dmthamade Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yes!! That is an excellent build. What are the differences between the kit parts and the Master Detail parts? How was the cowl for you to build? was a bit of a pain for me. Don lampie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampie Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks Don. The Master Details horizontal stabilisers are direct replacements for kit parts and attached very easily. The cowl was easy enough. I built the engine assembly and attached the cowl around it. Made the hole in the back larger so it lowered the whole cowling slightly to eliminate the step at the bottom. Nothing too taxing, as early discussions about this kit made out. Sink marks on the top wing surfaces I filled with thin CA, and the MDC cockpit fitted with most of the surgery called for in the instructions not actually being required. Only other addition was a set of replacement 50 cals. Hope this helps, Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 That looks really good! Such a cool camo scheme for the P-47. Is the larger one the VFS kit? How was it in your experience? I know it's being released through Kinetic, and I'm thinking about getting one. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy option, enlarge the hole on the back of the cowl flaps part so the whole cowling sits a bit lower. Takes all of 5 minutes. As for the pylons, I'm not 100% sure I understand the question. The kits bombs are separate so no cutting needed there. I would imagine it to be pretty straight forward but not being at home can't reference the kit I'm afraid. Is the larger one the VFS kit?

Nige http://56thfightergroup.co.uk/ 1st thanks for responce,it was helpfull as of the 1st question-for the bombs i mean the resin ones are 'plain',without the kit s part that s attached on the (kit s)bombs and 'sinks' into the pylon,so should i cut it off the kit s bombs ans stick it on the resins or the latest just attouch on the pylon s arms?-thanks-cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
