Col. Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Seperate control surfaces, that's a nice touch, unless they prove ill-fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Here's the canopy later - it's not great. Currently soaking in a pot of Klear. Edited February 11, 2018 by theplasticsurgeon More info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ouch! Be useful for modelling your Hurricane on a frosty morning but not for much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm sure you can find a vac. Then you can have the hood open to show off the interior that you'll no doubt be forced to create from scratch. I looked back at the jumble-o'-parts pic, and I sure don't see much in the way of interior. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Another 'will watch with interest' old school Frog build. This was my first ever Frog kit and I recall loving the original two colour paint plans on the flip side of the box. The No. 1 Squadron JX coded Intruder version was always my pick! Cheers,, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 A bit of progress, seat and choice of two pilots. Assembly of the fuselage and wings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Airframe assembled, pilot inserted. Cockpit dryfit confirms its opaque - I'm going to grey it over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Can just see the pilot in there. He must have got some cloud trapped inside the cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no bulkhead or anything else in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
