Very small little update. More on the drilling
of rivets. Here’s how the arms looks like tucked underneath in
plane mode.
Next, I re-scribed some of the panels. This step is not exactly
necessary, but I prefer doing it anyways. I’ve mentioned before
in my other WIPs, that I prefer to ink the panel lines before painting.
And the technical pen ink I’m using is water based, and thus doesn’t
stick on the plastic surface very well. Re-scribing the lines and
making the grooves deeper helps the ink remain in the lines when
I rub off the excess. The section on the left has been re-scribed.
Both sections were inked, and rubbed off. The re-scribed section
shows much better.
Start drilling…
Completed panel, and test fit…
Here’s how it would look like in gerwalk mode. Long way to go…

Another small update on the VF-25F. More re-scribing done on
the kit.
Also did some re-scribing on the leg section and added in some
rivets.
I skipped the center section of the plane and started working on
the nose instead
Here’s how the entire thing looks right now. And I haven’t even
started on the bottom! Really long way to go…….
