That should polish out....

Nice work so far!

Maybe i'm a clutz but figuring out this ammo bay. So I ordered the Aires P-47 Gunbay for the Tamiya kit and a set of ammo belts.
I guess we'll see how it goes as I may have to pull the wing (which I'm sure will not want to be done) to do the upgrade.

Neat set of parts.
I'm guessing you will have to open up the wing halves to fit it.

 

[Crimea_River]

I should think so. Probably have to thin the plastic too.

 

[Donivanp]

That's my guess also but I'll wait until it gets here to do anything else to it. Coming from England.

I received the ammo belts today, the lower wing came off pretty easy, the Upper wasn't moving from its grip on the fuselage.
I like the Ammo belts but they are a bit short. Good news is there are eight in a set so they can be made long enough.

Looking forward to the resin

It's coming from Model Hobbies in England so it'll probably be a couple of weeks. I've ordered from all over the world and England seems to take a bit longer than most to get my order.

 

[Airframes]

Yep, the pigeon has to battle against a headwind all the way !

 

[Crimea_River]

They should switch to African Swallows.
