I thought I have checked but thought 22/23" depth was big enough for a 1/32 B-17 but not sure about that lanc and that's housing it at an angle.I think a tower concept may be of interest if you plan on building more of the heavies less space in the long run also.

I have been contemplating the start of another floor cabinet of the same design as the first.The big wall cabinet @92'LX22'DX48'H was running out of room for the 1/32 which was my original intent for the cabinet but 1/48's had invaded again lack of storage.The other thing nagging me was the "ScharnHorst" @1/200 scale the hull is roughly 38/39" in length and just were do I keep that beast while building it?I needed to create a 4' gap on the wall in the HR.I was going to ditch one of the old floor cabinets then started realizing that building another floor cabinet with all the other wood work on the other side it's mine it's last!I started looking at the ole floor cabinet and said that might just fit underneath!!lol and behold it's the same height could not plan that better.I cleaned and moved about 15/20 planes to make 1/32 space and wa-la the platform for the beast is set easy-peasy.I also got all those kits off the floor moved into the house and cleaned and organized my upper closet for that to happen and yes Momma was not home Scott stuff was moving.

I know Trumpeter kits are not perfect but I think what you have looks quite convincing/realistic.I built the G-2 and liked the kit no major setbacks but I try to build to what is aesthetic to the eye but then my builds get seen by few outside of the shop. -

Well she has had her moments for me seems everything has to happen 3X times to get it right.The sidewalls I glued to the fuse to get a tight fit along the top ledge but I started by gluing in the IP first to the L/side.This part of the build was 3X in the position of the S/walls which in turn determines the position of the pilot seat,I was always to far back..The canopy framing tells one were the pilot is to be located.I started building the wing as per instructions it offset everything had to rip it apart and start with the lower center section to the fuse and work my way out.The wings fit OK going to be a little filler but the undersides had a .030" gap about nothing to complicated just another hurdle to overcome.I screw the pooch on the battery tray behind the seat and it whole not budge our break loose just said screw it once it hits the cabinet that's the end of that visual.I am going to finish this guy warts and all. -
Nice Peter looking every bit the part.

Thanks John just about finished with the office only seatbelts left.John do remember if you glued the sides to the floor or put sides to the fuse? I am trying to figure were the sides go on the fuse no marks of course. -

KevinM replied to KUROK's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Those look good and the prop looks good also! Rob another member on here got me started on "Nato Black" I just about use it everywhere now.I did some invasion stripes in semi-black and hit them spotty like with NB and it looked convincing to me.Keep up the good work. -

This is about as far as I have gotten so far with most of the resin removed from the pours,washed in soapy warm water and now all to dry overnight.I had items that needed my attention on the other side of the shop mainly 1k rds of 30cal carbine needing assembly.I think it's time for a Scotch been a long week extra hours at work OT and in the shop some Jura might find a glass tonight. -

My Airfix 1/24 scale Typhoon
KevinM replied to Irishman1's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
The Typhoon came really Nice and not over done on the weathering,As to the Kenetic what I have seen some do with the engine has been pretty nice but it was added on.The copit did seem it was kind of bland from what little I have seen but enhancements I would bet can be added fairly easy just let the imagination happen. -
