    I got my Fw gear yesterday. They are great looking parts and shipped fast. Where will I be able to buy more later without the LSP board? Jeff

    Hey chuck- I have been thinking about this canopy thing. What about sanding some off of the smaller 2 canopies bottom edge and replacing the clear with a styrene strip? That would maintain the same basic shape and you would only have to take off enough for them to fit. If you had to use a bit of strip on the canopy rails it would not be drastically obvious. I have this kit in the stash so I'll be dealing with this myself some day. Plunge forming is not hard and the average modeler can pull it off especcialy on a flat sided glass like these. The plastic sheet would cost a lot less than more kits. Just polish the framing off the existing canopy and use it as mold to pull new strip of plastic over. I have done it with clear boxes you get baked goods in. Good luck.

    A 1/24 Airfix Hellcat set would be great too!

    Strips of foil would work too.

    What about making identical size bases like tiles that fit together to make an airfield and securing the model to them and then hanging the bases with a sliding cleat on the wall like pictures? You could take the model down for closer viewing and still have them visible from the top around standing eye level.

    Jim, where is the cat now?

    Reading this in December of 2019 I'm glad nobody's life depended on that Tamiya P-47.

    Is that and Erla??? The canopy is wrong but the cowling gap?

    What does it look like under a metal finish? As smooth as regular CA?

    So that means in 1/32 scale filled panel lines should be just visible from 9cm...

    I see some of you are using a black CA glue. When I did some searching I found tinted glue and "rubber toughened" glue. What are you using and what are the advantages? Jeff

    I have been looking for photos of the upper wing surfaces.

    What is the best book on the A6m for modelers?
  17. TwoHands
    Looking good! I have used that masking/primer technique to make similar subtle surface details like tapes on control surfaces.
  18. TwoHands
    A little??? HAHAHA!

    Looks almost like blue angel blue!

    Love how your handling the finish. It really sets off that surface effect!

    That is one BIG jump jet. Enjoying your work tremendously!

    I have thought this many times watching this build! Then you have to decide- where does it end?

    Looking great JayW! In the past I have made for lack of a better word a "roll cage" of plastic strip to protect delicate parts from an accidental brush with your hand or tool but not a trip to the floor. Maybe just some bent .040 strips glued into "angle iron" and glued root to tip inboard the root parts would cover those rib ends and still let you work on them from behind? Just throwing out the idea and hoping it's somewhat clear what I mean. LOL . Enjoying your work! J

    What about using a roller to flatten the cross link chain?

    The needle is a hollow stainless steel tube like the doctor uses that leaves a perfect circular scratch on the plastic. Can't find the pics I took...
