Dandiego Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Nice work on a huge kit. I improved a 1/18th Hornet a few years but I didn't go as far as you on adding details. Dan patricksparks and Harold 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricksparks Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Finishing the turtle deck, have to still make some vent fairings to go over the 2 holes at the rear of the deck. Marcel111, Kirk, Harold and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Hello Patrick, Really great job! I’m making the HB 1/18 Fw190 but I’m not detailing it anywhere near this level. interesting kits!

Kirk Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Great work Pat. Every little tweak makes it look SO much less toy-like than the base kit. Here is a link to that GTS that Mr Everett has for sale for when you decide to open up those access panels . I wish I had £6k floating around free - it would make a great house backup generator and really annoy the old bag dear lady next door. And here is a link to the page where Vitaliy deals with the awkward shape of that intake at the top and bottom edges. Whilst looking for this, I notice that he discovered a hole of some sort in the aft face of those boundary air chimneys that is just about visible from the top. Probably only if the canopy is off but I thought you might like to know... Kirk Edit: Nice pic here of what's under them big doors...

I sometimes I come across things on this kit and wonder if the tool maker was taking long lunches while working on the molds ??? Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Fantastic build! You're really tempting me to grab one of these to convert into a Gr.9, but I'm pretty sure I would go absolutely crazy doing that conversion job.

Kirk Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Do it Matt. What do you need your sanity for anyway? - it's precious little advantage in daily life. ...And if you do, I have some useful stuff for the seat bulkhead area - which is significantly different from the AV-8B. Seat rails, oxygen plenum etc. Kirk patricksparks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
