Steve Coombs Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Coming along very nicely there. I've heard that the tolerances are tight in this kit. When I finally get round to building the Walrus in the stash, I think I'll be masking a lot of mating edges just to be on the safe side when painting bulkheads and the like. Will you be building the kit wings out or wings folded? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fubar57 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Very very nice. One in the stash as well. Was the clamp because of the fit or just to hold things steady. The multi-part hull, which I didn't know about when I got it, looks daunting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the new(er) Airfix kits are no Tamiygawa regarding the fit but no real major problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
