Guest Peterpools Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Andre Awesome progress you're already have passed my by. Wings look mighty good. I did assemble and glue up the wings a few days ago and filled in any small mini seams I found on the leading edges with CCA. Ready to sand and then the lost rivet details need to be added. Oh what fun Keep 'em comin Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks Gazzas, it's a bit dark but I am satisfied with the overall rendition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks Peter, The wings are quite easy to build, just a bit of rescribing and drilling the lost details while sanding, but that just it compare to what I already did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) So after beeing locked up for a few days at -24C, this is what I did. Finally closed up the fuselage, a bit of touch-up here and there and that will be it. I put the fuselage on top of the wings just to add stability while shooting the pics. Now on with the engine! Stay tuned! Edited January 9, 2018 by dora9 Gazzas, Trak-Tor, sandokan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Yeah! Wings and horizontals are on! Spread the fuse a bit to improved the fit of the wings, horizontals are a drop-in thing not much to do about them. When I was saying that this is one of the best Trumpeter kit, it reminds me of the Avenger. Tape on top of the fuse is to prevent the join to spread open, it is where the two panels for stowing the gun are. A bit of clean-up to do and re-drill a few rivets and that will be it. Now engine and cowling. Stay tuned! Edited January 9, 2018 by dora9 sandokan, dennismcc, MikeMaben and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Nice work as usual Andre. Pre-war....just my 2 cents Jack I gotta get one of these dora9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hi Jack, thanks! Since Peter is doing a yellow wing, I thought of big rondels with the red meat ball and the stripes on the rudder or tone down at Midway. Not sure yet. Think I'll toss a quarter to decide or ask my wife wich one and then do the other! If you want an SBD, then go for it! It's a really nice kit with lot of details out of the box! Stay tuned!

Guest Peterpools Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Andre Fantastic progress and you're now way ahead of my build and I was inside for the same number of days! Fit and details look spot on the money. I'm still fussing with the scoop on top of the cowl and hate scribing clear plastic and all I seem to do is: scribe - CCA - scribe - CCA: progress: zippo. Very nice work attaching the rear portion of the cowl assembly. Keep 'em comin Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
