Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 20, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted April 20, 2021 Since I used the F8 kit to build this A8.... I need to reinstall the outer MG151 cannons. This means bulges on top of the wings. Easy. They're included in the kit. And Bulges on the underwing acces panels. Harder. These bulges are quite intricate. Especially the ammo chutes. I tried to draw them up in 3D. Luckily Revell did not get the shape right. They actually used the Mk108 bulges and ammo chutes. So in the end this is an upgrade. Just ordered my 3D efforts. We'll see. Also removed the inspection panels in the large panel. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 20, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted April 20, 2021 In other news: the brassin prop hub and blades are all badly deformed and dont react well to hot water... 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I checked mine Jeroen, and the blades seem to be bent too. The spinner looks ok and fits with over the hub. In my set, the PE template for marking the middle was missing and in the Brassin engine set, there were too few cylinders packed in. Luckily, some time ago, Wumm wrote about the Brassin engine and I checked and got spares from Eduard. It's not the first time though, parts were missing from Brassin sets. Once I ordered 1/24 cannons for the Typhoon and got only one instead of four . I always received spares from Eduard, but I learnt to check, where their checking often seems to fail.

Wingco57 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Autsch, seems like a serious case of faulty quality control. Or storage in a warm environment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Eduard needs to do a bit better on the QC, especially for what the parts costs Keep ‘em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's rich, given the situation with the fire in the Eduard warehouse in January , but earnestly, I bought the set some years ago.

So had to add some additional masking tape. Eduard cockpit combing added too. Super cool project have you contacted HGW about their ‘short shot’ masks? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... can’t be bothered. Won’t contact Eduard either. Already cut the kit props to accommodate the Eduard hub. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that the case with the 30mm blisters? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On with a central ejection chute and one with the chute to one side. Ejecting the casings outward. The mk108 had different blisters with the chutes next to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 27, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted April 27, 2021 Here’s pics of the starboard aileron part. You can make out the paint on the linen. Topside rlm74? And underside rlm76. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 28, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted April 28, 2021 The cannon ports should have a flange. So closed them off with greencard and opening them op with a smaller diameter. Also smoothened the ailerons in prep for the HGW rib detail. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 3, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted May 3, 2021 Moving on to the rear engine hatches. These are not included in the Eduard engine set. So i will scratch them. Asked for references on Facebook and recieved a ton of photo’s on FB and email. Both from Steve mcGready and Ricardo Dacoba. Cut out the louvres. Smoothened the inside. Filled a tab with greencard. Added a flange and started adding detail. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
