Scratch 1/48th scale Topgun Darkstar

[centaur567]

I must be crazy. Ever since I saw that "aircraft", it was love at first sight. I figured that if it came out in 1/48th scale it would be unaffordable for me anyway. I've heard of people making models out of cardboard or card stock so I'm going to try it.The leading edge and fuselage were trimmed a little too much so when the glue dries it will be recut.
In the stash box there was a cockpit from a Su-27 kit that will be ok.

While looking for parts in my over flowing stash, low and behold there was a canopy and wind screen for my Spitfire Mk.II. YEA!! Gary S.

Now that's using the ol' noggin Gary. Good luck!

Glued upper and lower fuselage parts to corrected profile and set up side profiles.
I found unused F-15 landing gear last night that with a little modification will work. This whole project is one bid SWAG. I placed my F-15 model next to the initial cut out for a size comparison. Gary S.
