Return to Index   RC-135S Cobra Ball - WIP - Part I November 22 2010 at 11:33 AM   (Login illomucca) HyperScale Forums from IP address 79.41.71.151 WARNING - Photobucket will reset the bandwidth tomorrow night so the pics will be visible again - sorry for the trouble . Here is the start of a new project of mine during the dead times of the A-50M final painting, so it progress will be slow. Thank to the generous and invaluable help of Mrrss. Michael Kelly and Jennings Heilig I can now start my conversion of the AMT RC-135V 1/72 scale into an RC-135S Cobra Ball, as it appeared in the late seventies/early eighties when operating from Northern AFBs . Here are some pics of the tracing for the main conversion work Looking at the pics I gathered, there is the need to detail the landing gear wells, also with the main doors closed as they are on the ground . Also the engines pilons will need the removal of their "humps", the rear side teardrops will be made from scratch. I made some bracing on the cabin floor, according to suggestion from fellow Hyperscalers, with 5 mm. square rods . That's all for now, any comment/suggestion very wellcome .

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
