Brad Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I don't usually share work I do for others but I'm kinda proud of this one. I had to beat the RS kit into submission with a good amount of elbow grease and super glue. Decals were very nice though. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That is a very nice looking job there Brad. What issues did you have with it, I'm a bit keen to know having one in stock? Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What issues did you have with it, I'm a bit keen to know having one in stock? Steve. Thanks guys. I found that the radiator interior parts were a poor fit, it required some plastic plugging and sanding forward of the tail wheel. The separate dog house parts needed some filling and sanding. The canopy seems too narrow and I had to take plastic off the sides of the dash to get it to fit. I took some plastic off the top of the wheel wells to get the upper wing to fit properly. There's not much of a locating hole for the under carriage leg so I just drilled a hole clean through the wheel wells and the top of the wing to secure the leg, thankfully it gives you enough of a pin on the gear leg to do this. Resin tail wheel and main gear parts are useless, it's almost impossible to get them off the casting block without them breaking, thus I scratch built a small bulkhead to fit the tail wheel into. Be careful cleaning up the matng surface of the canopy to the fuselage as well, it's got a lot of flash and it would be easy to sand off too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks Brad, sounds like short run kit construction at its best, or not. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I bought one of these on the weekend so I can do a NACA example. Interesting to hear what the problem areas are. Yours turned out really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Humbrol's aerosol polished aluminium over a grey primer and not really happy with the finish, find it hard work to get any shine...must be doing something wrong. I may have to put 27002 through my one and only airbrush but I'm never happy about putting metallic's through for fear of cross contamination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Lovely. Really like the H model, and you've made a great job of a kit that isn't straightforward. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Very nicely done. Did wonder if it was a tough kit to build and wouldn't have had your patience or should that be determination to see it through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Wonderful build of the more rarely seen 'H', well done indeed, and thanks for the info on how the RS kit builds up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
