Re: 1/72 Testors XR-7 Thunder Dart
I'm pulling all the "in progress" builds out to see where I am so that I can get some of these done and out of the way. This one has a lot of sanding on the nose and all along the sides to be done.

Re: 1/72 Testors XR-7 Thunder Dart
Thanks Stuart! Trying to decide whether to actually add the top engines or leave them off.

Re: 1/72 Testors XR-7 Thunder Dart
That is a sharp (pun intended) build. Go for the top mount engines!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: 1/72 Testors XR-7 Thunder Dart
Thanks! Decided to leave the top engines off. It look more "Stealth" that way.
