#^%* BATMAN, does the problem extend that far back on the nose section
or just the radome? Now you have me wondering. I'll have to go check
my Revell kit to see if if the nose section is off.
If it is just the radome than plastic stock should work on getting
the correct shape. You have more dedication than I have. I would have
given up a long time ago.
I haven't done much work on my build the last couple of days. Yard
work has a higher priority right now or I will have a jungle to clear if
I don't keep up with it.
I did find out the AM ejection seats will not fit the AM cockpit from
Black Box (AKA Combat Series). They are too wide and I would have to
sand down the sides to get them to fit. That would destroy a lot of
detail if I did that. I don't like the set that came with the cockpit
set because it has the seat belts and shoulder harness molded in to the
seats and they are all wrong. I would destroy too much of the detail if
I shaved them off and went with AM belts. I am going to use the kit
supplied seats and detail them. At least they will fit the resin tub.
