JohnB Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 This time a "C" with a tailhook and in the red/white scheme. The kit is on the way to me from HLJ and I should have it Monday. In the meantime I got a Aires cockpit set from SB and have been working on getting it ready for the model. I plan to finish the model just about like the ones in the photos although I will delete the civilian "N" number and do it as a USN a/c. Stay tuned. Please click on the 1st photo for best resolution. Then you should be able to view them as a slide show. 7 2

It takes a good deal of trimming but with patience an persistence it can be made to fit. That consists mostly of removing most of the molding block, etc. 2

Mark Expand I've had problems with some of their parts, especially wheel wells, so I'm a bit hesitant to use their stuff. I was pleasantly surprised the cockpit tub fit well after cleanup. (This is the 2nd time I've used one of theirs on a T-28 so I knew ahead of time it could be made to fit.) 5 1
