Thank goodness for CA glue and Zip Kicker. 🤪
-
Attaching the wings now. 🤪
-
I hope I have it squared away now Gaz. Fingers crossed!
-
Agreed Peter. That frame on top makes it possible to do the surgery. Otherwise I don't know what I'd do to fix the problem. 🙄
-
My "fix" for the rear cockpit window was saw that mother in half and sand down the edges until I got a decent "fit". Later I'll have to do some careful cleaning up on the cut area.
-
Thanks for the photos Dennis.
-
I see Gaz. And I thought it was a subtle hint! LOL
-
Looks to be a big airplane Dennis. That museum has some neat airplanes including a Bearcat.
-
Ain't gonna happen Gaz.
-
Overall GSB Gaz.
-
Not without cracking the seam right in front of the tail.
-
Thanks Peter, I hope so. Not counting my chickens just yet though!
-
Test fitting the wings. Not too bad I think. Fingers crossed.
-
Very much so Hubert. 🤪
-
More progress but one more problem found. I test fit the rear gunners turtleback window and found this problem with the fit. It's one thing after another on this SB2CSOB. 😐
-
Yes indeed Peter.

KH T-28C finished

Thank you! -
Gonna be some outstanding models for sure Peter. I look forward to following along.
-
LOL Gaz. I hope it will be worth all the hassle but we will see.
-
Thank you Ernie. I hope and expect this one will be a good looking model despite all the problems. However Ernie, there is NO WAY I'll want to build another one. 🤪
-
Outstanding Peter! Really nice work and a model to be proud of.
-
I very much appreciate the kind comments! It helps to make the build more worthwhile when you know it might be a inspiration to other modelers.
-
Thanks Peter. The poor quality of most of the moldings and related fit problems do take away a lot of the enjoyment. I've done some preliminary work on the wings and I have to say, it looks like THAT'S going to be a real chore. 😉
-
A little more progress. The windscreen seems to be fitting fairly well now. I attached the engine and taped the cowling in place to check it's fit. Topside is okay but the underside is another story. I'll have to lay on some styrene strip there. Just another thing to fix. 🤪
-
After I did a little trimming/sanding it looks acceptable now.
