Happy Jack's Go Buggy RFI
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Thanks! I'm pleased with the way it turned out and the grafted on Revell upper wings remedy the over done rivet detail on the Tamiya wings. I'm glad I had a set of Revell wings left over from a previous build. Now to try to decide on what's next. No clue right now though (don't have ANY Corsair kits either!). -

Finished with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19668-happy-jacks-go-buggy-rfi/ -
Tamiya kit with FineMolds belts, Barracuda wheels and cockpit details. Painted with Alclad, MM and Tamiya Acrylic (OD uppers). I replaced the top wing halves with some from a Revell kit which gets rid of the over done rivet details on the corresponding Tamiya wings. Decals are a combination of kit decals, Draw Decals and some from my decal stash. I hope you like it.

I forgot about this when I was working on attaching and smoothing out the leading edge parts. I just went to attach the gear and THEN I saw what I'd done. Not a big problem but I couldn't use the screw's to attach and anchor the gear. I fixed them in place with some CA. They'll stay put okay I think but won't have quite the strength a good screwing ðĪĢ would give 'em. LOL -

Most of the painting is done except for a couple of areas that will be masked off and painted (flap hinge areas) then some over spray with clear gloss to get ready for decaling. -

Coming right along Peter. Most of the painting is done but I will need to go back and repaint some areas that didn't come out like I wanted. ð -

Primed and ready for painting. The underside black ID stripes will be masked off and the undersides, etc painted NMF. Uppers OD. -

Thanks Peter. I was a bit doubtful at one point but, after lots of filling and sanding, it finally smoothed out. I'll be attaching the cowl pieces next. After some test fitting it appears they will fit okay. -

I sprayed some primer and it looks like it's good to go now. I'm in the process of attaching the wings to the fuselage and I think everything fits very well. Pleasant surprise! -
I solo'd on July 28, 1968 in Cessna 150 N2594T. I still have my shirt tail signed by my flight instructor.

I agree Peter. Those areas are a PITA on both Revell and Tamiya kits. I hope I have it smoothed out fairly well now after plenty of filler and sanding. I'll spray some primer over that area today which should show up any needed additional putty/sanding needed (and cussing). -

I just found some Revell corresponding parts so I'll test fit those to see if it's mo betta. Fingers crossed. Removed the Tamiya parts and tried the Revell replacements. Works a lot better. Not perfect but well enough that it will be easier to putty and sand as a lot of the gaps, etc are a result of me trying to get the Tamiya parts to fit. ðĪŠ -

The Revell upper wing halves fit okay but the Tamiya leading edge pieces do not as you can see. The only thing to do is glue 'em in place as best I can then putty and sand the crap out of 'em. Those particular pieces have always been a PITA anyway but particularly so here. ðĪŠ -
