Guest Peterpools Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thanks Tony For me the Golden Years of aviation between the wars is the most colorful and my favorite. Glad you will be along for the journey. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Martin Thanks and much appreciated. Just can have enough photos, especially when the build is going to be OOB/Box Stock and painting what ever details come with the kit are so necessary to highlight those very details as nothing can be added.

Guest Peterpools Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Maru Thank you for all the photos and video; especially the painting/color details.

Guest Peterpools Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 HI Wolf I sure owe you a HUGE CUP OF JOE! Yep, I knew as soon as I broke the box open that all all the raised rivets that should be there weren't and what rivets there are, are flush - thousands of dimples. with the SBD being headed for the 2018 Noreastcon and will be entered in the Aircraft Box Stock category, the rules prohibit adding any AM at all. I decided on the Box Stock category for a few reasons: the build time wouldn't drag on for month after month and I could concentrate on the building fundamentals and painting. The two other reasons I went OOB was that I already had the ancient Trumpeter kit and that the AM I needed just can't be found any more: Eduard BIG Ed set Master's resin wheels. So might as well bite the bullet and see how the Old Gal will do on her own. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hi Justin Yup, signed you up. Haven't forgotten the Uhu and will return to her in the near futurefr sure. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hi Martin here are loads of flush rivets which really don't help much. And I have a complete set of Rosie the River Riveters but I'm pretty sure adding rivets and panel lines isn't allowed either. Sometime it's like building a model in the dark with your eyes closed Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No aftermarket.......so no Archer raised rivets! I've upped my meds, I'm better now....... Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
