tomthounaojam Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 WOW, that is massive and uber awesome brings back memories when I first saw the P-8 in 2013, what sight it was and what sight now. I have seen both aircraft Indian and USN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_w Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thats a good looking kit & an impressive size as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That is impressive though not my sphere of interest. Just as an aside, DrawDecals have just released decals for the P-8 in three scales 1/200, 1/144 AND 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vingtor Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) One question about the Welsh Models resin parts. There are two parts that seem to represent the engine generator bulges. However the bulges are also molded into the engine parts. Are these items for something else? If so, what?

hsr Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I did not get those parts. I did get a large radar blister that looked like an AP-20, so it looks like they occasionally include some spurious parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nils Nils, the kit has been retooled. The original issue had engines without bulges, the spares you have are meant for the earlier kit. The extra bulges are undersized as you can see so that is why they retooled the engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a mail to Welsh Models as well, and got the same answer. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Fantastic build! I would love to build a civilian 737-800 in that scale! I feel your pain regarding the cockpit glazing falling inwards. It has recently happened to me on a DC-3 (Italeri) that I am building. I haven't figured out what to do about it yet. Anyways, your Poseidon is simply brilliant, in spite of your troubles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't because I figured it would only be translucent at best and I thought the decal might be better, but the decal is a bit of a disappointment so I wish I had gone with the Krystal Klear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsr Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Just as a follow up. As I had predicted in the first post the resin main gear did eventually collapse I contacted the people at Welsh Models and they kindly sent me a new set. Unfortunately they sent it to Croydon in the UK rather then Croydon, PA in the US where I live (those early colonists had no imagination when it came to naming their new towns) and it disappeared. So I made a new set using brass rod, styrene and bits from the original 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
