Kingfisher on wheels, Vought OS2U, yet another mini- groupbuild !
Testfitting the gunner‘s tub
Some more work required here
Internal rib structure added
Something like this
Ready for interior green..
Cockpits almost finished
Continuing to work on the cockpits, fit isn’t that good, styrene filling is needed. The molded on hoistsling was lost in the fitting and sanding process, so I had to replace it.
Fit on the gunner‘s tub needs some care too
Cutting Edge resin cowling is everything but cutting edge, it looks as if it was made of an old bubblegum, un- useable !
Monogram Kit Cowlflapring reinforced with copper wire
Maybe I can depict the cowlflaps open by carefully sawing them one by one and bending them outward……?
Engine ready for some more paint
The leading edge of the flaps had these „air-channels“ tucked under the trailinig edge of the wing.
So I tried to replicate that like this
This is where it will have to go, so the trailing edges have to be thinned quite a bit,
let the milling begin !
