Jan_G Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks guys for the kind words! really apreciate I have glued the cockpit to the right side of the fuselage, fit is fine for resin kit, problem is the supplied nose weight which needs some correction to fit into the nose. Based on Andy and Chris recommendations I added extra weight under the cockpit and behind the engine bulkheads. Supplied vinyl masks are again smaller and it looks that age and different storage conditions degrading their usability. I think that kabuki masks are more durable IMHO. Nevermind I will fix it Thanks for looking jan BradG, LSP_Kevin, Iain and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 fuselage halves glued together, the main parts were twisted a little and the vertical stabilizer used to have wrong angle so I cut the back of the fuselage and corrected it now its ready for final sanding and preparing the surface Antennas glued together thanks for looking jan mozart, Shawn M, Trak-Tor and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 You're making a really fine job of this Jan, and what a simple effective way of correcting that slight twist! Jan_G and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Very impressive. It takes intestinal fortitude to cut the tail like this, very well done. The cockpit is absolutely gorgeous, very inspirational. Cheers, David Jan_G, mozart, Out2gtcha and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) This is looking great, I must admit that faced with the twisted fuselage problem I probably would not have been brave enough to cut the tail off and put it back on straight, but you made a fine job of it, and the cockpits look fantastic.
