course no chance of going out somewhere.
