Yes, you are right, but I think that this model ask to be made like this. At least its my view of it.

well its the part 62a and the cone that have a joint facing outboard. I will change the angle of the 62a and invert the cone position in order that the part joint will face inward.

I started making the engines. This should be a simple work but it turns out it isn't. Some pieces in the back of the model have the wrong number in the instructions. Also the instructions aren't very clear. To complicate more, I don't like the solution of the designer in puting the joint of the...

Thank you!!:) Abdullahsamir - Well, I am building the model as if it is a ship. Each section of skin have a conecting strip that will help to glue and allign the next piece of skin. There is a risk in case of some misaligment or some design error. Until now in general everything fits well. I...

Continuing with the fuselage before starting the engines.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. Lets hope achive a good model. I next began to glue the skin of the plane. Unfortunately the position of the first piece to be glued in my opinion was not the best because I found the alignment more harder due to the well of the front landing gear. So...

Finally the fuselage skeleton is complete and glued.

The airplane starts to grow with many formers that are like a ship.

Seats and cockpit in place.

zathros - I dont think that this model have high quality. The models from "Answer" have big quality variations. Today I show you a small summary of the assembly of the two seats. I had to look for photos of the seat model used in the SR-71 because the instructions leave some things unexplained...

I got the model directly from the publisher, Answer.

Thank you so much for all the comments!

The SR 71 Blackbird was a unique aircraft. After a drought of many years, two new models of this plane have appeared in recent years. I even bought and printed some pages of KenlWest's SR 71 but with the appearance of new models I decided to buy the first one that became available. I hope I...

Thank you very much to all for your kind comments. Chuffy - You're right. It remains to show the assembly of the landing gear but that part was a little tense and uncertain that I ended up not even taking pictures.

Finally the Kawasaki Ki-45 is finished. A model that turned out to be very beautiful and that, despite not being very complicated, has some design problems that could have spoiled everything. I also leave a photograph that represents the original plane that is reproduced in this model.

Thank you for your kind comments. The engine mounts fitted very well except for the front part of the engine cover and the fact that I couldn't tell if the parts inside the landing gear wells have the left/right markings swapped. Another thing. Landing gear doors are glued and then cut for...

Snake, you are doing such a great job! I like it very much.

Very nice work!

The wings are already glued. The lining of the wings was correct but some pieces of cardboard had the left / right markings mixed up. The hardest thing was guessing whether the interior parts of the landing gear were right. I found out later that they were switched...
