Glad to join the group B17 Pilot
Mhh it's too hard but i'll try .
I'm about finish my first four engine plane, the halifax from revell (the old matchbox not the new tool) for a friend and gain some experience to use on larger planes :)
As i have time to write will introduce all three kits with done work, here the first, the Do-24 from revell, a rebox of old italeri kit (lately italeri ennanched the moulds and put sales a new box!) wit gofty model cockpit set
Box'n'sprues
I'm not used to manage after market sets, i prefere to scratchbuild it and save money for more kits but all these three kits comes from a private sale at very low price
First mod was a cut on the upper fuselage doors and corrected their size, too narrow (the original door size is the one near the little windows.. to close!) , also glued all windows in reverse mode, windows turned and glued from the outside instead from inside (a trick recently learned)
The inner will be detailed with structures so i prepared a smooth surface and filled the floating gaps with plastic sheets and putty
Canopy top opened, will try to open all possible acces door, also the original top was partially wrong
Wings junction gaps was filled in some way
free from base the resin pieces with some unappropriated tool ,some unwished break too
Some dry fittings
After these works just glued the engine cowling toghether but no pictures :)
At the next!
