Kruaxi's British pride

[JohnRatzenberger]

I completely forgot to post this -- it's my review of that kit, FWIW.

Re-reading it, I had a problem getting the cockpit into the fuselage because there was no positive locator of it so it became a fight to get the nose gear well on one end and the seat back on the diagonally opposite end to sit and stay in place. Once done, the fuselage closed up OK.

I put in a forced place 'cause wheel bay... Thanks for your effort, you're gentle, as usual.
Mr. Merlin, i don't believe mine will be better than yours, to be honest. Your G.40 is very good !

Tonite, finished sanding phase One: next step tomorrow

Your finished cockpit insert is a thing of beauty.

A putty's extravaganza...

Nice job so far, that cockpit interior looks really nice. Good luck with the sanding!

P.S. - I never liked Marlboros, found the taste a bit strong for me!

[kruaxi]

Thanks.

Must sand rudder...

Finished the building... then gave a coat of grey primer Alclad, on this gave Alclad's alluminium.



The slot after cockpit is because the great double hatches on engine bay

Now needs decals (just two little decals) and an oil wash



Ah... a test pilot, also...

[ShaunW]

Nice one. The test pilot looks like he's got his arm around a tasty young lady
