Martinnfb Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) ok, so here is what I did in order to actually get an idea about the shape of the spine. Please be aware , that the back of the model was already flattened under hot water and slightly sanded at the rear. I traced the cross-section on a piece of paper. It is rudimentary approach, but it will do for now Edited July 19, 2017 by Martinnfb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I placed cutouts on the actual model and here is result. As you can see the section 11 is slightly wider and that continues along section15, that is also still too high. On the other hand the at the point of section #18 I took too much. Over all, Trumpeter has it in the ball park, but the frontal area is wider that it should be and gives it a weird saggy look. Please do not get discourage, this is nice kit OOB waiting to be build. I believe that Chris (ZactoMan) will find ways, how to eliminate little glitches and I know for sure that Eduard has a set on the way. , having said that I am gonna mix some resin now. Cheers M.

oyoy5 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 No offense but that's a lot of corrections for a brand new kit that cost over 130 bucks, there is a ton of research and photos of the 29A. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
