Revell VIIC pressure hull fit
Posted by Wilbur Wright on Friday, April 11, 2008 5:10 PM

Does anyone know if the yankee model works resin pressure hull will fit in this model after installing the cmk interior compartments?

I read a post some time back on the same subject and I don't believe the pressure hull will fit if using the interior sets.

As a matter of fact, it will fit. I've done it. BUT (and a really big but) you'll have to grind out a lot of the underside resin, on the tank tops. It'll end up about a <>1/8" thick. Then you'll have to grind down the compartment end bulkheads, flush with the compartment tops. It's time consuming and messy, but, IMHO, it's really worth it.

Thanks for the response. I figured it could be done with lots of work.

I have a decision to make, and if I do it  I'm sure I will ask for tips.

 

I'm use to time consuming and messy, unfortunately. 

 

Thanks again

Hey! If you want pictures, drop me an email. I'll send what I've got. It might make it easier to decide, if you know what you're up against.  Mkeatingss(at)cox.net
