1/32 Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk

Time for an update on the Seahawk. 

After getting the engine done, when I test fitted it into the fuselage there was a gap around the cowl. I sanded down the cylinder heads a bit as well as the firewall and got things better. I finally gave in trying to get a perfect fit and just glued the fuselage halves together. 

The gap at the front is probably no worse than on many IM kits so I just filled and sanded it down.

Looking great!  The details achieved with resin in this kit is pretty amazing.

Next up was the rudder. The beaver tail (for want of a better term) has a mould imperfection in it. 

I realized the rudder will cover it completely so I didn't bother fixing it. With the rudder in place. 

I then started on the flying surfaces. The tabs for the tailplanes were slightly longer than the slots in the fuselage so I trimmed them slightly and then glued the port one in place. 

Then I test fitted the port wing, made some small adjustments and glued that in place. 

The small gap at the wing root needs a quick full and then onto the starboard side.

Sure is looking good Carl

The other wings are now on. 

These went on the same as the port side.

Won't just fly in a circle now...

It definitely won't feel like it's at a NASCAR track now.
