AnonymousA667 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Still a couple more builds to try and squeeze in, so I thought I'd get this one rolling. The kit has a gaping orifice posing as a cockpit so I thought I'd try and fill it up a bit. Kit floor with some card bulkheads/shelves: I'll try and sort the seats and radio gear later. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Bit more done: Basic kit seats snipped about and with card/scrap additions. Radio stuff was an old Airfix part, probably nothing like the real thing but it is there to fill the space and few would know the difference looking through the canopy. I spent some time thinning the nose glazing and cockpit aperture edges, otherwise they look completely naff through the glazing. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousA667 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 This one going to Telford too? Assuming completion, yes, that's why its posted in this GB section. It should get finished, there's not a lot to these Matchbox kits once the 'pit is sorted, although there is a lot more you could do. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousA667 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 The major components are all prepped and ready to assemble: Glazings have had frame lines removed, then re-polish and Klear coated. I'm going to cement the wings on, jig it all up and call it a night. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
