I'm in the same boat, no images. (Would love to see them though!)

 

OK, I tried something else, please let me know if this worked.  Bang Head

Thanks,

I can't see the images... just a circle with a white bar for each one

 

 

 
I can't see the images either.  I don't even get the circle with the white bar.
 

I think I have that fixed now.  Not sure what happened there.

Wildcat? Maybe. Corsair? Definitely!

I also can not see the images.

I like it!  If your frustrated with these vintage kits, maybe buy a newer Tamiya kit as a confidence builder.  They go together without much fuss.

 

Thank you!  More frustrated with myself than with the kit, but I am learning with each build, and I am actually feeling encouraged.  Next kit has an actual engine and some cockpit detail, so that will be new.  Thanks for the encouragement.  Hmm....a Tamiya model.  Well, I don't have a Wildcat.  Every collection should have a Wildcat, right?  Big Smile

Seems like I have been working on this forever.  I am calling this done.  I stalled for a long time worrying about getting the correct degree cant to the landing gear.  In the end, I still didn't get it right.  This is my second aircraft completion, and is much better than the first, although I made numerous mistakes.  I kept hearing about how important dry fitting is, but putting this together brought that home.  I ended up with more than one step to deal with. 

Still, I am not unhappy with the final result.  The mottling and masking the yellow fuselage band went well.  I am encouarged to keep trying, and hopefully some of the lessons learned will stick.  On to the 1/48 Fujimi A6M2 Zero.  Another "vintage" kit.

So, here it is...

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.  Comments welcome.  I would like to get better.  The pic from above got some reflection.  That is not a crack in the canopy.

PS  I used my Iphone with Google Photos to post.  Pretty easy overall.  And free.
