It's a shame the Revell 1/32 kits seem to all have these problems. Maybe they should put the "A" team to work. 🤪

Thanks. It's coming along just fine so far. 🙄

Thanks Chris. I'm glad you like the results of my efforts!

Just the FineMolds belts Kevin. The rest is from the kit.

Progress as of today.

I know what you mean Scott. Excessive fitting, filling, priming, filling, etc takes the enjoyment out of it. Another Corsair for now but it's Magic Factory 1/48 -1A. Don't know when the P-40 will show up but probably some time next week. I plan to stick with the Corsair until I finish it then get started on the P-40N.

I like Corsairs for sure but I don't think I'm "The King". We'll see how the build goes.

I decided to start on this one today. Three tone with folded wings. Not sure this will be the particular a/c but we'll see.

The instructions are pretty bad. Those black & white diagrams, to me, are very hard to "decipher" which makes placing things in their correct position difficult, not to say very irritating! I'll leave it for a while and do something that doesn't have a high cuss factor.

I'm going to side line this one. A nice Hasegawa P-40N has my interest so I'll work on that.

Fuselage halves together and cockpit tub installed. I'll leave off the gun bay stuff to have room for some nose weights.

Seems that way Peter.

Thanks. Frustrating at times. 🙄

Been steadily working on this today. Fit leaves something to be desired but, if you are patient (which I am NOT), it'll finally all go together. I haven't done the radar operators seat yet as I need a set of belts. I'll scrounge around and see what I have, etc. Those are kit decals on the instrument panel. Turned out better than I expected.

LOL Thanks Paul!

LOL!!! Indeed, me too. 😉

I think I said "Revell" on the header Carl.

It'll be a bit different for sure.

This kit has been in my stash for a good while so I guess it's time to build it. I plan to do a a/c that was captured at the end of the war and test flown by a unit called "Watson's Whizzers". Good info on this in the book "American Raiders". The pilots nick named the a/c "Old Fruitcake" LOL. I'll use some Xtradecals for the markings but I don't think I'll weather the heck out of it as seen in some photos. Some weathering yes but not too much. Stay tuned.

Thanks Chris!

Thanks Peter. I think they go well together too. I'm glad you like the results of my modeling efforts.

Done with this build. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20152-2nd-148-p-47-from-burma-banshees-rfi/

I'm calling this one done. A nice Hasegawa kit and some really nice Thundercals decals make a good combination. OOB build except for FineMolds belts. Painted with Alclad aluminum exterior and Dull Dk. Green interior. These two builds go together well I think! I hope y'all do too. Click on 1st photo, etc, etc.

Coming along well Peter. Nice cockpit!

Agreed Peter. Thanks! Decaling now under way. I expect to finish it up today.
