Gary C Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 That box lid brings back some memories!! Nice job on the resin, getting them fitted will get easier with practice, investing in a dremel type bit of kit really takes out the tedium of sanding. Keep it up!

Probably better than the one i used in my current F-4D Cheers, Neil Neil, Part of my back story fits nicely with 31 Sqn's history & their Phantoms & Im looking forwards to showing the model with the story The Airies cockpit is as you well know a real pig to fit, I had to place a piece of plastic behind the rear bulkhead & use a drop of filler, had to cut a huge chunk out of the top of the front of the fuselage to get the Pilots IP to fit, plus they molded the kit cockpit to the nose gear bay so that was a hacksaw & sanding stick job and its now a very tight fit. I was begining to wonder if Id actually get it to fit. With the number of times Ive read your book cover to cover, you'd have thought Id have learned that using an Airies cockpit was a bad move Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
