Kittyhawk A/T 28 B/D Trojan finished, addendum

Great work mate, I will add you to the gallery.

Awesome man! The tri-color does look really nice on the Trojan. The prop hub shaft is a bit long, but that's an issue with the kit itself and takes away nothing from a stellar build. Great work!

you’re right!
I was aware of that problem but forgot to correct it. It is notable on the build and kind of robbing from the lines a bit and may be worth revisiting to try to correct

Great looking model.

I'm back....

so knowing about the prop shaft length and having not dealt with it (because I forgot to earlier) I popped the prop out of the engine chucked the hub in my Dremel (oddly a perfect fit) and turned it down to the diameter that fits into the engine front, then cut off some length and refitted it to the engine. Now looking better.

 

 

Hopefully that's all I need to amend.

Thanks for bearing with me.

Thanks for looking/ commenting. I can't take much credit for the instrument panels, all I did was paint the pe. front face and add some white/ blue background behind the film.

As of quitting time tonight, I have glued in the cockpit, wheel bays, engine and closed up the fuselage the seams have been cleaned up as well. 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking

Reviving an old thread - Chrish, if you happen to remember - how did you glue the Aires cockpit tub into the fuselage?   I'm using this set but there doesn't appear to be many position contact points to ensure the tub is fitted correctly.  Nice work on this kit by the way, your build turned out awesome.
