IPMS19 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) - As a follow on of this work in progress topic, I had to work on the nose compartment and gunner station. -As Norman says till now it is just a modelling affair. In fact the fitting of the different parts is so good that it is. built just like a classic kit, the main difference being the cement required. - The troubles may comes when the time of the assembling of the two fuselage halves, or the matting of the wings to fuselage or the clear parts arrives - A place I woudln't have like to seat in - I just regret the lack of documentationon the crew stations in regard of the ammount of tubing and wires every where as it was the rule on the machines of these days even if the great amount of green coaming on the walls limit their visible numbers -Openning tht navigator and gunner hatches are trouble free but some care has to be taken as the resin may break easily owing to it very fine thickness Edited March 30, 2013 by IPMS19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcococca Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 A very impressive model! Remember me to some Buck Danny adventures! I like the design somewhere between a Me 262 and a WWII bomber aircraft! I will follow your thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 -The third part of the inside before joining the fuselage halves is the bomb bay. The parts are numerous which means a very well detailed area, the wiring and plumbing job excepted and as I want to show the bomb bay doors opened I cannot live with an almost naked bomb bay.HPH gives a ful bomb load to hide this but I 'll used them in a last ditch. I 've found some drawing and a few fragmentary photos but not enough to have a good idea of the thing which were,and on the available books most of the photos show external parts of the beast so I will be very grateful if some one knowing more on this would share his knowledge with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopkp Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Lovely job, considering buying this kit myself, also being tempted by the 1/32 Walrus! Just wondering if there's a 'canopy open' option for the pilot's cockpit, or would you have to cut up the closed one?

Just wondering if there's a 'canopy open' option for the pilot's cockpit, or would you have to cut up the closed one? - There is no open option for the pilot canopy so we have to enter a small surgeonnery.To cater for an eventual problem I've asked HPH to send me another canopy ,they sent me a whole clear parts set.

IPMS19 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) - To continue, it is time to join the fuselage halves before a last glimpse at the cockpit and the forward wheel well and its weight - Before centing the halvves I used some tape as a protectiv measure against finger cement prints - TH putty used is a mixture of cyano cement and resin powder for the homogeneity of materials before painting - Here the kit show it resin nature.The fitting of the fuselage halves requires some triming of the inside parts to achieve a correct fit, that is not surprising owing the the extent of details inclued in the fuselage Edited April 6, 2013 by IPMS19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPMS19 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Awesome. Not brave enough to try resin myself. - Many people have the same way of thinking about resin kit as you.In fact most modeller triggered by the temptation have already used after market transkit , or only resin pieces.So they are more or less used to this material - Building a resin kit is like building a round of the mill plastic kit, removing resin flashes if ever, trimming, sanding, drilling; Removing the parts from sprue is easy, I use a Dremel with a circular saw and with a sanding ring then the good old wet sanding paper,For the clear part a dremel or for those a bit hamfisted nail scissors ( watch yoiur wife) before painting don't forget to wash the parts to remove the moulding grease.Then a base coat of neutral colored paint.and it accept every kind of paint - The main difference is the mandatory use cyano cement with the care surroundind its use .Wearing a dust mask avoid breathing resin powder and it 's all -Not all resin kits are of the quality of these new HPH kits but appliyng these few rules allow you to have kit you often dream of waiting after the good will of Tamigawa San .Building a resin kit is very enjoyable and rewarding. Resin kit are often expensive, just avoid buying one or two classic kit that every body shows on exhibits table and you show a model nobody or few people can boast of.

Kasatka Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Great build! I bought the same model and am going to build it for sure as my grand dad was flying it and crashed on a Beagle in 1955 I would suggest to you to look at this thread here. It is in Russian but there are plenty of reference materials http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_20388.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 John W nice seats, but it is impossible to build a Beagle from the Trumpeter kit, unless you dont care I got it for £6 Seems to be more filler than plastic at the moment.
