Guest Vincent Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Aaahh. "Wish you were here" before Vincent. Well, I see what you mean, yes you are right .Front alignment of the windscreen is 2 or 3 mm behind on the fuselage If I moved the windscreen to forward, fitting of the rear part canopy will have problem. It needs to use windscreen and canopy parts separately. And in this option, the gap between the windscreen and opened sliding canopy will be increased. So my options are: 1- Finding a separate Hasegawa windscreen, and re worked the overlap area of the windscreen, at least 1 or 1,5 mm forward. Thus error portion will be reduced. 2- To continue as it is by using the drug of "it is just 2 mm behind not too much" 3- And stopping the project Waiting for your suggestions. Hard to tell I would personnally correct the Trumpeter windshield then vacform a new one over the modified part... On a side note, contrary to what many people suggested in the past years, i would rather go with a Trumpeter kit than with the Hasegawa one...

Vincent If I am not wrong, all the vacuform canopies in 1/32 scale are made for Hasegawa kit, and also I do not like to work with vacuform canopies, I think it's not my way So I will try to move 1 or 2 mm forward actual Hasegawa windshield. It needs some work of course. Thanks for the advice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Some progress. Before installation of the cockpit into the fuselage, I decided to do some works to shift windscreen forward. It seems that windscreen is 2 or 3 mm backwards. As a result of these works on windshield fitting area, it was shifted forward by 1.5 or 2 mm. Although the current position is not entirely correct ( still 1 mm backward) I think I can live and continue with this Seversky, jgrease, sandokan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
