Michael Winters Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I plan to build this kit at some point. Has anyone built it and learned any tips or tricks, quirks in the design or have any other advice? Mike Winters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I've nearly finished mine. The only thing I can think of would be to make sure you use the correct parts for the supercharger as they are different from the earlier VIII and IX releases which are also in the box.

LSP_Ron Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Read the instructions very closely at every step. There are little things that are easy to miss like drilling the locator holes for the exhaust in the heads before gluing the halves together.

Dakkg651 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Built this model a while ago and had terrible trouble with the cowlings not fitting properly. After seeing Carl's post above, I think I now know why! Good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-M Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hi, I built mine a year ago, and enjoyed it. Be mindful of the instrument panel decal for the horizon indicator, it is in colour and for a post war aircraft. If you are fussy about that, just replace it with a black and white one over top. As others have said, use the correct supercharger pieces, or your engine cowl panels will not fit. Enjoy the build. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
