    Thanks Dave. The shallowness of the cockpit doesn't really bother me. As they say, close enough for government work! LOL

    LOL Peter! I'm looking forward to finishing this one up as I'm ready to move on to something else. Don't know what yet though.

    Thanks. I rarin' to go on painting!

    Progress. I have to say most of the parts fit pretty well. Mask stencils are on the way from Topnotch in England so painting will begin soon.

    Be warned! It's a SOB to build. The cockpit framing etc. makes it VERY difficult to install and get the wings on. I built one a couple of years ago but no more! Good luck!!!

    I say go for it. Should make a good looking model.
  7. JohnB
    I've done that too so I know how you feel!

    It was a new one on me too Carl. Thanks.

    The CMK cockpit set is finished. Much better than what the kit gives us. It's kind of strange to me that the gunsight on the B/C's was down between the rudder pedals and reflected up onto the armored glass behind the windscreen. Hard to see in the photos but it's there. Straight from my leftover parts stash.

    Welcome to LSM!

    LOL It's evident by the photo how bad the kit parts are. I like the CMK set. It's crisp in detail and looks good so I'll use it.

    Here's the KMC cockpit dry fitted to the fuselage halves. Maybe not exactly right but it is MUCH better than the kit parts so I'll proceed with using it.

    Thanks Nigel. Fingers crossed no that!

    Hmmmm...It looks okay to me but I haven't done a mockup dry fit yet. It's not as shallow as the kit cockpit thank God. I'll check it more closely later today.

    That is a great build. He really did a good job of it. I don't plan to take it quite that far but we will see. I now have the CMK cockpit set and it really is nice and should go a long way to making this model look good.

    Received the CMK cockpit set this AM. Outstanding! MUCH better than the crummy kit cockpit and should really make a big difference in the finished model.

    Ya never know Ernie! LOL I have the kit but haven't been inspired to build it yet. I'll be watching to see what you do to get the flaps sorted out as I do intend to build mine "one of these days".
  18. JohnB
    Very interesting! I will be watching this thread as I have some interest in building one (although I hope I get over it!) LOL

    Coming along really well. I had toyed with the idea of getting one but have decided to hold off due to some of the "problems" you detailed. Especially the clear parts.
  20. JohnB
    Looking good!

    That will teach me to be more careful in the future.

    I have my fingers crossed Ernie that the set will be just what is needed.

    The CMK one.
  24. JohnB
    I agree. I hate to have a model finished only to find out the numbers or whatever are wrong.
  25. JohnB
    That will be a real looker. Break out the Alclad!
