Redboost Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) I'm kicking off with the Applecore, which I intend to build as a ASV radar equipped machine from 826.squadron, based on Hal Har, Malta; the main reference material being Tony O'Toole's excellent article in MAM July 2007. Over the weekend I put together the fuselage. The cockpit will be closed except the gunner hatch, so it is assembled just out of the box with no additional detailing. The boxart Fuselage with removed upper decking that slides back when the guns were released The fuselage tank with reinforcing stripes from Tamiya tape Painted cockpit. The wash is little bit heavier to give some depth to details under the glazing Edited July 22, 2009 by Redboost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripehound Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'll be following this with interest Redboost. I'd love to get my hands on this kit, may I ask where you found yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redboost Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 The fuselage is now closed and wings added. I also made the new position lights from clear plastic and drilled the wingfold grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripehound Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Coming along nicely. Managed to pick one up on Ebay, trick now to built it with only one arm and leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidad Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 How is this progressing, Redboost? I just loved your Vultee in the SCW GB; I am sure this will be really excellent too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaman Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 looks a nice little kit, bit before my modelling period but might be worth the addition. Looking really nice. What colour green/brand did you use on the interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks for comments chaps! Hi Maxidad, due to my other commitments the progress is somewhat slow, but lately I added the landing gear and I'm going to attach the canopy. Pictures will follow soon. Omegaman, the Interior Green is Gunze Mr.Color 364 from the Interior colors pack. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
