Anthony in NZ Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm in Love!....... Sorry to ask, but what was wrong with the nose? I think I heard somewhere the windows were too big or something but HpH replied saying it was being corrected with etched window frames.... Cheers in excitement Anthony Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers in excitement Anthony This was posted a while back: I'm by no means an expert but to me (and some other posters), the cockpit windows (and the geometry of the nose in general) are badly off. Maybe they can correct this with different framing? Just doesn't look right... Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilB Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I do love that office chair! AC47 conversion would be nice.

Out2gtcha Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I doubt Id ever get this kit, with the price and my lack luster passion for it, but I know theres only one scheme Id do for a Gooney Bird! Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I’m surprised they didn’t make that crew acesss door a separate part so you could see at least a tiny bit of the cockpit interior. Honestly, I’m not sure why they went to the trouble (and cost) of super detailing the nav and radio operators area, none of it will be visible.

You will get the details and its up to you how much you want to display of it (nice example was the Kent's amazing cutaway build of PBY). I personally would prefer to have option without this compartment details for DC-3 (and save some cash on it) with cabin doors closed, however with C-47 you will see at least something through the small side window and astrodome. jan Rick Griewski, scvrobeson and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 That detail is amazing! I don't know if I will get one, however. I am close to waving the white flag on all these new releases. I can't keep up and am running out of room to store everything, let alone find the time to build everything! Oh, I forgot: I am immortal. Have to be to build what I already have...

I think of it as buying now when/if I have disposable income to do so, so in case one day Im retired and dont have the ability to buy them any more, I'll still be able to build some cool stuff.
