CamberrySauce Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi all, I recently picked up this kit and thought I'd share my progress on BM Obligatory sprue shot Before I begin is there are faults or problems in this kit that should know about before I start? -Cam 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard Quick update today Assembled all the cockpit sub assembles and prepped them for some interior green. For anyone planning to build this should be weary of one of the cockpit sub assemblies which I had trouble lining up the two support frames due to the lack of joining surface area That's all for today - Cam 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Be careful when you put the tailplane on as the supporting struts are too short. I eventually used cyano to fix the interior frames as the bond with plastic cement wasn't sufficient 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldone Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 it's looking good. I do like the Tamiya paint and it does seem to spray well.. Looking forward to seeing more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamberrySauce Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi all, Progress was a bit slow for the past few days but I got few things done. First of all I painted some of the detail, I'm not sure if any of this is correct but it adds some interest. Added a brown filter in the cockpit and wheel wells I then attempted to add some seat belts from tamiya tape, these are probably far from correct but they fill the empty seats Next up: Trying to put the fuselage together -Cam 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamberrySauce Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hey guys, Got another update today, I got the fuselage together with some difficultly and unfortunately it left a few gaps will have to be filled later Next up was the wings which was even worse -Cam 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Doesn't look too bad, really, and that interior is some great work on your part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wot the Hedgehog said, a lovely insides. It seems that a bit of checking the interior fit is a good plan for when I get to mine. I'm watching this for any hints & tips I can glean. Steve, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
