The more I looked at it the more it didn't look very good so I pulled it out and redid the mounting. I left the "camera" as it was and attached it to the replacement mounting.
-
Sounds like a perennial bummer Peter! 🙄
-
Thanks Kevin. I decided to redo the camera setup for a better "look" so I hope it will be a little better than the 1st try. 🤪
-
Thanks Peter. Those won't be much help when you need something for a model! LOL 🤪
-
Making some progress today. Cobbled together a "camera" using several pieces found in my "scrap spares" box. None of it related to a camera! LOL You will notice it is facing to starboard whereas others you see face to port. Obviously a test setup.

No comment......😐

Revell 1/32 Spitfire Mk IIa

Very nice front office Peter. Looking excellent! -
I understand that Dennis. The HC early Mustang kits have gotten hard to find with some folks asking ridiculous prices for them. 🤪
-
Fingers crossed. 🤞
-
Thank you Peter. Still a ways to go on that. More "adjustments" and touchups. I'm going through my left overs boxes trying to find something that would be a suitable stand in for a recon camera. No luck so far.

Coming along on the Vector cockpit. The resin detail is really nice but it's taking a good bit of dry fitting, etc to get things to set right.
-
Should be a interesting build Carl. I'm in the middle of the Vector cockpit right now which will add a lot to the finished model.
-
Yes indeed Ernie. Some pretty ratty ones for sure. This won't be one of them though. LOL

Agreed Rob! LOL 😀 -

Thanks Rob. That's probably correct about the wings but seeing photos of the actual a/c (and others) it's evident that was bypassed since the bird was derelict, etc. -

Thanks Ernie! I'm glad you like it! Something a little different this time. I've considered doing another one in GSB that was at the same location but we will see. -
What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)

Anything to make it work! I cussed that thing up one side and down the other! LOL -

I'd take a SH T-33 over a Fly Hurricane any day Carl. LOL Getting the cockpit to fit was the problem. I finally wound up removing some of the framework to MAKE it fit. 🤪 -

When I built mine a few years ago I got so mad at it, before I attached the wings, I threw it on the floor! The thick carpet kept it from getting too much damage and I was able to resume the build a little later after I had cooled down. LOL I swore then I'd never buy another Fly kit and I haven't! 😬 -
LOL 😄
