Mr B Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 cheers alpha delta here it is got some work done on the cockpit area......just a few more details to be added and painted and it can be flat and complete moving to the panel.....the one of the left is the actual panel to be used.....but the one on the right looks much better.....I think it was for the bubble top......I might just use that....as the original panel asked to be used is a total let down..... overall details are a bit soft but I think not too bad......and will start on the harness too.....positive it goes together fairly fast best regards brian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hello folks Thanks for the nice words......completed the cockpit ...for now I have decided to use the kit panel.....might decide to buy after market as I saw there is a PE panel for it Just need a flat coat and it's done...... Moved onto the engine parts The firewall is base painted to try how my yellow zinc chromate .....via Vallejo......looks ok.....still loads to do ..... As earlier mentioned it goes together fairly quickly.....after the engine is already putting the sides together Happy Modeling Rgds Brian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Cheers Blitz Yes I would agree with that statement............huge Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hello Folks The air box is more or less done.....rear section....looking at the engine as I was told that there is some errors if attempted from the box Will try and work out the radial lump and get all stuff ready by the coming week...... Best Regards 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Good work so far. I think I'll tune into this one. The Instrument Panel doesn't look bad. Once installed in the fuselage I'd say you won't see a lot of difference to an etched one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 thanks mate....but the airscale one still looks better ......something about good looking panels does it for me..... managed some work.....on the rear then back to the front and painted the engine with a black undercoat and some various othe bits.....I hope if possible to complete the engine by end of this week....but it all depends actually.... happy modeling and thanks for dropping in..... rgds Brian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 I think I hit a big time snag.....fitting the engine is a nightmare......a lot of short cuts and things omitted here and there.......after all I am not going to display it open.....some of my paint also chipped off......anyone building this kit, pls take time especially if you want to display the internals I hope I will have less problems with putting the cowlings on.....so far a test fit shows some issues but I have not glued pieces yet..... Anyways this is how it looks Hope to paint the cowling internals soon n try and close the engine up..... Have fun with plastic guys Rgds B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have closed the side...as expected the cowling n engine fought me all ways....still clean up needed n will go to the next phase the wings next thanks again to peter....n happy modeling to all rgds Brian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
