    LOL Dennis. Silk purse from a sow's ear. Thanks! 🙂
  2. JohnB
    Thanks Ralph. 🙂
  3. JohnB
    Agreed Kevin. 🙂

    Thank you Kevin (I think!). I thought my previous mottling jobs looked good......... Did they look "wrong"?🙄

    Most of the painting is done. I still have to go back and paint the gear wells and re-paint the struts. Also paint the black panel behind the cowling. Some touchup then overspray with clear gloss. Decaling and weathering to follow.

    Painting under way.

    Took lots of taming too! LOL

    When I started this build I had no idea what problems with fit there would be. If I'd known it would likely still be on the shelf! LOL It appears at this point it will turn out okay but I'm not counting my chickens just yet!

    I think it's ready for some paint! 🙂

    Got the sanding and priming done. Not anywhere near perfect but it'll have to do.
  11. JohnB
    LOL One of THOSE builds!
  12. JohnB
    Yes indeed and NOT my favorite thing to do. 🙄
  13. JohnB
    Puttied up and waiting for sanding out.

    After trimming the strip plastic I decided to try to get a bit more dihedral. I'll let it sit for a while then go back and see how it looks now. No Peter, the cowl ring is from the kit.
  15. JohnB
    I think the elastic helped with the dihedral. Next I'll trim the strips I put in and do some puttying.

    I'll go see how well my "adjustments" have helped and post a couple more pics. 🙄

    I put in some styrene strips last night so this morning I'll trim the excess and see what else is needed.

    Thanks Dennis. It has had it's moments! ðŸĪŠ

    Finally got the instrument panels and windscreen attached. Attaching the wings is next. Not what I'd call perfect fit!!!🙄

    Adding the instrument panels was a tedious process, especially the top panel. Thanks to strip styrene and CA everything is installed. I just hope they STAY there.ðŸĪŠ

    Got most of the cockpit tub done. I plan to go ahead and cement it in place then see about getting the upper instrument panel, etc in place.
  22. JohnB
    Time to add the instrument faces.
  23. JohnB
    Thanks Carl. Makes quite a difference. 🙂
  24. JohnB
    Thanks Peter. It's difficult to get the instrument panel setup to fit and stay in place. A bit of a cuss factor for sure. As I continue work it becomes more apparent the Eduard set wasn't designed for this particular kit. ðŸĪŠ
  25. JohnB
    Apparently this Eduard set isn't sized to fit this old Revell kit. Some surgery and the addition of some strips of plastic on the insides of the fuselage halves are needed for the Eduard cockpit tub to "fit".
