Fix for Revell new 109 Spinner

[BGB]

Hello an easy fix and cheap too,

 

Scribe a line where the spinner meets the baseplate saw off the three pices and glue them to the spinner putty and done.

 

Cheers

Boris

Thanks !

 

Regarding to the shape, the revell spinner seems to be more accurate than the hasegawa :

 

 

 

Strange engineering, though... It could have been so simple to do a flat base and glue the spinner on it, as with the hasegawa parts....

NO, they could not do this! In such a case, the shape of the three holes would be erroneous as on the Hasegawa or Trumpeter Gustav kits! Look at the picture in your post.

 

However, they could have chosen the approach used by Hasegawa for the Friedrich! Still not perfect but better. The only solution with injected plastic to ease modeller's life would require a dedicated and complicated 5 parts slide mold! I guess this is considered as too expensive for a single part...

Hello Yes it is better in shape then the Hase,

I hope to find a spinner/prob am kit from D.O.C. in my mail box this afternoon. I ordered them from a polish website. On picture they look great. Anyone already have them?

 

Bye!

I love them too. Would you say that this is the correct shape?

 

[BGB]

HOHO! I'm glad that i cant see your pics,

But nice spinner that one

Anyone tried the Eagleparts spinner on the Revell? It is the MOST accurate, yes? 

[BGB]

Hello,

Actually dont know which is the best AM Spinner, lots of experts here somebody would surely be able to answer your question.

Cheers

I do like your kit part fix, and will surely use it when I build one, but I ended up with a couple of Eagleparts spinners in a kit trade i haven't used yet.
