Martinnfb Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Started working on the supercharger intake, then messed up positions of the holes for the gear indicator:) erased and add some service covers on the bottom of the wing Propeller blades are from Trump’s kit, hub and spinner is Model monkey and the base plate is Again Airfix mid section got some riveting , a detail that is always omitted, but it signifies the reinforced double cover panel, just saying and lastly the horizontal stabilizers will pretend that they're made of wood. that’s all for tonight.

Martinnfb Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 Slowly adding important features to the cowling and filling boo-boos as I go. I decided not to hang the drop tank on, which requires little refining of its rack . wing root fairings received some extra detail. These are not riveted, but strapped on allowing independent movement between these two structural segments. 8
Martinnfb Posted February 16 Author Posted February 16 Let’s fab up some covers. firstly we have to remove the dust shields, we won’t talk about dust shields… and then it’s all just bunnies and unicorns 5
dodgem37 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 It may be easier in 1/24 scale. Good luck. It was a beast in 1/32. It all looks good. Sincerely, Mark 2 1
KevinM Posted February 17 Posted February 17 You know what it was Martian is I confused scales forgot this was 1/24 and already a K that Airfix put out but they did the G. 3

Gunnar J Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Hi Martin Great conversion of a K4 😉 as it's easier to post pics here than I post some images of my test prints and conversion "start" of a Erla G10 and a G14/AS for Airfix 1/24 kit. I still need to address some minor things but have all the needed parts more or less. Cheers Gunnar 6
Martinnfb Posted February 24 Author Posted February 24 Hi Gunnar, that looks absolutely outstanding. Thank you for posting this. The rivet detail is perfect match to the Airfix's one. 2
Martinnfb Posted Monday at 06:40 AM Author Posted Monday at 06:40 AM Fuel tank is ready , the slats looked funny as depicted by Airfix with a strange panel line, so there will be some more work to make it right. still working on the power egg, it’s a redundant process of filling , scribing , fixing, filling etc. 2

Martinnfb Posted Monday at 08:56 PM Author Posted Monday at 08:56 PM There is something funky going on with the plastic, it is sort of flaky-ish soft ?, scribing doesn't feel right. But , the "meh" was to my inability to see the details, I have to rework it gain. 3
