Looks great! Such an under served piece from the Indy trilogy. I keep meaning to kitbash one from German bomber kits. This is off to a great start.

Yeah, this is great! I'm really going to love seeing this!

This project is coming along nicely! Can't wait to see more.

Shame there aren't more Indy kits out there.

This model is awesome. I'm so glad someone is finally making a Flying Wing replica. Can't wait to see the finished product. Great work!

Ok a little late but here they are. sorry for the Cell Pics. couldnt find the card to my Camera.

just a rough fit. going to make a Jig to position the wings on the body and hold everything in place for final smoothing over.




And the start of fitting the front landing gear. As always i try to show all the dirty work. because these things dont magically go together by themselves.




thanks for looking. any questions or comments. go for it.

Looking good I always love the dirty pics......it's cool to
see how something goes from rough to cleaned up,
that's usually where you can learn things! The bad phone
pics make it look grainy......like the old model building shots
you would see of the guys working on them in the studio! LOL

Kindah cool!:thumbsup

Awesome...awesome, awesome. Looks great! Do you have pics or even the files for the ribs? What program did you use to draw them out?

Keep up the great work and keep those pics a-coming!

I have all the files for the ribs. they were drawn out in autocad and laser cut.

Thanks glad you like it.

Couple quick pics. Mounted the landing gear to a board to keep everything in place as i work on it. got the wings even and everything is where it should be. ran out of primer so just a quick dusting to see what i need to fill.

Thanks for looking.

Very impressive, are you going to have a spinning rotor?

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Yes the props will spin. And landing gear will roll

Oohh, I like what I'm seeing Al...and then you had to add: the props will spin and landing gear will roll:eek Way cool!!

 

[3d-builder]

Wow looking great it's huge!

 

[glunark]

Just need to make a slicable Pat Roach in the same scale.

 

[Cadeus]

I am glad you are still sharing your work, Al. You are awesome!

Got a little done on this. The Engine Nacell and fin with the prop. (note the nacell is not level due to front landing gear removed) and its leaning forward. Still need the intake on the under side of the wing and the cockpit. also going to reprint the landing gear. for the final model.

Heres a few pics. questions, comments. feel free.
