jenshb Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 A quick question - will the Iconicair cowling and spinner fit the Tamiya fuselage for width and height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hey Jen, It fits, but around the external line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 If I had to, I would cut the top cowl in two down it's center, remove required amount, and glue it back together. Scotsman and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenshb Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Thanks for that Shogun. That definitely won't fit the Tamiya kit then without a lot of chopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 After Cleaning up the inside a little, we can see what the side panel looks like.......The idea is to get what looks like TWO side panels, scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander, MikeMaben and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hi. Good project. Mine is stalled because of a lack of info regarding the LG wells. The Greymatter nose does not mate the Revell fuselage as the cross sections are noticeably different. It was actually done for the Hasegawa kit. The Iconicair one is a far better option. I'm also hoping your Mastercasters resin pit is not underscaled as all the sets I saw were too small! I had to use plastic shims everywhere to use it. And finally tons of elements have still to be added. Indeed if there were not many differences between a Mk.IX and a Mk.24 cockpit, the FR47 was far more crowded. I should go back to that one!

Shogun Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Hello there thierry! A little from this, something from that, and a bit from the other. I'm going to use the Mk.24 to fill in the gaps, like the gear bay detail. The wing of the Mk.24 and the Fr.47 look the same from the outside, except for the wing fold. My guess is they didn't change the internal structure all that much. Anyway, as the pilot in the movie The Battle Of Britain said, "Get that bowser out of here, We'll go with what we got!
