Nice looking aircraft.

Chris, What a cool choice of finish on this one, very timely. Loved everything about your Typhoon. What's next, a F-35 in Sukhoi Su-57 camo & markings?? Catch Ya, Logan

Robert Podkoński
Great job! And this chrome trim is just fantastic!

Dave
That's a nice looking Chev.

Christian W

Very nice work and weathering.

Dave Hill
Great stuff Chris. Most inspiring! I really like how you depicted the props by not including them. Cool effect .

Gary Victory
Really nice build. Top work Chris.
A Higher Call is a great read.... very moving. Definitely worth a read.

Martin Oostrom
Very nice work Chris. The Japanese cars from that era sure were different

Chris Parsons Autor
Thanks, agreed. I really liked my little Celica

Christian W
I like this (not mainstream) color. Your engine with all that detailing and under carriage looks pretty good too. Nice kit!

Chris Parsons Autor
Thanks mate!
It's a very nice kit, I'm trying to build models of cars I or friends of mine owned from my youth. This would be one of mine, the color is true but mine was a 267 with 2 speed power glide, at the time of building I wasn't aware of Texas 3D Customs so it's got the kit engine

Christian W
Absolutely cool 🙂 I love travelling back in time - through my shelf 😉 Sadly, most of the cars of my youth aren't available as a model kit (I'm German). So only three made it in my shelf: my 1996 Accord Aerodeck (Wagon), my 1993 Honda Del Sol and 1968 Beetle. The only I am starting to work on will be my 1988 Firebird Formula. There I have to transform thd 1992 by Monogram. That's the nearest to get.

Nice ride!

Awesome build. My father has a 73' in a plum crazy-like color.

Martin Oostrom
Lovely.
Nice blue too

Chris Parsons Autor
Thanks!

István Szücs
The engine bay looks so nice with the wiring!

Martin Oostrom
I have no love for the Chevelle. I don't know why.
I do know that you build a very nice model 👍🏻

Bob Hall
Very, Jack Reacher ! 🤘😎🤘

Martin Oostrom
You do build them pretty.
Great job Chris. I love the colour change on the stripes

DerMattes
Nice one! How was the build?

Dave
Beautiful

Chris Parsons Autor
Hi @ DerMattes I took a fairly strategic path with the build expecting troubles, the kit didn't disappoint me there.the fuselage is split into 4 pieces, 2 front halves and 2 rear halves with the break right behind the wing, there's a step at the joint no matter how you build it either lengthwise or across the section, I added a strip of .010" lengthwise to shim out the sides (widening the rear section) then super gluing the joint and the seam, the wings top and bottom alignment pins do not correspond to the alignment holes, I cut them off and aligned the top and bottom halves as I went, the wings should droop allowing the outriggers to contact the horizontal but they do not. There is a very good tutorial on line on how to fix the issue, I decided to live with it. Aftermarket decals, Tamiya paint and that's that….hope that helps.

DerMattes
Thanks Chris!

Sherif Sharmy

I was indeed expecting a CF-121 Redhawk (aka "Stratocaster") to appear some day in our newsfeed... Good job!

Chris Parsons Autor
Thanks mates!
I did another...(a Mig 29) as well it's on here somewhere too

Ben M
Good idea

Robert Podkoński
Cool!

Gundamn0080
fantastic looking!~

Chris Parsons Autor
thanks buds

Chris Parsons Autor
Thank you very much!
The windows were a simple (well simple compared to other work) job of scanning the Nazca decals sheet of the cabin windows (he includes the windows as decals) then cutting the paper scan out, using pva, gluing it to the side of the model and using a grinding tool in a Dremel to drill and grind out the shape created by the paper decal. Then re-wet the paper template loosening the pva glue and scrubbing away the paper template...easy as sliding on ice.

Michael Kohl
Ha, piece'a'cake!!! 😉

Thanks mate for the detailed explanation. I had a similar problem civilizing my Focke Wulf Fw-200 from a (military) C-, to the civil A-version but dreaded the effort and doubted my skill. So I chose a different approach.

Again. The -8 is a beauty and all the effort you put in catches the attention. For civil aviation my model of the year.
