The last post before showing the finished model. For the landing gear I used wheels purchased along with the model. I painted the backs to look like the originals with aluminum color. Otherwise, the landing gear, although it may not look like it at first glance, is relatively simple to assemble...

Thak you mijob. Let´s how it will end. There isn´t much left to show.

Another thing that went wrong. The cardboard structure of the wings doesn't seem to be right and the way I connected the wings to the engines also makes me think it's not right.

Yes, that's basically what I did.

The cockpit canopy seems to me that is designed a little out of logic. Well, the result its this. It could be better.

After some difficulties described in the previous post, here is the result. Each nacelle is basically the length of an F-16!

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...
