It's amazing how you guys get it to look like real wood

Thanks Kai but I need not have worried about the MK IX bombsight I was wondering why it was still present a member on another board informed me it would of been removed.The bombsight does make the front office look complete the pit is in the housing and the tail was assembled last night to which the gear around the tailwheel........?The instructions could still need a little more work or I am to simple of a man Kevin

The copit is basically finished I did make the frames for the back of the seat on the radio operator.I just took some .020" square stryene put needle nose to the stryene and channel locks to the needle nose and got a flat spot then cut the angles to the back of the seat worked well.I am not reaL fond of the pilots belts but think the radio seat looks a little more animated.The bomb sight was the last thing I did tonight it was testing the patience. The whole copit tub slides on rails into the forward fuse area snug as a bug. Kevin

Seeing a Nice build here and it's pushing me towards the ZM KI-45 the engineering looks really great. Kevin

Well got something done scratch and mods really slow me down hence the reason for most builds as OOB.I was informed by a member on another board no cushions on the pilot seat seeing they sat on there parachutes so I decided to remove them all went better than anticipated.He also stated the stand was good possibility he actually is working on a rebuild of one in Canada.I am now working on the L/side of the pit with that tricky little quadrant box un-hun once I get the fuse buttoned up should go a little quicker till I get to an engine. Kevin

I have in the last couple of years started adding to the that wing Phil.Thks for looking in . Kevin

Sorry should of posted in title 1/32.

A fun little build to pass the time keep adding to the Japanese arsenal. Kevin

I have been working on this one over the last month pretty much OOB with a couple of do-dads thrown in.I painted the plane semi-gloss black,SNJ Al,light coat of light green then Japanese Army Green with light grey on the bottom.The intention was to chip heavily but the second plane in a row it was a no-go it's the semi-gloss it's to grainy lesson learned.I still think it came out pretty nice maybe a little to glossy for a new Japanese crate but it's time to focus on the Mossie.Thanks for looking Kevin

What was your thoughts up against the Tamy kit?

That last pic is not my build Harv but what I am going towards Thks for looking in Guys. Kevin Oh!by the way the shroud for the pedals their appears to be some kind of canvas/leather pouch that comes off the R/side of the IP anyone aware of it's use and color?it's the main brass piece in the middle of the pic new book comes next week.

Well I cut off the pedals once I built the PE ones not to bad don't play with the PE like I use too.I have also started black basing the interior with some semi-gloss black enamel.I have a couple things I am looking to add to the pit area thing that are readily seen around the radio equipment a pic of what I will try to replicate from another build which HK did not do the tower.I am hoping get the IP front done and contemplating about doing the wires out back be a first for me.I would like to do more in the nose but one needs to split the front not so good at that kind of surgery but sure opens up your options?? Kevin

Looking good Harv!

So Rowdy what's exactly the process for riveting? tape the line?using the recessed panel lines? it all looks really good nice and straight.Kevin

This one will quite interesting as it takes shape

I finally found my RB production belts at Sprue Brothers I ordered five all together with a couple for some Japanese AC also.I like HGW's but it takes me longer to assemble but only slightly better than RB's is it worth the extra time??I did find out that Radu walked away from the shop 100% back in march of this year to do more creative production/process more power to him I think the shop is down to CV-19.I need some American belts to which HGW may be the supplier there.Thks for looking in. Kevin

Dang it I liked his belts HGW are Nice but fiddly I could put RB's together quickly.Thks for the input maybe someone else has further info

I thought I give this one a go after doing some relaxing planes thus far I only have Eduards interior for the pit,some fabric seatbelts from HGW and some canopy mask(call me lazy) coming.I like PRU's and I am thinking of doing that one you always see in American markings now it took me forever to finish my HK B-25 "MMR" I am hoping this one goes a little quicker. I have a 1/32 KI-43 on the table painted and glossed just waiting on the right decals to finish her but have the pilots seat put together on the Mossie.I am still looking at some other builds of this kit seeing whats within my reach of further enhancements.Some of my other PRU's "lil Margaret" is in the middle all 1/48th. Kevin

That came out quite Nice John!!

Definitely looking the part Harv A question Radu still in operation? I was going to order some belts but the site is not opening up

Maybe I need some surgery all is looking good harv.I started on my HK 1/32 Mosquito tonight might post the build nothing like you guys just a few extras I go more for the exterior aesthetic qualities. Kevin

Boy you must be getting the full works on those harv Hope all went well

Holy crap!! Just luv the concept and workmanship

Now that's a Sweetheart! Beautiful and I am not a fan of the Cobra's but love the skin and markings
