Tolga ULGUR Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Thank for your comments As a matter of fact, there is a critical point to be able to start this project. This is unarmored windscreen. Thanks God Alistair McLean from Aerocraft Models helped me and produced a very nice stuff for Hasegawa fuselage. Thanks Alistair.

Does the Revell/Hasegawa kit include the early (non bulged) canopy? I'm planning to do a Mk.I conversion somewhat in the future and that's on my list of necessary parts.

Tolga ULGUR Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 First step; Old Hasegawa s fuselage halves have raised panel lines. ( But the new mold wings have engraved panel lines, that s why I called it "hybrid") By using scriber , most of the panel lines became engraved.

dennismcc Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 That a very neat job on the armour Dennis Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Some progress in the cockpit I have used Quickboost seat. And some addition from Barracudacast cockpit set. (Due to period of this bird most of the Barracudacast components are not used) And finally I have added early style undercarriage control lever from "Grey Matter figures".
