blackbetty Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 i assembled the italeri pit and front gearbay parts and shoehorned the assembly into the fuselage from the front there will be adjustments made, so the rear firewall fits better LSP_Kevin, Azgaron, themongoose and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 for both the front fuselage has to be widened. i am not yet sure if i will do that on the top or the bottom, i have to fit the new windscreen first see the step here to the old revell fuselage, since the noses are designed for the italeri kit Martinnfb, denders, geedubelyer and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Hi For my part, I would do the "surgery" on the bottom,......... to be honest, I would catch up the fuselage/ nose profile with putty, it seems that there is barely 1mm (more or less) between the fuselage and the nose.. I use for this kind of work, putty for body car repair (finishing putty) easy to sand down, can be engraved, it's a bi -component, putty + hardener ... it could be worth considering Alain Edited March 16 by alain11 blackbetty and Alain Gadbois 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 thanx guys i use car putty very often here it depends on the windshield of the italeri kit where i will widen the fuselage Alain Gadbois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 i cut out the fusekage to fit the italeri windshield next.the clearparts are pretty different between the two kit, also the position in notvthe same. i consulted some drawings i had of the mirage, but that only gave my a third position i decided to modify the fuselage for the italeri clear parts, as they are mich nicer (thanx again Alain) and not so sqashed chrish, Azgaron, BradG and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 it not as easy as it looked before to combine the pit with the fuselage. i used the sidewalls for a proper positioning of the tub there will be a host of modifications to get this to work Azgaron, BradG, Alain Gadbois and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 inbetween drying of the pit parts, i used the petals that Alain sent me with modified innards of the Zipper engine (i used a resin engine there) to get something to remotely render the Atar 9C alain11, LSP_Kevin, denders and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
