Shaka HI Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Throwing myself into the next GB! OOTB, but I'll add a few details here and there -- I suppose! This is another "practice" build -- I'll be throwing in/experimenting any and all weathering techniques I read in these forums! I wanted the the Revell Thunderbolt, but noticed that the canopy is cracked. Still, this is one beeeg WWII AC! mikeblack, R Palimaka, Dragon and 7 others 10
Ted Barrett Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Great choice Skaka HI! Look forward to watching your build. Ted mpk and Shaka HI 2
Shaka HI Posted November 26, 2016 Author Posted November 26, 2016 Thanks Ted...wow this kit is somewhat crude..I guess, I'll need to scratch most of the interior and I've never done this before. Let's see if there's a AM cockpit... mpk, Bill_S, Daniel460 and 1 other 4
tchwrma Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 I have made one of these in the last year. some work to do recessed lines and rivets, but besides this it was a good kit. With a help from one verlinden detail set, the results pleased me. Good luck with your! Cheers, Paulo. Shaka HI and mpk 2
Bill_S Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Thanks Ted...wow this kit is somewhat crude..I guess, I'll need to scratch most of the interior and I've never done this before. Let's see if there's a AM cockpit... I'd love to see you scratch something, Shaka!

Shaka HI Posted November 26, 2016 Author Posted November 26, 2016 Thanks Bill/Paulo! I'll try some scratching building first...and if they doesn't work out for me, I'll try some AM products.... Bill_S, mpk and Daniel460 3
Daniel460 Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Great choice of a neat old warbird. Dan mpk and Shaka HI 2
mozart Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Welcome Shaka.....at last!!! Scratchbuilding eh? Hhmmm, phooaarr, tsk, tsk, ohhhh! Will be watching with bated breath! Joel_W, Shaka HI, mpk and 1 other 4
BiggTim Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 You can do it!! This kit can turn out great with a minimum of AM. I finished one last year that you can see via the link in my signature if you want. I hope you build yours faster than I did, though. Shaka HI and mpk 2

Guest Peterpools Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Shaka Looking forward to following your progress and creating another gen from from the Iron Works Gang Peter
Shaka HI Posted November 26, 2016 Author Posted November 26, 2016 Nice, Tim....well I scratched the seat (not quite finished), but will probably redo it. Didn't particularly enjoy it, but we'll see... MikeC, MikeMaben, Joel_W and 2 others 5
Shaka HI Posted November 26, 2016 Author Posted November 26, 2016 Dang..I guess I'll re-scribe/re-rivet the whole thing...I'll get to use all those scribing/riveting tools I bought last year. TBH, I was expecting the quality of this kit to be somewhat equal to their P-40, but that's hardly the case. mpk and dmthamade 2
BiggTim Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Yes, it's pretty much a re-scribe project, I'm afraid. Good luck to you!! I'm looking forward to seeing it! Shaka HI and mpk 2
