Academy RQ-7B UAV

This thing should probably only count as half an entry, but maybe I can get it finished on time! ;D I've got a couple more once I wrap this one up.

It really just has about 12 parts. I won't be doing the figures, just the aircraft. More to follow!

I never seen one of these models before should be fun to watch

This liltte kit should build up nice!

Cool....been looking at this kit for a while. Looking forward to the build!

Looking forward to it!

Making some progress here. I've got the fuselage and tail booms together and a little painting done on the various components for the engine.

So far so good. Just a little filler and sanding needed in a few spots.

Looks to be quite a quick build, keep up the good work

 

[Junkie]

Yup, looks like a perfect little project.

I'm making some progress on this little guy. Assembly is pretty much done except the nose gear and pitot tube. I've filled seams along the leading edge of the wings and rescribed prominent panel lines on the fuselage. Just a little more cleanup and it's time for paint!

 

[Grendels]

Looks good!

 

[Deere_driver]

Thanks G. I primed the other night and found several areas needing more work. Now I'm refilling some of the gaps on the wings. Hopefully on to paint this weekend.

Is this the kit that comes with the figures? Will you be doing those as well?

 

[Junkie]

Nicely done.

 

[Deere_driver]

It does come with the figures. I'm not planning on doing them for the contest. The decals for their camo look like they could be a bear to get right, and I'm not good at figure painting.

I've had about a 10 day interruption while we painted, carpeted, and added new furniture to the office/hobby room. Hopefully I'll make some progress in the next couple of days as we just about have the renovation wrapped up.
