Reini78 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 is noseweight needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRANCISCO Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi Reini78, I have built two of them so far and used 15g of nose weight distributed under the cockpit floor and in the nose bay using Liquid Gravity fine "lead" shot mixed into a paste with white glue.. But it meant the loss of the beautifully detailed nose interior. Hope that this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 another thing has popped up solutions for the non fitting too small part in the rear cockpit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think I would build up the outer edges of the part with thick plastic strip and gently sand back until a snug fit was achieved. I am surprised that no one has mentioned this problem before. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Isn't that going to impact the canopy fit somewhere down the line? Could the rear bulkhead be too far forward, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) found a solution on Modellboard.de, using modelling clay to fill the fuselage and sit the part on top my dad just tried it out on the model and it seems to work http://www.modellboard.net/index.php?topic=52111.15 Edited June 27, 2015 by Reini78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumble01 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I got around it by attaching it to the rear canopy section 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm just glad I have the AMK kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 I got around it by attaching it to the rear canopy section that´s the way to do it.....a fellow modeller helped and said the kit instructions are crap and how this building step is supposed to work already realized that parts are numbered wrongly in the plan etc.... so, here now for all.............the part has to be glued into the rear canopy and then both together onto the fuselage @Mike is it released yet? do you know someone who has already built the AMK kit? thinking of buying that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 the paints are from Oesling Modellbau, a German product you can buy them on their website http://www.oesling-modellbau.com/webshop/Farbe-Lack/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 @Mike is it released yet? do you know someone who has already built the AMK kit? thinking of buying that too We reviewed it here a few months ago Link. not sure whether it's out in Germany yet, and I don't get out to model shops much, but IIRC it should be out by now. Hannants don't have it, but the likes of Lucky Model have one left in stock here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the AMK kit and it looks great in the box. I also have 2 kinetic boxings so your information here is good for me. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thanks for the heads up on the problem and the solutions, it's always good to be forewarned about these things, it can save endless aggravation. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
