Ira Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 SPOILERS!!! I cut 2 lengths of 5/16th inch wide Plastic Strip and glued them in place to extend the Spoilers... I made 2 Jet Engine Mounts from Sheet Plastic and attached them as shown. This View shows the Engine Mounts and all 6 of the Pegasus Fins! Side View! Hope you like it so far...

bobthehobbyguy Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ira, Looking good as always. Wish they would reissue the pod racer seems like the engines are perfect for 1/24 or 1/25 scale. See the Olds Aerotech in the background and I saw that in the Quad bike you were doing it next. Any in progress photos of it yet? bobthehobbyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoatGuy Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This is excruciatingly cool !! I will definitely be following this. I agree with the P51 idea, but maybe mix in a little John Force with it ? Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've been watching this one, Ira, and it's been a blast (like all your projects)! I sometimes wonder why you bother buying kits at all; I'd love to see what you would do completely from scratch. O.K., now that I've stroked your ego (deservedly); the round portholes just don't seem to go with the lines of this flier. Other than that, I couldn't have done better myself.... Alright, I couldn't come anywhere close to this myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 When I saw the first posting I thought, NO don't cut up a good kit. Now after seeing progress I'm impressed. So impressed I finally signed up for this forum just so I can say I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for the completed model. Thanks for the kind words Rusty!!! Welcome to the forum...

Ira Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 ROUNDING THE INTAKES!!! I rounded out the inside of the Intakes with "Half-Round" Plastic Strip and Putty... Got the Fins and Spoilers molded in, nice & smooth. Most of the Body & Underbody work is done now, so I applied some more primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wow Ira this is a great idea! With all the cutting and fitting it is definitely my kind of build! Hmmm I have a robotech model downstairs.............gears are now turning. Keep up the great work I am for sure watching this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimarra Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If I may be so bold... This fantastic build screams for a Red Bull Racing paint scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i agree with Keith Pegasus needs some wings redbull wings that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB08 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You don't know me. And this is crazy! But your model skills... ARE AMAZING!!!! This is unreal!! Like many others have said, to have your imagination with modeling skills would lead to never ending fun. Heck, by using a sharpie on my last model I thought I had entered into a new frontier. Compared to this, I'm still on the porch. Very nice work!! Can't wait for the end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
