Shaka HI Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 What's the clear part for? Those AM props looks so much wider than the kit parts. Nice progress.. r0t0rdr1ver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0t0rdr1ver Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's a donor door from the Trumpeter kit (it's on the extra clear sprue that is provided). Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0t0rdr1ver Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Huge difference in the props! Should look great on this 'ol girl. Shaka HI and R Palimaka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Looking good! I'm watching with interest here. I have so many of those old Revell kits in the stash - I had (almost) forgotten how harsh the surface detail was. I may have to invest in a rasp.

It's funny you say that, but it's almost what you need to get those suckers off! I've been using a sharp blade to remove/scrape what I can followed up with sanding. Takes much less time.

R Palimaka Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 You could almost use the kit wings as a rasp! Hard work for you, but definitely needs to be done. Keep up the good work! Bill_S and r0t0rdr1ver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I am very impressed. Nice dental work on this long in the tooth kit. Rick r0t0rdr1ver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0t0rdr1ver Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thanks Hakan! Still picking away at improving this oldie. Scratched up the structure aft of the radiator and added a PE rad grill. Used the Trumpy part as a pattern. Turned out quite well me thinks! Stay tuned for the next instalment, not sure what that will be yet, but tune in anyways! Azgaron, BradG, Rick Griewski and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0t0rdr1ver Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks Gents! Small update. The holidays and some busted ribs have slowed me down some. I've been getting the Aires P-51 cockpit for the Trumpy kit installed. Not much work actually, the set fits like a glove! I was surprised at how well it fit actually. Just sanded down the kit sidewalls and removed raised detail and that was about it. Added a bit of detail with styrene also. Hope to get painting soon and close up these fuselage halves. Cheers.
