TEMPESTMK5 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Good evening Today I did a light weathering then I placed the canopy I also glued the landing gear legs and doors ( on the real aircraft most of the time these doors are closed so I had to trim the kit parts , I am very surprised that SH only proposes the option to represent them in the opened position ..) ..

VG 33 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hi Patrice This is very nice and yes it is easier to put the canopy in the opened position as with one of mine when I closed some cracks appeared in the transparencies. Patrick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel my fingers twitching and a voice in my ear is telling me to take another SMB2 of the shelf and build it! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Good monring my friends Thank you very much for your comments .. @Wez I really hope that you will find some time to work on your build .. @Martin RidgeRunner building another SMB2 is a very nice idea .. There is a few things to know for your builds : if you want to leave the canopy in the opened position the open canopy should be positioned more towards the rear and therefore the part of the kit on which this canopy hinges should be tilted backward and not forward On the real aircraft most of the time the main landing gear doors remained closed on the ground and therefore the parts of the kit that are intended to be represented open must be modified ..
