ScottsGT Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Well this project sure took a few turn of events that were changes for the best. It started out as a “quick out of box” build just to help reduce the stash. But then Carl jumps in and offers up a Fisher folded wing. How can I say no to that!? Then I discovered the canopy was a hot mess and all out of shape which meant I needed a Squadron vacuum canopy for a Typhoon. As construction continued I put a post out on LSP for a Fisher corrected prop. I was floored when I got a response after a few hours, and like the wing, it was gifted to me as well. Man, I’m gonna pay it forward in a big way when the opportunity arises. After dealing with very fragile decals I decided that I was not going to push my luck trying to weather this one. I actually had an accident untaping the canopy and grabbed the upper half of the “A” on the right side with Tamiya tape and ripped it off. Thankfully some careful re-taping and brush work fixed it. So much for my quick build. All in all I put about 7 weeks into it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Great job on a pig of a kit. Sorry to have made the easy build hard for ya. @Martinnfb is trying the same thing on me with the P-51A I bought for $16. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 As the guys said above, this is actually an exceptionally successful story of a build. I wouldn't have the mental strength to even open the box All I can add is, Bravo! 👍 Cheers Martin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
