Hewy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Great job so far,the engine looks ace, i agree with troy much easier to scribe down the panel line and flex the plastic to break the join, and in future builds you can re-use the removed flaps/slats at deflected angles with minimum work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboVoice Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Many thanks boys! To be honest, this is my first kit with modifications. I did the gun bays with razor saw, wanted to do something differently on flaps Yes, indeed, manual drilling was very time consuming. There will be more to cut on this model so for sure will use your advises! I also believe that I should buy mini drill, saw for about £8 on ebay, plenty of them Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I have the Tempest so very interested in your build, which is progressing very nicely. Although I'm intending to do an OOB build, I do fancy that engine! A modelling masterpiece in it's own right, and you've made a lovely job of it.

cynicaljohnny Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 How's this build going? Have you fitted the engine firewall to the fuselage yet? Mine appears to have a gap at the bottom where it butts up to lower wing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboVoice Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Long time no see I had to slow down on progress since pandemic start. I work in ecommerce so it is mad busy for us, no days off, nothing. But still have few pics from a while back for update: CMK resin fuel tanks with some added wiring. I love models that show the internal much, so trying to build one this way, need to touch up few bits with brush: Dry fit looks like this: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
