1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Red III - 10-04-2013
Hey guy's, I thought I'd post some progress pictures of my latest project. The Ralph McCuarrie concept A-Wing is a rather simple kit so it shouldn't take too long to complete. Here is the cockpit tub with pilot with a single LED for lighting.

Wow that´s some pretty nice work!

Very Nice, looking forward to this one ! Love the concept models, cheers,
Joe

Off to a great start there! That pilot and cockpit are looking very good.

Here are the top and bottom fuselage halves. Very well cast although there are some strange bumps on the undersides that will need to be filed away since they interfere with the fit. There is also some slight warping of the parts but a soak in some hot tap water should take care of that . I'll also have to come up with some simple armature for mounting and running wires.[attachment=14783][attachment=14784][attachment=14785]

I would say those bumps are just fill points in the mold maybe.

Nice. This is a TITAN kit right?
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Red III - 10-07-2013
Yes, It's A Titan Kit.

A little more progress. I found these really inexpensive LED flashlights and used the LED cluster for the engines. They fit right into the engine nacelles. I'l be making diffusers for each engine to make them look a little more interesting. [attachment=14829][attachment=14830][attachment=14831]
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Stefan Hacker - 10-16-2013
Very nice!! More! More! More!
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Wombat - 10-17-2013
They look like they'll do the job very well.

very good idea with the engine lights!

cool! now im thinking I should start building mine
nice job so far
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Red III - 11-05-2013
Finished all the major painting, now I'll go back and fix all the overspray and bleeds. I use a high tack frisket for most of the masking, it works really well for me. Next I'll paint the little details, give it a gloss clear coat, put the decals on and then give it its final flat coat and weathering. I'll try to get the masking off the canopy after that......[attachment=15154][attachment=15155][attachment=15156]
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Wombat - 11-05-2013
Looking good there and the really fun bit is about to start.
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Stefan Hacker - 11-05-2013
Very very nice! Hey what´s that in the back? Looks like an Mustang Spinner.
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Red III - 11-05-2013
Hey Stefan, your right! I build RC airplanes too. That the spinner off a 1/7 scale Mustang.

RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Stefan Hacker - 11-07-2013
Ah! Also very nice Mustang. My favorite is the "Grim Reaper" but there are so many nice Mustangs out there.

Did you find a gap when you put the two halves together
On the side of the ship
I think it was the right hand front side about level with the guns??
I couldn't work out if it was ment to be there or required filling and sanding
I think the guy on you tube did about a 13part build and he had the same problem
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Red III - 11-08-2013
There is suppose to be an "intake vent" along the leading edge on either side. I did have to clean that up quite a bit so it would look right , the casting wasn't too clear in those spots.
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Red III - 11-22-2013
Finished. Just a few more things here and there but that's just about it.

RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Stefan Hacker - 11-22-2013
Man! Fantastic work! Now i want one too!
I even like your table and your chairs. 
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - Red III - 11-22-2013
Thanks Stefan, I got this kit through Starship Modeler, I'll have to check and see if it's still available.
RE: 1/24 Studio Scale Scale Ralph McQuarrie A-Wing - JAWS - 11-23-2013
Very nice.
Great paint work.
