BloorwestSiR Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Some nice progress there Ryan. If you don't glue the turret column to the base, you can install it after the fuselage is together. As far as the tailgunner position, you really don't end up seeing much once it's all closed up. Carl BradG, jimbo and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Thanks for the tips and pic Carl. You are right, not much to be seen. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 I know boring, but starting to set cockpit parts. B-25J by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr I'll mention one issue though, the IP center support seems longer than the outside legs. This causes a see saw effect left to right when its inserted into the locator holes at the cockpit floor. I suspect its just a mold mismatch and the fix was to remove the center locating tab and block sand the center post until it was level. Ryan D.B.

Out2gtcha Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hey if you are into modeling like we all are, then this isnt boring! Good start Ryan. Its really a great kit IMHO, but I think I put a bit too much work into the interior of mine, as Carl mentioned, there is not much seen of the tail gunner position, nor much of the interior at all but the cockpit.

Ryan Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 I think I know the answer to this question..but is this one of the ammo cans for the blister guns? B-25J by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr Ryan BloorwestSiR and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yes, that's for the cheek guns so if they're not installed you can leave them out. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Thanks Az! Still fitting cockpit together and found something that may creep up on your build of this model. Watch out for the clearance of this small forward panel, you'll need to dry fit and trim it down a little to allow the instrument panel to fit.
