dutik Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Oh, well, supersonic porn. Yes, that is a good reason to readjust any build I know the "artwork" and the story from an article in a german modelling magazine but was not aware of the aviators name. You know, a nude supersonic girl trumps all Well, in Germany porn is allowed, while swasticas are banned. Just unable to remember if it was reverse in the states Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 have fun with the fit of the Avionix cockpit. I was sorry to hear you went with it. My opinion (and I know we all have them) is the Aires cockpit fits better and it takes care of the oversized front instrument panel. I hope it al works out well for you. Is the pilot able to supply you with any period photos of the a/c Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hey Bruce Ya dance with what ya brung! I already have this set and no sense in wasting it if I can make it work. I looked at the Aries pit in Mike's build and with a pilot and canopy closed I figrured It be OK. Pit fits fine and I started surgery on the IP, about the same as what I planned for the kit-pit in the F. Vic is out of town for a week and said he would contact me when he's home, I have not ask him about pics yet. Thanks jack Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Thanks Vitali You know all the issues people say about this kit and the corrections and the A/M sets and :blah: Mine is the RIVETS!! If you look at photos of the fuselage you see Panel Fasteners, but do you see rivets? I see a Crap-load of SPOT WELDS, SPOT WELDS, SPOT WELDS. The wings aren't bad as the panels are virtually SCREWED on. So now comes the REALLY FUN part, filling 105 bi-zillion RIVETS that do not exist SEE YA !!!!! jack Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hey Vitali, I love for my wrist to scream from sanding Sup Glue plus some of them I 'm saving as panel fastener screws. I'llpost some pictures a little later, I'm just checking in while I take a break.....I did manage to score a T-6 today for a Good Price. Paul I also scored a couple on cowls for the Corsair and sanded some rivets Not a bad day so far! watch'in me jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Start of Rivet Elimination Week ! Super glue on a tooth pick makes less mess and is easier to leave some for fasteners Sorry for the yellow look, I didn't change the fluorescent light. The front and rear have just been sanded, but no filler. Looked ok with the eyeball, but not with the camera. I have to be careful because of the "aluminum" Paint will show everything. Pay me now.......Pay me later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
