Wow talk about sharp!

I really like how clearly demarcated that anti-glare panel is!

Thank for all the comments guys

BbB - I used Hobbycraft masking tape to get the straight line, if you look closely at the pics you can see some breakthrough where I curved it around the gun ports, I will rectify it with a fine brush later.

Here's a couple more photographs with the tailwheel installed

This has been modelled in the take off position, the landing position will be much lower. The tailwheel retracts forwards into the fuselage.

Thanks for looking

Wow!

I wish you will add the canopy now (no need of military roundels for me, but the canopy is the bird's eye, mandatory...)

Robomog · « **Reply #30 on:** March 05, 2018, 03:45:00 AM »

Thanks Tophe, it's nearly finished, but there has been some delay. I have recently moved from working on a lappy to having a proper table as a workbench. Unfortunately my cat, Claude, has found it too and wants to set up his neighbourhood watch from it.

We will have words..............

Remember, to cats you are staff and work for them (got a number of them around this residence).

Vuk · « **Reply #33 on:** March 05, 2018, 02:29:16 PM »

I do believe that they are very well coordinated all over the planet.

Couple of them are watching me right now...

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #34 on:** March 06, 2018, 01:32:44 AM »

Monty has his own stash...

Robomog · « **Reply #35 on:** March 06, 2018, 10:16:03 PM »

Hi all pics will be posted tonight (uk time) but I had to comment on replies.

Tophe - got the "go", we have agreed a space share scheme.

Elmayerle - you are so right, when we are in the kitchen Claude waits by the back door for Mrs Lady Mog to let him out! This is despite a perfectly good cat flap in said door.

Vuk - I believe you

GTX - That's one peurty cat. It's looking up at you defiantly and saying "no whiffing for you until I get my whiffing treats! "

Thanks Guys

Mog

Oh, don't worry (or maybe you should worry...), Monty is keeping an eye on you lot:

He's a bit older now than in that first photo...he started the hobby young.

Robomog · « **Reply #37 on:** March 07, 2018, 04:29:02 AM »

Well guys, as promised, here's the finished article. I was tempted to paint stitched scars where the engines meet the wings and christen it 'Igor' but common sense prevailed, aluminium finish and basic markings, it needed to be polished and light as possible.

So I give you my own, my very own JXP-51 Jetstang, hope you approve.

Fantastic, Mog, it looks brilliant! Nice work with the gun nose.

So I don't miss out on the cat posts here's Kylo, who has exquisite taste in models:

Wow is that ever great! I just love that big honkin' gun under the nose!

Most excellent, Mog!

Kiwizak - brilliant, brilliant photo. i'm tempted to start a cats n' worktop thread in the back bar section. BTW how many kits have you got on the go at once? there's loads !

Brian - thanks for comments

I feel unable to criticize such a marvel, I only can clap my hands...

Beautiful work!! I had wondered about that nose and I love the way you finished it.

kitnut617 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 07, 2018, 06:50:47 PM »

I had wondered what was going under the nose too, now it makes perfect sense

I like it.

Without wanting to take away from your thread, in that photo it's four Academy 1/144 Frogfoots for a friend and the Monogram 1/48 Huey Hog for me.

Robomog · « **Reply #46 on:** March 08, 2018, 06:06:41 AM »

Five on the go at once, impressive, I seem to be bobbing along on three but it's only a matter of time.......

Thanks for all the kind comment guys, much appreciated.

"hope you approve." Heck yes !

Moving from USAF to ANG, Jetstang would have served on for many years.
