Joel_W Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Kent, No turning back now. The cutouts look perfectly shaped. Joel kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Very crisp work Kent ... and what an ambitious project. With your skill I'm sure it will be stunning. Jim kkarlsen and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Be forewarned that there have been some issues with the bulkhead aft of the landing gear. It may line up on the outside but there will be a step on the inside between each half. This can be corrected by extending the shorter side and rescribing the detail. It unfortunately isn't easily noticed until after some major work has already been done. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So iI have tryed dryfitting two of the other bulkheads to see how everything lines up. Everything looks nice and seems to fit well together. Also all the exterior steps line up nicely. Perhaps the casting procedure can come out differently?

scvrobeson Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Nerves of steel cutting this kit open. But it will be an awesome display! Can't wait to see it all come together Matt monthebiff and kkarlsen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nichenson Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) Hope this shows and you can see it. It would have to be a slight warpage in the mold as this is an obvious flaw. However, considering its location, I believe it can be easily hidden, but since you are doing the cutouts... BTW, this isn't mine. I haven't checked mine yet.

Cap'n Wannabe Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Have you seen this before? It's Monogram 1/48, and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw it! mark31, Gazzas, kkarlsen and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Have you seen this before? It's Monogram 1/48, and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw it! I've seen Wolf's build before, and it's absolutely amazing. the level of scratch building and to the degree he's accomplished it, is just mind boggling.

Joel_W Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have seen Jorge Roberto Wolf's AMAZING work and he's MY non LSP Hero. Maru, It must be that much more amazing in person. I've never seen any pictures of it finished or even much past the separate fuselage half stage. Wonder if he ever finished it?

gfiend Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi Kent, I'm loving what you're doing with the cutaway. My Catalina build is currently stalled as I've distracted myself with a 1/16 King Tiger armour build. However, I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out. If it's anything like your B25 it will be stunning. The step in the fuselage picture shown on the previous page is an issue I found with my kit. (The picture is of my build from the large scale modeller forum.) I was going add some plastic to the shorter step and blend it with the other half. I don't think it would be too difficult to achieve. Keep up the great work Paul kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Not a build update, but this summer I was fortunate to stumble across a most tantalizing story. I read this book during my holiday... It's one of those stories were factual events are much more fantastic than any fiction writer would ever invent. If your ever gonna read a book on flying during world war 2, this would be the one... Fabulous! And now I have a new strong candidate for my PBY-build... Maybe this one will stick?

dodgem37 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Brother, you've got to put your B-25 in your signature area. People are missing out on a championship build. Sincerely, Mark kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
