martin_sam_2000 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Looks like this will be a great model. I love these larger scale plans..but I find it ahrd to display the 1/-48th stuff I ahve...so there is no way i can build any. Can;t wait to see some in-progress pics!!!

Azgaron Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Thanks guys! So it seems I can have either, maybe that's why the instructions didn't have any notes on which version. Then I think I'll go for the tube thing just to be different! Dean, great pics, thanks! None so far, but I'll have a thorough check in the weekend! Sean, pics are coming aas soon as I got all the details and stuff painted, hopefully this weekend! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Gibson Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Here's the kit I intend to do for this GB! Cheers, Azgaron Hi Azgaron, Don't forget to drop the elevators. Important on spits. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Dave, thanks for the tip! I won't! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanflyer Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Don't forget to drop the elevators. Important on spits. And if you do, don't forget to position the joystick pushed forward to correspond with them - if you look in my cockpit you'll see what I mean. It's the little things that make the difference...

Azgaron Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Thanks Dean! I'll better do that too! Btw I'm planning of having the pilot present, depending of he turns out! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Little by little, I'm getting things done! I did some wash and dry brushing, or at least I've tried to! Needs some more practice perhaps! Next I'll go on with the seat and frame sections, and build up the rest of the cockpit! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Nice choice mate. I think I'll have to get one of these next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks Murdo! Yes it's a pretty nice kit! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 A little bit more! Now it's just the seat and some minor weathering left, and the pilot of course! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to fill those cut-outs either side as shown in the pic attached. This kit was mastered to be built with a closed canopy, hence those cut-outs. Two more points; no crow-bar as they weren't fitted until later and don't fit the door too close to the fuselage side - check some pics and you'll see the door doesn't fit flat.

Azgaron Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Dave, thanks for the tip! I actually never thought of if I should have the door open or not! I've heard this about the crowbar before. Is it the thing/rod/handle that go on the inside of the door that's supposed to be omitted (part A8)? Thanks Stebos! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Azgaron Hi Azgaron, It's the diagonal metal rod which is usually (and incorrectly) painted red. Regards, dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks Dave! So it's the rod moulded to the door I need to remove! That looks like some extra work ahead, sanding and filing! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Azgaron Dead easy, Carefully cut it into small pieces with a curved blade and then scrape out the residue with the same curved blade. 5 minute job. Regards, Dave.

Azgaron Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Great tip Dave, thanks! Now I only need to get a knife with a curved blade! Or maybe just the blade if I can find the handle! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanflyer Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Todays stupid question:What is the lever (handbrake lookalike) to the left of the seat? Cheers, Azgaron That's the radiator flap lever... Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks Dean! The reason I asked, is that the question was brought up on another forum! Cheers, Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Progress ain't going fast, but I've done some more on the cockpit! Need to do some minor touch ups! Now I'll fix the position on the pilots arms and start painting him! Azgaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
