Being a huge red bull f1 fan I'd be happy to see the logo on a model, but your right this build is unique and I think the paint scheme should reflect that!

Can only agree with the others. What a great piece and very creative building. Agree with jackwagon, it will come to you, and better not to 'copy'.

I think i have figured out the colours i want to use, now i just have to think about their location on the ship.
As for a logo, still mulling over if i even need one now?
Thanks for your input, its very much appreciated.
Just a quick video with both side engine fairings permanently attached and all the lights hard wired up.
Still blending the fairings to the wing.
Thanks for stopping by

I have been consistently following this build and I keep trying to think of something to say to express my level of amazement toward this high degree of awesome. I'm gonna have to learn a different language, 'cos I only speak English, and I got nuthin'. Wow dude. Just wow. Cheers, Sam

Morning Everyone, Thanks again for stopping by and leaving comments, it realy does help me with this thing. Well, i didn't manage to get back to the MK1, to many sausages, to much beer. ;D Had a frustraiting week trying to get a direction going for the wing tops detailing, wanted to incorperate tubing, some panels, maybe some other small details. The biggest problem for me is that because the ship is a bit twisted the two side are not symetrical so this became very obvious to me during this detailing process. Lets have a look at what i managed to come up with.....PIX The front 'blend' part of the wings needed someting to snaz it up a bit and add some interest. Ran tubing lines from the central pumping/distribution hub. I needed to fit the back detail sections so i could work on the blend area between the flaps and the main wing surface. So i painted the underside of the wing flaps in the same 90% white, grey, silver, buff mix. I had already pre-shaded this. I then removed the masking and temporarily fitted the detail sections, took a few beauty pixs. Then moved on to the upper wing/flap blend. The small pieces are only glued close to the tan greeblie, then the transition piece is glued on the outer edge of the small pieces. This top section is then floating a bit and will give when the flap is opened. Added tubing and other gubbins to the top flap assembly. Did the same for the inner flap but this section doesn't move. Added some smaller details all over Then just to see how everything looked a quick squirt of Primer on one side. Mmmmmmmmmmm ;D Quick vid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtGTc64wNeEAnd thats about it so far, there are a few gaps that need filling on the upper wing, some scribing, some additional panels, we shall see what happens. Take care Gagster McGee

It's going to take you months to pick out the detail with paint, To quote Murray Walker " I have run out of superlatives!!!

If there's an alignment/symmetry flaw in this I sure can't see it...I'm pretty sure no one else can either what with all the snazzy busy detail you've rendered so well.

Wow!! I just went through all 7 pages of this post, cleaned up the drool, and now I must say what a fabulous job you are doing on this.
If I'm honest, I joined this site because of this post...really to tell you what a fabulous your doing on it. I hope to do the same type of thing starting soon. I have identified some donor kits and am now searching for base items to get it started with.
Thanks very much for the inspiration.

Nothing wrong with a little Vodka Gag!! LOL!! Phenomenal building!!! Getting a great kick out of watching you plaster all the spares on this...I chuckle a bit when I am recognizing all the parts and they then seamlessly blend right into this Bird!

i am another that just cannot find the right words for this. it is beyond anything or any other project i have had the pleasure to watch. the jawdropping results of your incredible imagination. my words do not convey properly the amazement, respect, or envy i have for what you have done here.
i am in awe sir and wait anxiously for your next update.

Ello Peeps, Lot's to get through so this is gunna go fast. There will be a quiz Already shown you on the video but here's the new detail i added on the back bit. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer This is how the foil experiment worked, pretty bloomin good. It's actually going to represent a huge sprung loaded ram. Here it is in position. These two pieces go underneath the wings to deflect flow over the opening. Primer These pieces will cover the screw heads that hold the engines on to the wings And dry fit in position. Because of my body 'twist' issues, fitting the rear central flap assembly is going to be a nightmare. Primer Didn't like the front much, felt it needed some detailing and i needed to hide some big gaps. And then the manditory Primer shots. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer Apart from the cockpit and the detail area under the radar dish I think that's most of the building done. I got my pilot figures in the mail today and i'm a bit disapointed with their quality but nothing some Apoxie scuplt won't fix. Might start splashing some paint around tomorrow. Stay tuned Take care Gag
