    A Gutless challenge - Fisher’s mighty F7-U3 M. Populating the front landing gear well …

    Thanks Kevin.

    The cockpit is actually not as finished as I thought (and wrote) it to be:

    1) It was missing the oxygen hose that had come loose,

    2) I need to repaint the floor, pedals, control column pedestal  and back bulkhead in interior green (re-checking the colors infos has brought this up)

    3) whilst laboring on the ejection seat, I found out that Fisher has molded a part of the seat frame with the rear bulkhead, making the assembly awkward and fragile. So I removed all traces of the seat frame on the bulkhead, and rescratched a new one, that will go with the seat, thus making the lot sturdier and easier to paint.

    Pics soon

    Like you, I find the windows a bit odd myself.

    I’d probably do one door with the window fully up. It would then clearly show that the other one is down, by modeller’s choice, and not mistake (as if you could do one ;) )

    Very nice but I’ll stay with 35th. 16th probably needs a lot of real estate when complete. Also I’m still disappointed (albeit haven’t seen one in person) concerning the detail or lack of the amount of detail which I would thought would be synonymous with basically doubling the size.


    Hubert please correct my maths to seven decimal places……….

    Your wish is my command, dear sir.

    A 1/16 kit uses 10.4675293 times more volume (and 4.78515625 times more shelf area) than the 1/35 equivalent 😉

    HTH

    There's two more hanging from the ceiling not in either pic. 

    At one point I had 11, but living in a condo, it got tight so I pared it down to 7, one for very day of the week. :lol:

     

    … But then you don’t need a car 😇 !

    1/32 Aichi D3A1 (type 99) Val. (Infinity Models) Final bits.

    Nice progress, Ernie. 
    Yes, the photo-etched IP looks crisper than the plastic one, but just adding Airscale decals would already have produced a convincing result.

    It just shows that Infinity are on the (normal) learning curve of a new kit manufacturer, with each new one better than the previous one. Roden, ICM, and even Special Hobby - or Tamiya for that matter - did not do any differently.

    Keep it coming, as Peter would say :popcorn:

    Thank you for the link. I did see a few new kits that I didn't know were being released this year, with one being a Beech H18 in 1/48th scale, nothing more classic except a Staggerwing.

     

    I’d sell at least 3 kidneys to get a 1/32 Beech 18 :piliot:(and a good 17 as well - having in the stash both the Scratchbuilders’ resin kit and the old ITC / Staggerwings Unlimited IM « kit », I know what « good » means ;) )

    Hello Hubert.

    How's the design of your model?

    I have already completed mine:

    If you want, I can send you PDF drawings of this prototype in 1:32 scale?

    Here is the link to my gallery:

    Greetings Marcin

    Hi Marcin,

    Thanks for the offer that I will gladly take. I’ll PM you my email address.

    My build is stalled (but not relegated to the SOD ;) ) and needs resuming. Other life events took precedence, as happens very often.

    I saw you finished build on LSP, and was in awe with the result. I’ll be happy if mine turns out half as good as yours ! 
    I saw your build received a number of awards. Congratulations ! Each award was absolutely well-deserved.

    Dbaj o siebie przyjacielu !

    Hubert
