I'm liking this build a LOT!  That IP is so nice, who needs those fancy pre-colored ones?

Oh wait, I do, since my painting skills suck.  Embarrassed

Hi, Ernie -

What a good job you're making of this one, the interior is extremely well done. I'm looking forward to seeing this one proceed down the assembly line. Thanks for the informative post and photos.

This is a beautiful kit but it has some VERY nasty wing root gaps specially near the rear of the wings that were filled with PPP and the larger gaps with stretched sprue. 

The rest of the kit is fitting together really well. I also got all the greenhouse masking done so the painting is very close. Wanted to wire up the engine but the plastic is so darn hard that 3 of my miniature drill bits broke so I gave up. It will be very hard to see anyway after the cowl covers things up.

Hi! 

 Great Job, Nice looking War weary Bird. The Office is Incredible. Is that, besides the wires all kit stuff? If so you are hired! I will send you some cockpits soon, LOL.LOL.

 

Hey thanks TB. They are discarded electrical wires that I grab now and then from the trash. My son says I look like a homeless guy picking thru the trash lol but some stuff like computers have some interesting wires inside. Space was tight in there so I only fit a couple of wires.

Looks awesome.  When you paint and detail on the sprue doesn't it leave an impression in the plastic when removed?  I'm referring to the IP picture.  The sprue makes a perfect handle but I hate going back and touching up those points.  How do you handle this?

 

 

 

Thanks. In this case all the edges will not be seen once installed. I try to leave the sprue handle in an edge that won’t be seen otherwise I cut off the sprue piece with an UMM razor saw that is paper thin, leaving an almost perfect cut, then touch up the area.

 

 

 

Roger that.  Thanks.

Aggieman

That's a good looking office.

 

Thanks Aggie. I closed up the fuselage and some details are hard to see now. The greenhouse canopy will further restrict view but at least it can be assembled in opened position.

Doing this one for the Japanese GB. Nice kit having great detail specially the pit. I added pe seat belts and wires for added detail.

IP after careful painting. Clear parts cement was used for the instrument glass.
