    I was watching a YouTube video on that plane. I was amazed that the twin mustang has very few mustang parts!

    I’m assuming progressives are the same as varifocals? I wear them. Good for modelling and watching tv , but I preferred my single visions for driving.

    OK im sure a few of us are wondering this. What has to be done to the Airfix hellcat to backdate it to an f6f-3 please? From what i can gather , add widows behind seat , ad cooloing gills to lower cowl , add lumps on cowling over exhausts?

    I totally agree. I like trumpeter kits , but why do they make such silly mistakes on well documented things. Really frustrating.

    Agreed , beautiful work , its really got me wanting to try it.

    On to the wings , which are actually a step before the engine. I have to say , this wing center section is so strong. The two ribs fit to the wing , then the rear spar locks them into the correct position. I love the way the catapult hooks are actually molded onto the rib , and then fit through a whole. So far the ejector pin marks are all on the backs of the parts.

    Well i had one evening of modelling while i was away. I only too the engine sprue , a pair of snips and some glue , so it was very basic assembley i did. I havent attended to any seams or added any details yet. The gearcase , cylinders etc are all just slid onto the crankcase. I really recommend this book , especially if you want to add more detail. Theres loads in it. More later...

    Here you go

    Yes it can have a motor put inside the crankcase , but its not supplied.
