elric Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Instrument panel finishedCockpit completed fits nicely on fuselageU/C painted with a test fit of the struts, all fits by means of pins & slotsnice & firm control nothing loose or wigglyBob EmperorKai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 the fuselage went together ok, sometimes with resin there is a little shrinking so one side might be a little larger & you need to do some filing to ajust not in this case the tail fits in well, has a very fine point to it that fits on the top of the fuselage be careful with these I broke both mine & will have to put some white putty on to replace them test fit of the engine panel support unit Shape of top panel has bent in slightly so will give it some support with a small piece of rod Bob EmperorKai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 And last bit for today a test fit of the tail plane, when glued should hide the small joint to the fuselageBob Whitey and EmperorKai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Looking good! The kit appears to be well engineered. The fit looks very decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi Ray yes it is a very nice kit with some good ideas in assembling of it, for a resin kit the fit is fantastic I am hoping Graham of Iconicair does well with it for I would like to see more produced this way Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Cool! I really like the way it seems to fit together. Having built many resin kits, I can say the fit can sometimes be a question on them.............depending on the manufacturer and type of resin. Glad to see the engineering and execution on this kit it nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Engine panels only lightly tacked on, hoping for the engine sometime maybe, needs a bit more clean up in this areaWings & tail on very little needed on the wing root some filler on the tail, although I think this might have been me to heavy handed with the fileTest fit of door, open or closed?last pick for today maybe some camo nextStarting to look like an aircraft now eh!Bob Starfighter, EmperorKai and TaffyMan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
