diases Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hi Guys. As some may have seen, I was going to build the Eduard 1/32 boxing, but wanted the engine cowling open to display the engine. During research into this, I found the Eduard big sin set for the revel boxing. Originally I was going to convert this to fit the eduard kit. But the revel kit is only £21, so Plan has changed. I'll still make the eduard Kit, but closed up in Flight. But not during this GB, as I dont think I'd have the time availible. So Heres a few shots and the start of Build 2. £21, a lot of kit for little cash. So this is the Big Sin set Qiuck shot of the detail on the engine cowling. To my eye's its detailed and so very thin, almost see through Couple of shots of the engine components. So thats the plan, If anyone wants particular shots of the contents, I'll happily post up the required content Cheers for looking Paul 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diases Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hi Guys. Made a start on this one. Started with the cockpit assembly, all the resin bits have been tidied up (still a little more to do). that took most of yesterday. As you can see, detail on the side walls is impressively busy, even though most will be hidden away. Fit is good at the rear, mating very nicely, but the Starboard wall appears a 1mm of so too long, so will need a bit of fettling. There's 2 IP included, one with moulded on instruments and a flat one for the PE panels. Must admit I broke the control column in Half during clean up, but should glue back together OK, so no real drama, although a bit of swearing while finding the base on the patio. I'll start assembling today, and hopefully have some sort of update later. Cheers for looking, all comments, both positive and negative, most welcome.

Col. Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 There's a lot of lovely detail rendered in that Eduard set. This has all the potential to be a spectacular model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diases Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hi Guys, thanks for the comments about the Big Sin stuff. Looking forward to actually starting on the engine and cowls, but first must complete the cockpit. So been beavering away at it, and have completed assembly of the base plate. Doesn't look much in base colour, but 29 pieces of photo etch and 9 pieces of resin makes up the base plate assembly. Still have weathering and washes to add, and hopefully, the details will stand out a little more. Starboard side wall has had the first stages of paint. 5 colours so far. Bit more checking with pics for details needed, but starting to get there. Port sides not been touched yet, as careful planning for painting/building sequence is needed, hopefully, I'll start later this afternoon on it. IP is coming along nicely. Although there's a few delicate lever parts to bend, that's the job I'm working on at the moment. Don't know how much will be visible of the final product, but all covers will hopefully be open on the final build. Eventually I'll get to open the actual kit and see what it's like Cheers for looking, and enjoy whatever your building. Paul 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diases Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hi Guys. Bit more work on Cockpit assembly, and subtle weathering. Pics are a bit bright so I'll try some more later. And when taped together Just the Gunsight and rear access panel to sort now, and onto the engine. Cheers for looking Paul 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman36 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Looking good, must say that the Revell 109 is pretty good looking plane and well worth upgrading🏆 cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diases Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hi Guys. More progress, and even opened the actual model today. Finished up all the cockpit and canopy PE upgrades, I'll post pics later when they get used. Tyres and Hubs have had their basic clean up, but more to do. Started on the Engine, after a lot of sanding and coffee, we have this Lump. That's stage 1 and a little of 2 complete, there's 37 steps in total, and all ready looks amazingly detailed. Also started cutting the kit panels and structure to allow the fitment, but still more to go. I'll post pics of the modified half compared to the unmodified when I get the first half finished.

diases Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Last Bit today.. well maybe some paint on engine later😉 One side of Fuselage modified, forgot to take pic of panel above wing root that's been shortened for new cowl. Still need to drill 4mm hole for Propeller shaft Taped both sides together for comparison. Tomorrow will be second side trimmed and more engine work. Hope everybody's still having fun Paul 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
