MikeMaben Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Yep, it was '69, along with the Wildcat, P-47 bubble and the Stuka, the first Revell 1/32 series started in '67 with the Spitfire, Bf109F and P-40. The Zero was '66. Javlin1 and MARU5137 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 (edited) An update. Working on all the interior assemblies, getting them to fit in the fuselage and be able to close it up. I still need to work in the tail wheel. I had purchased a set of AM wheels and the AM tail wheel doesn't look good on the tail gear with the way the kit part is made. I'm mulling over creating a new tail gear using brass tube and wire. Should be interesting. The left side console is a bit mangled. While filing along the plastic edge below it, the file slipped and beat the crap out of it. The elevator trim control is somewhere in the carpet. I'm not really happy with its present appearance so I think I'll work on it too. I've also managed to tear off one of the throttle quadrant controls and lost it too.

Still trying to figure out what to do for the gun sight that got ate by the carpet monster... Edited June 15 by Ayovan MARU5137 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Well, everything is in it, time to carefully close it up. Javlin1, Fanes, daveculp and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Another update, the fuselage is closed up and the wings are together. The fit of the wings to the fuselage seems like it's pretty good and won't require too much putty. Thanks again Rick Griewski for the AM propeller blades! They look so much better! There's a tiny bit of putty work at the nose to do and a coat of primer to see what else shows up.

denders Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 It's getting there Maru. I'm trying out some of Woody's Dzus fasteners on the fuselage. They go on easy. The only concern at the moment is whether one sheet is enough. Dave Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayovan Posted yesterday at 03:07 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:07 AM Dave, I know my eyes aint what they used to be, but isn't the oil cooler vent open on the wrong side? dennismcc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Hmmm, that's what the Eduard instructions show. I've had a hard time finding photos with it open. This is from an old Detail and Scale #50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
