Nose_Art Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Maru, also you can make out the Phare de Walde light tower in the distance by the prop blade. The circle marks the spot. Calais area, June 1940. Will add a HB spit to the recipe. The Hasegawa spit is in front, with the Hobby Boss behind. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nose_Art Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 The Hase fuselage with a HobbyBoss rudder. Hasegawa gives us a early and late windshield, and a flat and blown hood, cool! removed the wireless door MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nose_Art Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 the HB bulkhead fits good, will have to remove the bottom to fit the engine mount. thinned the side cowling panels And the HB fuselage frame #12 in place the aileron hinges, we marked were they are with tape Thanks to Maru, Shawn, Phartycroc and mozart.

mozart Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I like what I see Art, though to paraphrase one of your sig. quotes "I am confused and don't understand the situation!". Can't get a handle on exactly what/how you're planning the model. Max geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Smart work. I like what you're doing. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
