Nice. Those trim tab details are just bizarre.

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Wayne!

 

[fubar57]

Yes... bizarre

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice. Those trim tab details are just bizarre.

absolutely, didn't need to make it that awkward.....

first 3 pics show the addition of some more stretched sprue between the forward wing join and lower cowl, the intake was not fixed at that point to make it a little easier to fit and sand and rescribe the panel line.
last 2 pics the 2 lower panels added

Master craftsman at work.

I can see why this model spent a bit of time on the naughty shelf but it's coming along great.

 

[Wayne Little]

Definitely not a perfect kit, but its an easy fix when you work through it... as I get the first ready for some paint, the second gets moving, the cockpit and tail wheel section for the wheel added , not shown in the first build....
Also added some of the Hasegawa IP decals over the Revell too....

Working in this scale gives scope for so much detail. Nicely done Wayne.

 

[fubar57]

Lovely innards

 

[Crimea_River]

Agreed. I'm sure the outards will be nice too.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys.....more....on Number #2

exhaust tapped and fitted, lower intake assembly attached to the starboard side...

Looks great so far Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks for looking in .
Cockpit now installed and fuselage closed up. 5th image down shows some red where a fair bit of scraping and sanding occurred to reduce the interference fit of the upper cowl. Best thing is to remove most of it but I didn't want to weaken the fuselage structure, although a couple of bracing sections of plasticard or sprue would solve that as an alternative.
Cowl guns drilled, installed and upper cowl section in place too.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice Wayne, nice.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Vic.

 

[le_steph40]
