Nagy-Meszler CsabaThe cockpit is very puritanical, but unfortunately there is not enough documentation on it. The fit of the parts is very poor and needs a lot of filling and sanding.

komorasMy biggest issue was fitting the seat and the mid portion of the wheel bay, had to add 1 mm plastic card on both sides. Looking forward seeing it done! 👍

Nagy-Meszler Csabakomoras, I encountered the same problem: the landing gear bay cannot be fitted where it is intended. I used a milling head to remove enough of it to fit.

gorbyInteresting aircraft, interesting build.
Incidentally, I would suggest 'Spartan' as a better way to describe the cockpit rather than 'puritanical'. 👍

Steven Van DyckThe project starts with a horror movie where one figure was shot in the back and had to receive a graft. Part of a Trumpeter deformity was transplanted and now he is recovering from his ordeal. The surgeon had to slash the inside with a bayonet and use a syringe full of acid to be able to beat the torso in a comfortable shape.

Steven Van DyckThe RSO engine appears to be very fiddly, I can't seem to get it lined out straight in the frame. Today I was able to attach the tracklink supports and cut the wood for the dio base.

Steven Van DyckThanks for the attention. I ordered a metal barrel, but too late I noticed it's 1/72. I immediately sent a mail to the store to switch this to 1/35, they still got a middle type. But I think the order was already dispatched.

Steven Van DyckThe interior of the cabin is upgraded with some Eduard PE and the cabin doors are also improved. This DML kit has the correct seats on the new sprue H, in stead of the M113 seats with the older Dragon RSO kits. The engine will be clearly visible. The Friulmodel tracklinks are drilled through to fit the track pins. The set also contains beautiful sprockets and idlers and even the axles to connect these to the undercarriage.

Steven Van DyckMy typical approach to Friulmodel track assembly, with a calibrated cutting device able to cut multiple threads at once. In comparison with the Dragon tracklinks these are hollowed out deeper and have a product code inscription. The downside to the easy cutting pins is that they all need a white metal plug on the bore hole.

John KauckThanks If you notice I did 2 of them, both of those in the b&w ref photo. I bought 2 from eBay intent to get one good model out of it, but both came complete, so I built those 2 since they are the same squadron but have different paint schemes. Thanks again.

Landlubber MikeThanks for following guys. Lochsa, you're right about the canopy. There are fit issues in general with this kit - most of which aren't too difficult to deal with - but the canopy is a bit of a mess. I'm not really looking forward to that part of the build.
25 February, 17:33
Landlubber MikeThanks guys! Transall, it seems a lot stronger than the kit parts which were made from pretty thin plastic.
24 August, 00:56
Landlubber MikeThank you Pietro! Still a long way to go. In the middle of priming the fuselage and having gap and other problems popping up. This is the build that never seems to end 🙁
