zegeye Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Hello, my entry is an old Italeri model which isn't new. This is dismantled and cleaned piece, which I saved from my friend's trash. I have some aftermarkets for it. The main aftermarkets (I'm waiting for them, but they will come) are resine engines and cowlings from qickboost. If I succeed it will be this little gem: Edited April 5, 2018 by zegeye 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zegeye Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Thanks to all. I have nothing to show for now. I'am rescribing the reised panel lines.... it is a wearisome process.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Are you going to do anything with the interior? I'm trying to hide it with figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zegeye Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 I will use some brassin from Eduard, but not all. Only those wisible thru the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zegeye Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 To break a monotony of panel lines rescribing, I put my interest to Quickboost engine cowlings. That won't be easy task, becouse resine part are made for Hasegawa kit. They are wieder diameter than Italeri ones. I have to cut Italeri part and will have to fill the gaps.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zegeye Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 I've done some interior work. It is not finished. I fill only the elements I hope will be visible through the windows. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zegeye Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) OK. This is what I've build to the interior. Now I have to paint it and close the halfs. Edited June 14, 2018 by zegeye 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That's outstanding! It's exactly what I'd have liked to do with my own kit, but I wouldn't have the first idea how to start going about it.....My hat's off to you. PS - What is the little ring with framing inside it in the starboard rear fuselage for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Hello @Sgt.Squarehead its an emergency hatch if they belly the plane in, or crash at sea. Normal entrance was through the hatches in the floor. The forward crew had upper hatches both in the cockpit and nose glasing.
