Hello,

Hi Steph,
Are you sure about the interior green inside in the wheels wells?
We talk about it on Master here is the link:

Tempest Mk.V Special Hobby 1/32 - Master194.com

Bonne journée !!!

Hello Pascal,
As you mentionned, not sure on the wheel wells colour; I lightened the dry-brushing to try to get closer to this kind of light grey/green

Looks good. I wasn't expecting the silver framing but you are probably correct.

it seems that there are several versions: alu, black, RAF interior green...
I don't know if i'm probably correct...Here my wife tells me that I'm not always right... But I think she's often/always wrong...!!!
Oops, honey, you were there ... Ouch, not on the head...

Anyway, cockpit is done.

Yes Andy, to calm her down, I told her that she was always right... But, I'm the only one here who knows that it's false!!!
I'll take advantage of it while she's not here...

Nicely done so far!

 

[Wayne Little]

Looking good Steph.

Hello,

Work for the second (and last I hope) hard part of this project


I hollowed out the resin tail to remove some weight. there's going to be some putty!


I glued a wedge for the propeller in order that could turn


Ready for transplant

Nice alterations Steph.

 

[Crimea_River]

Serious work. What was wrong with the kit tail?

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff, curious like Andy about the tail....

 

[Airframes]

Me too.

Hello,

Here are the problems fixed by the AlleyCat resin set, in German language: AlleyCat AC48001c-IPMS_Deutschland
It also corrects the cutting of horizontal stabilizer but the resin kit needs to be modified at the tail: horizontal stabilizer/rudder connection.

I didn't glue the resin tail, before, I work on the problem horizontal stabilizer/rudder connection and to reduce the thickness of the Eduard rudder because there is no reliefs on the AlleyCat's one. Pics soon

 

[Airframes]

Thanks for the explanation Steph.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

Good stuff Steph. Like the others, I wasn't aware of the kit problem. One to stay away from I guess

Hello,

While waiting to finish working on the tail, I glued the wings adding some details


I only added the main rivets
