BradG 3,330 Posted May 30, 2016 Ok, my frustration with this kit boiled over a bit and I had to go off and build something else for a while. As you can see by my last picture, I've been having issues with the wheel wells. Basically they don't fit, I mean not even close to letting the lower wing fit or the upper wing line up at the wing root. Also, from the pictures below you can see the resin sections are way too small, not sure if they have shrunk or what. The under carriage looks like it's going to be real trouble to make fit properly too. So, I have made the decision that I'm going to rip out the wheel wells, close the gear doors and stick it on a pole 'in flight'. I've already been through the stash to see what pilots I have. I think a Bf 109 pilot will be fine. I'm starting to realise why I've not seen many of these actually built. Oh and I still have to sort out the spinner which is way too small to fit the fuselage. Grrrrrrr... 2 Shaka HI and MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARU5137 13,930 Posted June 7, 2016 One way to get around a huge glitch..I think it will look great in flight mode. There's always a solution to every problem and I knew you'd sort it .. Good luck with the Pilot and quite Looking forward to seeing it done. Keep up the good work. Keep calm and drink tea ! 1 BradG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeblack 105 Posted August 10, 2016 Brad - how's it going with the Folgore - you were thinking of making it in-flight? Mike 1 BradG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaka HI 5,228 Posted August 11, 2016 Man..I forgot about this build. I think we should stipulate that the moderator of a GB must participate and finish his/her build! Yes? 2 BradG and mikeblack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradG 3,330 Posted August 11, 2016 Ah yeh, I know, I was kinda hoping I'd fly under the radar so to speak lol. You've caught me. It will definitely be posed in flight, I just haven't really done anything on it since the last update. I still don't know what to do about the spinner, it's badly under size. 2 Shaka HI and mikeblack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeblack 105 Posted September 7, 2016 Sorry to hear that the Folgore is not going at all to plan, Brad. However, please be assured of the Group's support, and we would all be thrilled to see you complete it. Mike 2 Shaka HI and BradG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
