Maginot Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Nice one. A personal favourite. I've enjoyed sitting in one of these, shoehorned into the radar operator's slot. Getting out was another matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

825 Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Obligatory sprue shot, nicely moulded and crisp detailing. Though a closer look revealed some ejection pins that will need trimmed off to ensure a good fit. Clear well protected canopy and etch for the wing fences. Nice transfers for two versions, one Extra Dark Sea Grey over Sky with Suez stripes and a slightly later one of ESDG over white from HMS Albion And off to a start with some paint on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

825 Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Not much done on this for a while, but the engine started to be assembled and some paint on. The kit is seriously over engineered with far too many ‘gimmicky’ parts. And the instructions fail to tell you to insert the intake vanes. They’re also quite a few mould ejection pins that needed removed as they were on mating surfaces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 That looks like a lot of parts which are about to be hidden from view once you close the fuselage halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. But you can’t leave many of them out as the engine effectively puts the intakes and exhaust into the right place. Anyway the engine into the upper fuselage. And there’s a mould depression in the exhaust area that I’ve missed! And I’ve added the transfers to the IP. Was a bit of a fiddle as the instructions don’t show them until you get the painting instructions. I’ve also added the intake vanes which again the instructions omit to tell you about. The plan is to let everything here dry off and then add the upper and lower parts of the fuselage together, after I fix the mould depression. Then add the seats in with some etch straps afterwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 Fuselage closed up. Was a bit of a struggle with one side and needed a fair bit of force and tape. See that lovely engine above it’s gone for good now, along with some other bits and pieces. Some filler has been needed but not much. The outer wings assembled 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 From a quick glance it seems to be coming together well. How is the fit of parts so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
