    The Italeri is on the way. Yes, the shape is good, hence the fundamental aspect. Lots of room for improvement. I might try to re-scribe the cooling flaps on the cowling to give them a bit more character.

    Thanks Col! Thanks MM. This is a good fundamental kit and begs for some additional parts. This is what i did last night... Then into the fuselage half it went... And a very easy job closing it up! No problems there. Next up...the wings! -John

    Perfect! A devastating Italian beauty!

    This morning before I went to work I did this... And this... And primed all of these... So that when I came back from work an hour ago, I was able to do this... And I started in on the wheel wells too...just copying stuff I have seen others do! I'll get out the airbrush later and do the zinc chromate for the interior/cockpit, etc...The wheel wells will be the same colour as the underside so that is later. --John

    Thank you Patrice.

    That's an excellent story. Thanks for the information. I like the spiced Corsair. That would be a good build sometime...

    That's very helpful--thank you Dennis. So these are open holes or exhaust pipes of some kind? I'll be sure to add some smoke weathering there... Thank you Steve. I have read about this with this kit. I think the design is there to "facilitate" folding them up. I won't be doing that on this aircraft. Yes...I agree. I might be able to leave it open if it looks alright.

    Great photo. Looks like a black nose, 4-colour lozenge on the fuselage. Albatros built?
  9. John Masters
    I think what I might try to do is tone down the brightness of the blue with some kind of wash. It'll have to go on after the decal is in place, etc...
  10. John Masters
    Thanks Dennis and Cookie. It was a fun build.

    I couldn't leave well enough alone... Updated cockpit. It'll look better once it is all painted up. From what I have seen and read, the late war interiors was Zinc Chromate Green and the consoles/instrument panel was anti-reflective black. The PE harness is leftover from the Eduard Spitfire. I drilled the lightening holes in the bulkhead too. New stick, pedals...Hmmm... Now...how about these? What can I do to fix this? What are the three round things? Are they lights? I guess I should look at the wheels wells too and see what can be done about them... --John
  12. John Masters
    Thanks MM. I hope to make the cockpit look a little better too.
  13. John Masters
    OK...some parts assembled. I guess OOB is Out of the Question on this one. The Twin-Wasp, for example, is barely recognizable. And there is little cockpit interior personality either. Here are some progress pics... Something had to be done. So I did all of this, but just on the front Wasp. It will be the only visible part. The 'cockpit'. This will get a makeover too. More research needed. I started the wings. the cooling vents needed a bit of thinning to fit into their slots. The outer wing halves were not a problem. And I leave it there for the night. --John

    Check out the cowing on image PR6755 in that link. Multi-coloured, or made up of parts would be my guess.
  15. John Masters
    Not to worry. By the time I am finished it will be a semi matte/satin finish. Me too...3 or 4 colours?
