Biggles87 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 That looks like a good fit, I put one in my Mustang 1A but had to sand the roof to wafer thin to get it in. John LSP_Kevin and Tolga ULGUR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John What you wrote encourages me to use the other set I have in the P-51A project. It is possible that I will bring this to my agenda as well.

Biggles87 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I’m pleased to hear it. I also used the Vector cockpit on my -1A, it’s beautifully detailed and fitted really well. John Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I left the wheel well as it was. Biggles87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 I started working on the fuselage. I made the exhaust slots more reasonable by using thin plastic sheet. I will use Aerocraft's exhausts instead of Trumpy's crappy ones mc65, phasephantomphixer, Azgaron and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Some progress I decided to build this model with the flaps down. However, this requires some modifications in the fuselage. I made these areas with plastic sheet and putty Fanes, monthebiff, LSP_Kevin and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Today's update: This is one of the most problematic parts of Trumpy's kit. As seen in the pictures, the area between the windows behind the cockpit is very wide. It is obvious that this is not the job of Trumpy's A team. Aerocraft released a clear resin kit a few years ago for this problem. It looks like it will work. The necessary parts of the fuselage were cut. Test fitting looks good. I keep moving forward, hoping I don't run into Murphy. Isar 30/07, mc65, Troy Molitor and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 A brave move with the flaps, and as Martin says you do make it look easy. John Tolga ULGUR and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Well done, Tolga! I'll have to get the Aerocraft piece for my own build. Kev Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
