Troy Molitor Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I can only agree with the rest following this cracking build. Most impressive. chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Thanks folks!! I...having no shortage of insanity, have decided to add a bit of (not authentic) details to the cabin. I think this is going to all for the insides until I tackle the nose section (with all those windows in it) and add a bit of kabobs and doodads in there. The port side is basically done, although I think I may cut out the cabin door... Evergreen I beam and .010" square rod used for structure. added this picture but forgot to "set in place" the open box face for the spar; I guess I better finish the flooring as well...

As well, thanks to all the folks supporting my attempt at finishing this model. for the life of me I haven’t found another finished ID models 1/32 Hudson on the web…I know folks have started them but the threads just kind of peter out years ago. I’ll try to avoid that… KiwiZac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 I think I'm getting near the end of what I'll put in the cabin area, unless I see whats in the tail area I'll just close it off with a bulkhead (working on that in these pics) The kit comes with a clear nose section, I'm thinking I can get away with adding some panels on the walls, a seat and some framing may be sufficient up there?? I'll have to cut off the white plastic nose about 1/2 way back from the front. Anyway, here's where I'm at tonight. Tail wheel oleo/strut "borrowed" from my old "Charlie Brown shot to pieces B-17" project The piece of solder beside the fuselage is what I've been using as a profile maker Thanks for looking Boch, KiwiZac, easixpedro and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaro Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The interior framing is fantastic. What comes to mine mind in these situatiations: 'to paint or not to paint'? denders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
