Just a couple of images showing progress so far. Fuse and wing glued together but fin is just pinned in place. Intakes and nozzles work in progress. Apologies for image quality will try to get some better ones as it progresses. Regards Paul.

Sweet looking Toon. Are your wings laminated as the grain appears to change directions?

Thank you Lou and Gordon, the wing was cut from a block of laminated pine board on which the strips are glued together with opposite grains to make them stronger, supposedly to stop them cupping on wide boards, as I was only cutting the thin wing without much chiseling it worked out OK. Regards Paul J.

I've always liked the toon models. I think it is harder to capture a character of something. How do you develope the plan for those models.

I get my inspiration from Paul and Pat at https://blackheartart.com/tag/aviation/

Thank you Lou,Fraser and Gordon. As Lou said I get ideas from Pat Cherry and other caricature sites, this one was from the Metal Slug Flyer models. I found 3 views of the model and sized the fuselage lenght to between 5 and 5 1/2 inches usually. Then cut out the profiles and stick them to card. With parts such as the intakes you have to decide on shapes and thickness as you go along. I have some more pics of u/c etc to do and post later. Best regards Paul J.

Thanks for the data.

Painting has progressed with cockpit, fin and nose done, and a coat of clear acrylic applied all over. Similar with undercarriage etc. U/C all made except wheels and tyres, from the spares box. Regards Paul J.
