williamj Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Aft Fuselage windows....Measure nine times cut once kinda thing. The actual window is slightly smaller as it has a thin circular frame around it. which will be accomplished with a mask. So.....back to it. Cheers.

Padubon Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hello, I’m glad you are doing this project. About a year ago I finished a similar build, but instead of resin, I used a PCM Spit to mate with the Tamiya one. Needless to say, it was a pain to fit but I am happy with the result. Sorry, it is a bit dusty. Out2gtcha, williamj, BloorwestSiR and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it is a bit dusty. That turned out really nice,love it..looked for the PCM kit ..but they want like 200.00 for them now...Had the Tamiya kits and a lot of silicon rubber and resin...so we just dove in.love a challenge and a bit of engineering.Haven't been able to build anything OOTB for years..might be something wrong with me.

Thanks bud. I am looking forward to your build, as I was not gutsy enough to tackle two at the same time. I usually never finish a model that I start as OOTB, somewhere along the way I start to add goodies. I can’t wait for more of your Griffons! williamj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
