That aluminium cab floor looks great.
Is it bare metal foil ?

The floor is made of aluminium tape, that I got in a DIY store. I cut out panels, and made rivets with a propelling pencil with no lead in it. The pen was pressed on the tape and the rivets appeared. Simple and efficient !

Regards,

Richard

Good one! And cheaper method also,compared to bare metal foil.

That scratch-built machinegun looks Great with big G. Do you add rockets, missiles etc?

Ps, More photos! :P

Well I still hesitate…

I really appreciate the version of the Caracal sporting a 20mm gun pod and a rocket pod but these have not yet been bought by the air force nor by the army. It only has them in meeting for demo purposes, such as the one on these pictures. Don't know yet ;-D

Anyway my model will have the refuelling probe, that's for sure.

Hello,

Here's a very short update just to tell you that the second MG is done.




Still some little stuff to be done in the pasengers cab before I can cement the fuselage halves together.
