stevemk1 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi I'm a little late with starting this, but I hope my choice of build will be welcome. I'll be using the fairly new Revell 1/48th Gr 4, together with Eduard photoetch interior and belts, and Xtradecal decals. Initial photos to follow soon.

stevemk1 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Have made a little progress this week, so here's the first photos In the box: A selection of aftermarket - masks, pitot, control panels, seatbelts, and wing gloves: It felt mean sanding off all of the detail from the Revell cockpit, but the metal parts look far better than I could paint Seats are starting to take shape now: Hopefully a bit more will get done this evening, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get all of the straps onto the seats without losing any!

stevemk1 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 After a lot of small parts pinging out of tweezers, I'm fairly happy with how the seats look. I decided to leave off a couple of the smallest parts as sometimes it's good to know when to stop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice progress and the PE parts do make a difference Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Nice! Any updates meanwhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemk1 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Have made some more progress, fuselage is all together. Had a bit of a break for time at RIAT and a summer holiday. The air intakes are driving me mad, I've had a go with the filler, but still some unsightly gaps around those areas which need sorting before painting.
