Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 7, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2018 Ivan, judging from your pictures, there are HUGE differences between the two kits. The two seater has none of those latches, and my nose section went together more or less effortlessly. I cut away some of the internal structure to keep potential interference issues at bay, but that’s just my cynical nature at work. So far, I’ve had no real fit issues yet. Fingers crossed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be a semi quirky floatplane build with an awesome opportunity to exercise the airbrush. I’ll warn you though. I built the engine a while back when it was getting trashed online, and it’s an ‘adventure’, not because of poor fit, but because of poor instructions. There’s plenty you can leave off the engine, like rocker covers and most of the accessory section if you’re modeling a closed cowl. I’ll post some pics once the F-5 is done. I think the Kingfisher will display quite nicely next to the HPH PBY-5. Carl, there’s plenty of little details you can odd to the Kingfisher cockpits to make it into a stunner. Mostly in the rear pit with gun mount details, radio wiring, etc. Thanks Ernie! I'll keep an eye out for it. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Ernie Following and enjoying each update. For gaps I deem either too wide, too deep or need support, I use my Goop Mix: sprue dissolved in Testors Liquid Cement. When dry, it’s pure plastic and ready to go. For quicker work: Gorilla CCA. I’ve got my Kingfisher and might just join the fun when you start yours and Carl jumps in as well. Keep ‘em comin Peter 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 19, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well, we had the neighbor’s cat over tonight, it jumped up onto my bench and knocked over a full bottle of Tamiya extra thin onto my model. The fin’s destroyed, as is the rear fuselage and front glare shield. The glue was on it for literally 15 seconds. What a total waste of time. I guess I’ll start fresh on another, salvaging what I can from this one. Story of my life 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 19, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted December 19, 2018 Was 2 seconds from stepping on it. The only thing that stopped me was the glue running off would have gotten all over the floor. Cat has been thrown outside. First and very last time I’ll have a damned cat in my home. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Damn Ernie, that's a bloody shame. Glad you didn't stomp on it or the cat. As for the Kingfisher, i've got to through a couple B-25s first. But it'll happen. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl The cat’s gone, but for a minute or two I was thinking my Luger hasn’t had work for awhile... Yeah, the model’s junk. Completely glue soaked the fin so it actually bent. I finished it off. The rear of the model was masked off over the nmf, so the glue seeped under the tape on the rear and etched the plastic. I’ll look tomorrow, but it looks beyond hope. I guess just crack it open and put the pit into the replacement Glen sent me for building this one. See how t looks tomorrow, but I know how this story usually ends. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Ivanovich Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Bad ol' putty tat! As a fellow scale modeller and former (enthusiastic) cat owner I can perfectly relate to this. Been there, done that... Cats are adorable a**holes. Keep calm, om mani padme hum and start over again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Oh dear, sorry to hear that. The quick build starts to slow a little caused by feline desasters. We own only a small dog and it's way easier to keep things out of his reach. One of my other hobbies is my huge collection of vinyls and three turntables, so definitly a no cat house.
