Wackyracer Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) First fresh build for 2019. Just finishing off a P51 from the 15th FG 308th This is part 1 of a 2 ship build based up Piotr Forkasiewicz artwork for the eduard 1/48th G10 profipack. I recently picked up the Japo KG(J)6 109 book and it has several erla built machines which feature the red and black chequered defence band so a red stripe/red chequered build off was on. I haven't decided upon the exact plane just yet.

Thunnus Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 When I saw the AMUR Reaver spinner, I thought you might be using their cowling as well but I see you have different plans with the AIMS engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John Funny you say that as I do have it in the stash and after your epic build fancied a go. The aims bits came out (top gun cover and lower cowling) so put it back. I've about 3 more Revel G-10's in the stash so it will get used when I pluck up the courage LOL Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackyracer Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 And we're off... Trying to 'build' quicker/smarter than previous efforts so starting with the main parts and the associated am. So with this in mind spent a couple of hours removing, cleaning and test fitting the Barracuda wing inserts and Aims new top cowling. Pleased to say both were quick and easy with a great fit.

Wackyracer Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Trying out the Aims gear bay update. Very nice and straightforward. Installed the radiators and checking aligment/fit with the Barracuda wing replacements show no issues. Also getting the pit parts together.

Thunnus Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Excellent start to the build, Aaron! I like how the Barracuda parts fit. I had trouble with my wing inserts from Alley Cat (too small) and ended up buying the G-6 kit to get the small wing bulges on my build.

They'll need a shim of plasicard on either their edge or the fuselage but otherwise spot on. I did get a touch worried when I first tested as they were a bit depressed but after the wheel bays were installed they took the same shape as the outer wing.
