dodgem37 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 That's nice. '. . . but all that cabling gave me fits. I know it did. Sincerely, Mark BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Sounds like you had a good trip to Scotland and nice to see you back at your B-25. I have the same Profi set for the waist gunners and I'm getting fits just looking at, never kind contemplating Thr installation. I think I'll use yours as a template for when I get to it. Way better than the instructions they give you. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Welcome back David. Man, thats nice work. Yes, their directions are "interesting". Giving me lots of fits also. I have to google pictures of their sets done to even see what it's supposed to look like !.......Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwana Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The Profi kits I have, some of their "instructions" seem to be technical drawings from the actual aircraft manuals, not really anything to do with assembling their parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Nice work, David. I agree on the Profi kits. Great stuff, but incredibly vague instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thanks Ernie. I have now closed the fuselage. I finished installing the second side gun position and finished the bombardier tunnel I actually glued the fuselage last week-end, fit was good and it was surprisingly easy to close everything up. I spent the entire week sanding and puttying the seam. I have rescribed and rerivetting the back of the beast. I guess it will take me another week to do the belly. Super tedious work but it has to be done. In the middle of this I cracked open my Tamiya Birdcage (OOB except for seatbelt and markings), excellent to keep your sanity when riveting gets to you.

Guest Clunkmeister Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Looking great, David. I really like your approach with the almost OOB method. Just enough added detail to enhance what's easily seen. On the advice of friends, I popped open a birdcage and stated in on it as well. same as you but Barracuda cockpit stencils (tedious) but they add so, so much. looking forward to seeing more.

Dukie99 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Thanks for the encouragement guys. Not too much progress these days but I managed to finish sanding and rescribing the fuselage. I a,sure I will have some more to do once I prime it but the hard work is done. I could glue the tail and install the glasshouse for thé tailgunner. Amazing how cramped the tail gun position is and how little you actually see. I also installed the Grey !atter Figure tail gun canvas. A bit of sanding to make it fit but surprisingly easy and it should look great under a coat of paint. Hopefully I will make more progress this week-end. Cheers.
