SkyhikerFor a relatively new kit I am surprised on how much flash and fitting issues this kit has.
2 August, 04:46
SkyhikerIt's really hard for me to fight off the urge to correct the structural issues with this kit. But I promised myself I would make this one out of the box.
2 August, 11:32
Patrick HagelsteinI've seen that promise before Skyhiker! 😂 Good luck keeping this one OOB! 😉👍🏼

Sergio OrdonezMate, I think you should put the windshield uspside down. The ángel does not cope with the real one as I see on photographs.
2 August, 20:52
SkyhikerUnfortunately it looks even worse the other way around. The idiot engineers at Revell should be fired.
2 August, 21:04
Sergio OrdonezWell, I had some work with French engineers and I know shit happens. Could you take a photo with this one in the other position?
2 August, 21:09
Sergio Ordonezdrive.google.com/fil..J9/view?usp=drivesdk
The windshield is not an isoscelles triangle so the windshield has not a 45 degree ángel over the capot. Please, see these example of a TA-152 (and please, mind It is 35 years old and I was only 13 when I drestroyed It).
I think an easy solution can be made. I do not want any mate to be anoyed by an engineering issue. I had them everyday (it's my job, Factory engineering problem solving, known as 'shit managing") and It can destroy your mojo.
2 August, 21:23
SkyhikerAfter several hours of sculpting I got the canopy to fit better. I will continue with it tomorrow.
3 August, 02:12
Sergio OrdonezYour mojo works, mate! Now you have became a great problem solver!
On the other hand, I think another 3D engineering guy needs to stop drinking and 20 years of 2D drafting. The fitting is worse than I could imagine. But I see is no a problem for a seasoned mate like you. Great work, mate!
3 August, 05:17
NicolasFollowing. I build this kit several times in older versions. The fit of the canopy is realy sh*t. My solution was (with about 10 years) to sand the backside of the windshild till it fitted. Of corse so most of the frame is missing.
3 August, 05:31
Thomas KolbWhat a struggle! It reminds me of some Heller and Amodel kits. But it looks that you manage to coax it into shape!
3 August, 07:11
SkyhikerSergio the TA 152 had a very different canopy than the 190. The 152 was designed for high altitude flying, was pressurized and had double panes.
4 August, 10:03
Sergio OrdonezThanks you, Skyhiker: I think I can remember now, as I researched about FW190 and TA152 black in the 90's. Also, canopy is bubble-shapped. Sorry, my FW190 Mustang have been gone forever, I expent the night trying to find It, just to find my solution, but I think only the reta of the TA152 has survived.
4 August, 14:05
Mr DYou done a better job of the seat belts than l did 🤣. The cockpit glass on my model was not very clear!
Looking good, ... Thanks for uploading 👍👍👍
11 August, 15:13
SkyhikerMr D did you also have so much trouble with the canopy? I read in the kit review at the bottom of the page that it was bad. I really wish the reviews would be moved up because I always forget about them. It took me quite a while to get the canopy to work. It needed a lot of reshaping to look right.
11 August, 17:40
SkyhikerI decided to make my own blueprint for this plane. So, that's taking up a lot of my time at the moment.
11 August, 17:42
Mr DHi, yes l had trouble too, l did a dry fit before paint, and l had to take a combination off the glass n some off fuselage, and had to use a bit of UV clear resin.
I got it to fit in the end, but it's not very clear to see through.
I had a bit missing of my engine fan too, had to make it up with super glue gell.
11 August, 17:48
Alexander GrivonevBuilt one too back in the day, the nightfighter version. Speaking of the canopy, I like how the rear part of it is just molded to the fuselage 😄. Used some other canopy I found in my spares because the one from the kit was entirely unusable.
10 October, 16:19
Mr DLooking good 👍👍
It's a nice model when it's finished once you sort the shortcomings out.
I did get my prop to spin in the end....had to do alot of work to the cooling fan to make it run smoothly.
Good luck on next steps 😃👍
10 October, 19:29
SkyhikerIf I had thought it would have been a problem I would have dry fitted everything first. But I wanted to keep the parts on the sprue for painting. It wasn't worth messing up the paint job just to get the propeller to spin. Especially since the contact points were so fragile. So in the end I glued it together so it will be stable.
10 October, 22:56
Mr DNicely done.....looks good now 👌👍👍
You managed to get a correct decal for the tail.... Better.
You got it very close to box art.
21 October, 23:02
Mr DOn the fiddly bits... Did you decide to make your own part for that Whip shaped thingy🤣 don't know what it actually is 🫣.... ?
Quite a few little fragile bits on the bottom... I was extremely cutting n sanding these.
Like the way the guns are visible through wheel well's👍
27 October, 19:30
SkyhikerMr D, the Morane antenna I built by filing down a wooden toothpick and super gluing a hog's hair on to it that I got from a cheap brush. The kit part was ridiculously out of scale. I use this hog's hair method for whip antennas and static dischargers because the hair is flexible enough that it won't break off.
27 October, 19:35
Mr DAHH thanks it's Antenna 👍 be better with bit of flexibility... looks more accurate to photos as well.
I noticed HB do a Ta-152 kit....looks quite good for price.. bit of PE in kit.
I was tempted.....but promised myself l will build one buy one 🙄🤣.
27 October, 19:46
SkyhikerLol. I promised myself the same thing and the next week someone offered me their entire stash of 45 kits for super cheap, which I bought immediately.

Ogre-TromboneI found some time to work on these kits, so here are some new photos. Thanks for following!
22 September, 07:31
NicolasThe instruction isn't mentioning the stand at all. As the torpedo is under the COG I would try to fix it to the torpedo.
Very nice progres so far. 👍
22 September, 07:39
Ogre-TromboneLeaning that way, Nicolas. I don't like it, but that's probably what I'll need to do.
22 September, 19:09
Mr DNice model 👌
Was the Devastator similar to the Dauntless??
Like the subject....will be watching 😃👍
22 September, 19:25
Ogre-Trombone@Mr D, the Devastator was a pre-War torpedo bomber that was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time. Unfortunately. it was already obsolete at the start of the war. It was slow and underpowered, and early-War tactics left its crews extremely vulnerable.
24 September, 13:49
SkyhikerThe Douglas TBD Devastator, was the U.S. Navy's main torpedo bomber. It was introduced in 1935, but was obsolete by 1939. They were replaced with the Grumman TBF Avenger.
24 September, 16:09
Mr DThanks for the info
Ogre & Skyhiker 👍👍
I didn't know much about them, the pre-war yellow wings are smart scheme 👌
24 September, 19:20
Mr DBoth coming along really nicely now, the flap lines look a lot better now.
Looking like all the build updates.
Good luck with next steps 👌😁👍👍
30 September, 16:33
Ogre-TromboneThanks, Mr D. I'm trying not to let the asymmetry bother me on the black-primed model. I wish I'd made a template or measured them instead of trying to follow the old panel lines. Still, I'm glad I made the effort.
Pure improvisation, Casey! It seems to be holding up so far. I want to do open or partially-opened canopies, so it didn't make sense to glue them in place, which is what I usually would have done.
30 September, 17:27
Ogre-TromboneIt's very hot and dry where I am right now, and the paint isn't responding the way I'd like. I'll have to come back when conditions are better.
3 October, 03:32
Mr DLooks good 👌
Nice colours, the wing surface doesn't look to easy to mask.
Coming along nicely 👍👍
5 October, 21:42
SkyhikerI'm impressed on how well you work even with those raised elements. They look fantastic.
11 October, 16:10
Ogre-TromboneI've been using Microsol, Tamiya Mark Fit and Mark Fit strong in a makeshift rotation to get the roundels to settle in. My patience is generally being rewarded, but every time I reapply the old bubbles settle down but new ones seem to appear. Does anyone know if this is caused by a chemical reaction? They are settling in, eventually, but I suspect the solutions are both working and making more work for me at the same time.
16 October, 14:15
Ogre-TromboneAside from a few finishing touches, like adding antenna wires and mounting them on their stands, these builds are finished. When I came back to the hobby a few years ago, these Devastator kits were among the first I bought. I have very fond memories of building the classic 1/48 Monogram kit, and I've always loved this airplane. I'm very happy with how they've turned out. I'll post some better photos later this week. Thanks for following!
30 October, 03:47
Haro RotlWhat works for me with stubborn decals is a mixture of softener and decal glue. I apply softener on a piece of decal cutting (usually thrown away, but the water-soluble glue is on the entire sheet), stir the brush a bit, and then apply the mixture to the stubborn spots of the decal, having cut the bubble with a sharp blade before. Doesn't always work the first time, but work it does. (Decal glue is also separately available from Tamiya, I use that now.)
30 October, 06:06
Haro RotlThis is a fascinating album, and a great result to your efforts!
I built the Airfix Devastator as one of my very first kits (i.e. some 50 years ago), but haven't had the heart to start another one since. Great to watch these grow, and the result!
30 October, 06:23
Ogre-TromboneThanks, Haro. That's a good tip. I tried Micro Set decal fixing solution, but I honestly think it's just a more dilluted version of Micro Sol and not really an adhesive. I'll try that next time.
30 October, 13:39
Mr DThey turned out great 👌 l like the peace time yellow colored one, they are both great, canopy's are done well.
Enjoy watching build 😁👍
30 October, 21:54
Casey BeckettGreat work! That old airfix CAN be brought to a nice build. You've inspired me to do another.

Fit is not spectacular :-/ Clear parts don't fit well. Lot of room for detailing (but I'm not that kind of modeller). All by all, fun to build.
