Matt Combined with the very nice and clear glazing makes the kit a winner for me. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Looking great!

rigor Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Don't think I've seen one with the engine exposed. Good show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vynce804 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Thanks for the kind words and encouragement so far....the more I get into this kit I think I’m going to need all the encouragement I can get! The fuselage is now together and I’m struggling to get all the nose glazing on but I’m sure I’ll get there in the end. As a distraction I spent some time on the engine and firewall. I thought everything was going great and had the engine together when I realised the exhaust stacks were way too far inboard of the nacelle and that there is actually quite large boxy structures either side of the block which set the exhausts further outboard. Well out came the knife and after a couple of hours of hacking and grafting on of evergreen rod I finally had something reasonable. It’s not perfect but will pass muster to the casual observer I hope.....I guess these teething troubles were inevitable as the engine is from a bf109 after all! Anyway onwards and upwards and I had better get back to trying not to break the canopy. cheers Matt LSP_Kevin, MikeC, Rick Griewski and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vynce804 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Well after tonight’s session at the bench it’s beginning to look a lot like a ju88! I’m not out of the woods yet and it’s still a while before it sees any paint but I’m starting to put some major construction hurdles behind me. Cheers.

Stevepd Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) What an iconic shape of the war. Never made one myself but I’ve nearly purchased a few, that is a massive amount of glazing. Steve.

DeanKB Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Coming along very nicely indeed, good work that man. One of my favourite kits, just great value. I love the Revell approach to kits - cheap, with a good basic shape, decent detail and Eduard will provide extra detail if you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
