Shawn M 8,034 Posted November 1, 2016 Washed the kit bits and cut the resin from the pour stubs Adding Barracuda Cast Seat, Wheels with Eduard Sutton Harness. Kit decals along with some Tiffy specific stenciling will lay ontop of Vallejo paints. I will be detailing the cockpit, wheel wells and thats about it. I need to finish my 1/72 Foray then I will dive into this beast. 13 Daniel460, rafju, sandokan and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn M 8,034 Posted November 1, 2016 thank you r0t0rdr1ver! Been scheming and planning all day (day dreaming at work). Need to build out from scratch: The rear radiator face IP gear bays landing lights retractable step (not sure if this is provided or not) brake lines scribe the foot step on the wing (missing) remove the mould plug lines for the car door vs bubble top and thats from what I can thing of w/o the kit in front of me lol 2 r0t0rdr1ver and MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozart 5,182 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Ooh I'm trying to resist getting into all that Shawn.....I'm going Neanderthal on my build even with the IP, I can live with the lack of detail on this one, I think (get thee behind me detailing Satan!)!! So, any thoughts about the raised rivets and panel lines? Max Edited November 1, 2016 by mozart 1 Shawn M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 1,078 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) I built that kit a few years back. Mine was molded from green plastic. Does it still have the HUGE raised rivets everywhere? I found it a surprisingly bad kit....but I imagine it was state of the art when released in 1972 or whenever. Also, we are definitely spoiled by today's releases.... I found myself scratch building the entire cockpit, and sanding/rescribing everywhere else. Here's the build thread if you are interested: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=29893&hl= Edited November 1, 2016 by Bryan 1 Shawn M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn M 8,034 Posted November 1, 2016 yes, raised detail glory! I love a challenge and will retain as much as I can and replace what I nuke. I may give it a light sanding to reduce the prominence 4 MARU5137, r0t0rdr1ver, Shaka HI and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Typhoonattack 18,133 Posted November 1, 2016 remove the mould plug lines for the car door vs bubble top I find this a bit confusing, Shawn. As far as I am aware, Revell never released a bubble top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r0t0rdr1ver 813 Posted November 1, 2016 I think Paragon did a bubble top conversion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Typhoonattack 18,133 Posted November 1, 2016 Washed the kit bits and cut the resin from the pour stubs Any chance I can snatch that box art for use in the database? And is it indeed kit #RH266? 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Typhoonattack 18,133 Posted November 1, 2016 I think Paragon did a bubble top conversion... They did indeed, but Shawn is referring to the Revell fuselage, or at least that's what I think he's referring to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
