GTW4633 - Those two will make a nice tandem. What kit did you use for the 8804? How are you kitbashing it?

He's starting with an Atlas GP40, plating over the radiators and one of the fans. I'm not sure what he's using for the dynamic brake hatch, Atlas offers the type 8804 has as a spare part, but Jay was talking about making his own.

That's the more realistic way of doing it...please post a picture when you're done, Jay.

This is how far I've gotten with 8804.

So far, I've plated over the First Fan, and a section of the radiator.
I painted the Non Dynamic hatch just so I can run it for now. I also put some plows on it however they aren't right so I need to take them off. Also the Atlas Pilot is too high so I need to lower it. I Have Cannon Fans, a P5, and Speed recorders on order.

Very nice work Jay.
