Thanks friends !
Well, during a day and a half I made more progress on this one than in one month time on the Tornado.... That says a lot, doesn't it ?
However, the books of Eagle Aviation Phantom Under The Skin Vol.1 and Vol.2 by Iaonis Lekkas & Ilias Gkonis are amazing, actually you can do anything you want, pictures are really under the skin, everything is shown with excellent pictures and it can be seen that modeler made them, no hidden areas at all, everything shown is from more angles and no " black spots " of any of them....... I contacted Mr. Lekkas with the question can I post some pictures from the book to show you what I'm talking about, sorry to say no respond yet.....
The basic idea of this project is to make a diorama, fuel system will be seen and both seats ( Eduard's Brassin seats are models for them selves so the diserve to be taken out of the cockpit and to bee seen separately ) and I will make both engines taken out, so the fuselage will be open and the engine bays will be seen as well. A big project no doubt, the biggest I ever done.
First step was to mark the areas that will be cuted out, after I cut them out. Aires gives the Electronic bays but after looking in the book I find out it is actually an Air Conditioning unit. The right is installed and looks good, fits in nice, after finishing I made the lost details right away, didn't want to leave it for later on, better this way I think.
And the start of the fuel system, first step was to made the " channel " which goes in to the fuselage,details and pipes are the next step.
