Phone Phixer Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Great work, looks fantastic. I did a T7 conversion using the same combination, I know what you mean by "fun" project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodenlee Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thank you everyone for your comments. I have a couple of Aerocraft/Airfix conversions to do too so it'll be interesting to see how the different kit/conversion combinations go...

The conversion was pretty user-friendly. I messed up the placement of cuts to the donor fuselage, resulting in a gap at the lower join. This wasn't such a drama as the join isn't in a particularly obvious place and is easily dealt with. I was pleasantly surprised at how workable the vac form canopy is. I don't have much experience with them and found this one good to work with. I don't think there was anything else about this build that was particularly nasty. Go for it if you've got one to do!!
