dora9 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 So, how do you start from this: And finish with that? You carefully measure a gazillion times and then you cut. Of course you end up with some mistakes, but not too serious, like the little half moon piece that I cut by mistake. But it was taken care of and now on with the side panels! I took some .010 thou. clear Evergreen, cut it to shape and with some strips, I did the framing. You will notice the little triangle shape in the forward frame, it's for filling the space between the grennhouse and the fuse. I looked at some pictures of a restoration project, and it was there, so decided to include it. Need a bit of cleaning and filling the lower right corner to get it flush to the fuse. See what I mean by filling the lower corner? So on with the other side and that will be it for the easy part! The top part of the greenhouse is a nice half round shape, so should be fairly easy to do. Now the little dome that closes the rear part will be something else! So stay tuned!

dora9 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys! I was tempted by this version for some time, have a conversion kit in 1/48, but when I got the Trumpy kit I started checking the feasability and made the jump!

dora9 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) So, guess I should buy a lottery ticket! I found in my stash an old Tornado canopy in 1/48 and the radius was just what I needed! A little bit of fitting and polishing should do it. Now for that dreaded bubble! Guess I'll have to do a master and strech form some clear plastic and keep my fingers crosed! Stay tuned!
