IPMS19 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 - Too many shape mistake in this what could have been a modern F 80 kit. I wonder what the conceptors of this kit had in their eyes to produce such visible errors? let only in the air intakes shape. - So I ve tried to correct these in my own fashion. Matting some T 33 Hobbycraft parts to the ugly Hobbyboss thing..... -The nose with new gun ports.. - The T bird central fuselage - Hobbyboss wing with adaptation to the center section fuselage - The new intakes from Tbird and the top fuselage - Some works required .......And this is the Frankenstein creature... - The Misawa tanks were obtained by removing 3cm Of the kit long tanks..The others are too fat to be used....another mistake Mr Hobbyboss 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Great kit bashing. But about the same amount of work as rescribing the Monogram kit - which I did on my last holiday (rescribed it and put back into the box for the future...). Really sad Hobby Boss messed this one up too. Rene 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolwe82 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Nicely done. Shame about the kit, it seems i have to wait again for some nice P-80.. It´s one of my favourite post ww2 aircrafts. Anyway, you did great job on the kit bashing Have you used some aluminium stripes on the nose (around the black cover)? It is so shiny there, looking cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin-42 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think that's the first time I have seen Hobbycraft used to correct another kit. Score one for the much maligned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
