JohnB Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Progress so far. I'll mount the turret assembly to the cockpit sub assembly then attach all that to the fuselage halves. So far fit has been good. I didn't bother with the stuff behind the engine bay as it would not be visible later. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 John WOW< you sure are rolling ... the engine and interior looks great and nice choice on not spending time on those hidden details - I would have done the same 'Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Thanks Peter. I hope to have the fuselage closed up soon then it's on to the wings. At first glance they just might be a bit fiddly with a bit of a cuss-factor. We shall see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 13, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2018 If it’s anything like the Accurate Miniatures kit, and it looks similar, closing the fuselage will be an ‘adventure’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Looking great, I hope Clunkmeister isn't Right about closing up problems with your TBM and about the 1/48 one from Accurat Miniatures, because this will be one of my next builds, peppered up with lots of AM. I wish you luck with the fuselage and hope to see that beauty developing further. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunhertz Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I didn't have a great deal of issue with the AM TBM apart from the turret but then everyone does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
