ancient mariner Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Going through a spell of "lost mojo" at the moment (and for the last two months) This is something I built as my alter ego for the WIF collective ( in a parallel modelling universe ) . Hoping it will be accepted until I can get back to completing my RF Phantom. Edited October 19, 2011 by ancient mariner
rotorheadtx Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Nice work! Great way to break a builder's block!
Mike DeTorrice Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 This one looks excellent ! The F-107 had a striking appearance and this neat camo scheme certainly confirms that. Mike
ancient mariner Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Thank you all ...always helps to get the creative juices flowing. As an aside,I thought this was a great little kit of an interesting plane. I picked mine up for just under a tenner,which I didnt think a bad price in these recessionary times.
dahut Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 It looks good - Id suggest that your 'mojo' has not gone as far as you think. That F-107 kit was my first look at a Trumpeter product. I though it was a little jewel. The fact that I picked it up for $2 at a charity shop helped my opinion, too.
Alan P Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Nice whiff! Really like the feathered camo job as well.
Moofles Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 i didnt know trumpy did the F-107, will have to pick one up to complete my centuary series. Great looking model.
dahut Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 i didnt know trumpy did the F-107, will have to pick one up to complete my centuary series. Great looking model. AFAIK, its the only one.
Navy Bird Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Very cool. I have his one in my stash, but have never thought about doing a WIF. I always wondered what the pilots thought about that big intake right above the canopy. Cheers, Bill
Dr.Jellyfingers Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Weired looking aircraft, I like that alot Si.
ancient mariner Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) I was lucky enough to have a good look around the " real " thing at Pima earlier this year. Thought you may like a quick squint. Edited October 19, 2011 by ancient mariner
ancient mariner Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) oops forgot the front view. Edited October 19, 2011 by ancient mariner
ancient mariner Posted October 19, 2011 Author Posted October 19, 2011 AFAIK, its the only one. Just splitting hairs
dahut Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Just splitting hairs How about that! I didnt know of this one. When I had the Trumpy kit (now sold), I looked around the internet for information on the F-107. I dont recall seeing any other kits; the Aurora was unknown to me. It must be a pretty desirable collectible, these days. Thanks, AM!
