stevej60 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi folk's,my build fits in with my 1/32 groove at the moment and an aircraft I had never seen or heard of before, a nicely molded kit and one of Trumpeters early releases it scales out about the size of a Spitfire seems to be a straightforward breakdown of parts too.I'll crack on with this then if time permits I have the mighty SR 71 Blackbird in the stash waiting to be built. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Welcome along, these are a bit of a favourite of the warbird flyers out here. Usually 3 or 4 turn up to most airshows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all Pat I'm not 100% sure if I'll go ahead for this GB you never know what e-bay will throw up maybe not even an aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol' Scrapiron Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I've had the opportunity to shoot a few of those in various markings.

modelling minion Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Great start on this one Steve, the cockpit looks to be quite well detailed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi folk's,cockpit painted and detailed. I built the wings over the weekend without hassle,a dry fit shows a snug fit so tomorrow I'll glue them in place. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Hi Steve, I though I just left a post but it's vanished so if for some reason this appears twice, apologies. The post said that the 1/32 caught my eye and what a great start you've made; the cockpit looks great. Cheers. Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 That looks rather nice Steve. It's going to need a fair bit of weight up front! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hi folk's I thought I'd save time not putting the engine in as loose panels never look good on these kits but the only way to fit the cowling is around the engine so it is in there! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Lovely idea for a project Steve and it looks like you are off to a great start already! That cockpit looks very impressive. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
