I wound up adding a brass spar as well as brass pins for the main float. I remember sanding the living heck out of the interior to make it all fit. Need to dig it out and photograph it maybe touch up the paints as well. I did it with rattle cans before i got my airbrushes. Yeah I can imagine how fragile they’ll be even with the tougher resin from cutting edge. 19 hours ago, AdrianMF said: The detail looks lovely and the colour looks bang on. When a cockpit set gets that big though you wonder why they don’t just do a replacement fuselage. Regards, Adrian Considering how much effort is required. I mean why not just do a whole new kit right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Great update! The work on the interior looks excellent! Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beazer Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Closed up the fuselage and I think I should have thinned out the sidewalls more. Easier at this point to shim and fill I think. Sooooooo finicky and time consuming, really want to move along with this build but the mojo is fading. At least I can see some light on the horizon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Great progress! I too am usually dispirited by this phase of seam filling, filing and sanding. But it's also when we see what resembles the final shape of the model. Looking forward to the next update. Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beazer Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Was able to get some work done addressing the seams but just doubt I’ll be able to finish. Have had a tough time getting to the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 This looks great so far, all that cockpit detail looks lovely. Good to see the fuselage together. Hope you get a chance to do some work on this as it will be great to see this progress. I hope your Mojo is okay too. Keep up the good work All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hope to see it finished in WIP if not here. That cockpit looks great. I know what you mean about getting to the bench. Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
