mozart Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) I'm doing one of these beauties, haven't decided which individual aircraft yet but I have a tenuous connection with 56 squadron so: Hopefully will make a start tomorrow afternoon, otherwise Thursday. (Is it my old eyes, or is the tail fin of the middle Tiffy a different shape?)

Lothar Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Excellent choice, can't wait to see the first cut plastic. My guess would be the camouflage of the third aircraft makes the tail fin of the second one look taller, but that's only a guess Lothar Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to prove the camera CAN lie!! Wow you have your hands full along with your Anson and dare I mention your Revell Hurricane Max! Will be following with interest. Regards. Andy Yes Andy you're right, got a bit bogged down with the Anson - it's still very much alive and kicking but this is therapy for head-banging moments. It was a toss up between the Tiffy and the Hurricane....if the Tiffy goes well, the Hurri could be on the books for No. 2!!

Just goes to prove the camera CAN lie!! I don't know. The leading edge of the middle craft has curvature where the other two are straight. Could it be that it is a prototype pressed into service?

Shawn M Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 if you're doing an early 1B you'll need to create the rudder mass balance as the kit is missing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Just to "clock" the date of starting!! A tentative start: a light sanding of the fuselage to lessen to prominence of the rivets, raised panel lines and aft fuselage strengtheners. I've also cut off the rudder so that I can pose it slightly off centre later and sanded off all the very heavy stitching......waaaaayyyy over the top! I've started doing a few bits to the cockpit, there's a little warpage of the framework on one side but that won't pose any problems. As I've said previously I don't intend detailing the cockpit any further than putting in a rudimentary support for the Barracuda resin seat and home-made seat belts, I may add some detail on the IP, I'll see how it looks first of all with the transfer that's supplied.

mozart Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Cool, EK-US-A, funny ring to it. Without wishing to get anyway political, God forbid, but Eek USA might be what many of us are thinking at the moment!
