Nice steady progress harv. I really like the subject but not sure I could be bothered with all the work this kit needs. 👍

[harv]

Well so far I'm actually enjoying the challenge...so far. It is an awful lot of work. Plus Fly instructions ,and none with the resin......harv

Mission accomplished....harv

How come there's one big and one small window at the other side ? Shouldn't it be the same? Also aren't they supposed to the placed ( as a rectangles) in horizontal position rather than vertical ?

lots of water and fertilizer will do the trick.

Martin, the 2 windows are langer because of the guns.....harv

[Martinnfb]

Ok, I. might not express myself clearly.

1. You said mission accomplished , how so,, if one window is still remaining small.
2. The orientation of the window opening is wrong, see picture bellow please

Now that's a major fix that Harv has to do - I wonder why the manufacturer used the wrong window orientation: portrait when it should have been landscape in photographic terms?

Keep 'em comin

If I understand correctly, There was no instructions available for the conversion. 

[harv]

The Fly kit molds are for both the HU 5 and HC 2 . The HC2 has smaller windows than the HU5. So the HU5 windows have to be enlarged anyway. The two that are bigger were modified to allow the machine guns. The bigger windows are my doing. Not part of the conversion....harv

[Martinnfb]

They are wrong.

Some crazy armor or reinforcement on there, yikes.

[Martinnfb]

I get it now, your are not placing the windows in, just keeping it with the whole panel removed. I stand corrected , duh Martin

[harv]

I do appreciate your help my friend......harv

[Winnie]

The larger windows are actually the entire emergency exit removed. Sweet job!

[harv]

Thank you my friend ! Yes, I did notice that as I was cutting the first one....harv

[harv]

Got a little done on main floor. Painted, hair spray and light grey. What are your thoughts....harv
