Jackster Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Great work on the cockpit, good idea to add the strength tabs to the nose as well. Cheers Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi John My goof - I started to re-post a what I already did and then I hit the submit button. Went back to remove the duplication and it became an OOPS and of course, I missed the last update as you must have been uploading as I was 'OOPSING' Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Although I'm not quite finished with this kit I want to list some things that (in my own humble opinion) it needs. 1. A detailed and more accurate cockpit interior. 2. Replacement props (I'm using some Monogram props which are much more accurate). 3. Replacement wheels (I'm using a True Details resin set. Again much more accurate). 4. Replace the guns with Master Model brass guns (I just ordered some for the B-17 which should be okay). That's all I can think of right now. I will say though the kit can be built OOB and will look good. Just not as accurate as it should/could be. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 John Agreed but the a current kit shouldn't need that many replacement parts especially from a much older kit. I just wonder why ICM went so thin on the details and accuracy is certain areas. Keep 'em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
