Funny about your former project to turn a tempest into a typhoon... I made the exact opposite thing a few years back Yes I just had a look at that build , you are clearly insane even to have started ......let alone produced such a nice Tempest from all that work . I baulked at putting the cockpit and undercarriage from this tempest in a typhoon , sure wouldn't be building my own thick Typhoon wings from the Tempest kit . Bravo Sir !!!

Loic Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Hi, cockpit looks great If you liked the Tempest project, you may want to have a look at the Kate thread in the aircraft carrier GB of the same period Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerwomble Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Ok I know is a re pop of a short run kit . For me , maybe used to more modern tooling , it feels more like a 1980's Italeri or Academy kit in terms of engineering finesse . Yes the cockpit is very detailed , great .... the surface detail is not really stand out -if it were my predilection I'd probably rescribe for some better detail ...and the fit of the parts ....not ok . I've had to use CA and zipkicker to keep parts in play. The nose was slightly warped - got the halves to match and it's then 4mm too narrow , so put a stretcher in here to help . Side issues fixed it's now higher at the join as well . All of this is fixable none of it should be on a £50 model , and all of this is down to poor moulding or poor CAD.

Panzerwomble Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Fuse went together ok....ended up opting for a poor seam underside which was rectified using black CA which gap fills nicely and sands fine Edited September 23, 2023 by Panzerwomble R Palimaka, BradG, Landrotten Highlander and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Wing fit ....wheel wells didn't fit easily ....need a lot of bodging to get the upper to sit still . This thing is fighting me all the way . Opted to fit lower wing to fuse first as the fit is really snug on mine and think I 'll get more presentable alignment doing the wing seperately in pieces rather than as one big "it fits or not" join . Black CA again , filling , strengthening. Landrotten Highlander, Loic, Fanes and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerwomble Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 It's now one big chunk ...I don't know if it's me or the model but just not enjoying this one at all . I'll finish it for the GB ...but if it weren't in the GB I'd be SODing . To be fair, stuff I've filled and sanded doesn't look too bad .....it's more the fact I'm having to do it at all on a 5 year old tooled model ....as you can see plenty more to do . I'm thinking now the old 1978 tool Revell Typhoon might not be so bad after all . Whine whine whine etc .....
