gunner Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) gear doors. Some nice canopy masks would be good too. (Eduard) Edited April 18, 2013 by gunner Saber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Well, if I have read the reports correctly, 5 minutes with sand paper would save you from paying an after market company to sand it and cast a copy of it for you. Saber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yep, metal gear legs (G-Factor)....canopy masks (Eduard).....that should do nicely.... Cheers,Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 canopy masks (Eduard)..... Yuk - thought I'd try some on the He111 - complete waste of money as far as I was concerned. Fresh scalpel blade and Tamiya tape quicker and more accurate IMHO... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sure seems as if there will be a lot of time for the AM guys to produce the parts needed as the Widow really won't be available for a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I can't produce anything until I get a kit, which I am struggling with at the moment, and by the time I do, others players will have got their stuff out first before me (some may already have some eraly pre-production test shots for all I know?). Without the plastic, it is really difficult to produce any AM stuff for it without knowing if it will fit correctly? Having said that, I will see what is on the market when I do get one and decide if there is still anything left that I can cover for it?

Fresh scalpel blade and Tamiya tape quicker and more accurate IMHO... Iain I have done it both ways-Kabuki tape and a scalpel. I also used Eduard's mask on a TBM. I liked the results of both but Eduard's mask was a lot quicker. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Peter, I think you will see it sooner than that. I picked mine up today at my local hobby shop. ( Southern California) BTW same shop had a Trumpy AD-4 that I picked up last weekend. Price was same as best price from various on-line stores but what I saved in shipping was eaten up by 8.75% CA tax. BTW- Both kits are gorgeous Saber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain I use them if part of a BigEd set, but I would never buy one in its own right - as you say, tamiya tape & a fresh blade is adequate, if a little more time consuming.

KOTR Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Same experience with Eduard masks and a Hase FW-190. Ended up cutting my own mask for the canopy and using the kit's decal for the prop spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 My P-61 arrived yesterday, and an impressive box of kit it is, too! I already got the True Detail replacement wheels. At first glance, some Eduard PE seatbelts will be in order as the kit ones are only lap belts and rather sketchy compared to what the actual aircraft appear to have had. No exhaust stacks. I'll just be closing the cowl flaps. Seems an odd oversight, considering all the other detail that went into this kit. Then again, radial engines have been the bane of my existence lately! If I do this one on a diorama base, it'll be a 'right before takeoff,' so closed cowl flaps should be OK. Dunno if I'll wait around for additional PE/resin. I'd like to do a really beat up '61 based on Iwo. I have two sets of Kits World decals on the way (one for the A, one for the as I was hedging my bets. Anyway, those are my initial thoughts.
