LSP_Paul Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Karl, I just PM'd Harold about the radar pod and pointed him at your thread. I'm sure he'll do what he can do to help,hes da best. You may have to modify the pod he makes as it's for the early WWII corsair night fighters. blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 cant seem to find the AMS resin radome... thanx Kev I have made a radome for the Tamiya kit, It fits like a glove to the curvature of the wings for that kit, but I don't know how it would fit on the Trumpy kit. I can cast one for you if you want to try it out. I have never offered the set for retail, only to LSPers for now.

blackbetty Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) the cowl is next. first i filled the chin scoop, as the -5 didnt have one, then drilled out the inner resin and ground it down as thin as i dared to be able to tweak it for a good fit. the cowl is a little too big, but the sides can be cut off and relocated, the sanded down on the sides 06 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited December 14, 2017 by blackbetty LSP_Paul, Harold, BradG and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
