Tolga ULGUR Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) Hi Guys, Something must have bitten me because as if the crowd on my bench wasn't enough, this one also added to work in progress. I'm thinking of consulting my doctor May be a kind of year-end madness triggered with global warming . This will be finished as a D30 "Duck Butt" like on boxart.

Biggles87 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I’m in. I like the idea of the Quickboost engine, the last time I built up a P&W 2800 it took so long that I had lost interest by the time it was finished.

quang Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Haha! You’re not the only one who gets bitten by the JUG BUG. I’ll be doing Fred Christensen’s D-25 Rozzie Geth II … in 1/48. I know, I know… Cheers, Q mywifehatesmodels, Martinnfb, chaos07 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Looking forward to your build, Tolga. But now I may need to pull out my Montex Fw conversion to keep up with you! John Martinnfb and Tolga ULGUR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thanks John Yes, I will use the front part of the quickboost set with the correct magnetos from Trumpeter as on my previous Hasegawa P-47 projects Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered a Quinta cockpit set, mainly for the placards, but the engine will be another story. I would also like to build a Trumpeter Razorback soon and would likely use some of the engine parts, as you've shown. I may have to make resin copies, but I need to get the kit, first. It's the one thing on my Christmas list. My family is WELL aware. We'll see what happens. John Tolga ULGUR and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably in the new year. Good luck with your P-47 project and your christmas gift Martinnfb, chaos07 and mywifehatesmodels 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 Some progress Aires cockpit parts painted. Aires set has early style rudder pedals. ( If I am not mistaken MDC has both of them) So it needs to be upgraded. I used Trumpy Razorback pedal parts for my D30. It worked with small surgery touches. The funny thing is that the pedals in the Trumpy Razorback kit are also wrong for the Razorback. They also need to be backdated. Ahh mortal world !!

Juggernut Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Hi there Tolga, great choice and I'm following along as well. Quick question: Where did you happen to find a B series crankcase with the GE magnetos? Is that a Hasegawa sprue or did that come from a Trumpeter kit or somewhere else perhaps?
