JohnB Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 This one has been calling my name ever since I bought it so now I'm going to get with the program and build it. A truly magnificent kit . My plan is to build it as a a/c from RCAF number 418 squadron with black undersides. Thanks go out to Carl for providing the needed decals. I'm starting to paint the grey-green interior parts for now. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another JohnB "How to build Tamiya s**t fast and accurate like" build thread Rog LOL Rog. This one looks like it will take quite a bit longer than a Corsair, Mustang or Spitfire. My intentions are to take my time and do it right. (I have to say, Tamiya 1/32 kits are hard to beat for enjoyment of build, etc.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware ... you and the rest of the modelling world walk in different time dimensions. Mathematically, normal speed for you is (Avg Mt x 26) where Mt = Modeller's time to build. So maybe you on a slow build is like (Avg Mt x 15) or something?!? Either way you'll still have it done before I even plan the next build.

I expect it to take at least a couple of months but we'll see as time goes on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi mate. Do you have a large cabinet where you keep all these big models, or do you give each their own cases? I worry about having to dust my built models. I am looking forward to this build. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 6 display cases but now they are all full. I need another one but have just about run out of room! LOL For now I have to bunch the models up a bit closer together but still have some outside the cases. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are relatively large and inexpensive for the amount of glass you get. this one is 4ft wide, 6ft tall, and 18” deep. https://thefixturezone.com/frameless-tower-display-case-48.html?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cse&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o20&scid=scplpframeless-tower-display-case-48&sc_intid=frameless-tower-display-case-48&gclid=CjwKCAiAh5_uBRA5EiwASW3Iaq2PEc_bAB3TMZB1qlwzgibL2-_DUGc2RCPwB3lwgtrbgHv3vPTAPRoCbAUQAvD_BwE 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 commercial cases but they are horizontal instead of vertical. I'd sure like to get one like the one shown. If I could find one that would fit my budget I'd jump on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
