Seversky P-35A USAAC build
1
May 11, 2020I realized only too late that the rear compartment should look like this on P-35As, which are Swedish P-35 that were requisitioned, and essentially not modified.2
May 11, 2020The same seating arrangement is visible on this Swidish P-36.3
May 11, 2020The preserved Swedish P-36 was eventually modified to receive cameras pointing sideways and down.
The rear of the pilot's seat is visible.4

May 11, 2020Besides its poor fit and wrong conception (no rear seat, no back wall), the Little Fokker resin cockpit needs a fair bit of detail added... Not an essential addition to the kit, in the end !6
May 11, 2020Reheat photo etch and other details needed !7

May 11, 2020The resin needs help here too...10
May 11, 2020Getting there slowly...11
May 11, 2020Better when it's together and busy.12

May 11, 2020Hard paper and super glue to make the wheel wells walls !17
May 11, 2020Fit of the cockpit is poor indeed... A lot of Evergreen strips are needed to fill those very visible gaps.18
May 11, 2020I like to use 'flash' to fill in those long gaps... Am I the only one to like flash ? 😉

May 11, 2020More wheel well detail... A weak point of the Hobbycraft kit, for sure !20
May 11, 2020The front air scoop should jut over a bit of the engine cowling.21
May 11, 2020The kit engine with details added. The color in the picture is bluer than in reality.22
May 11, 202023
May 11, 2020On the left, the corrected and thinned out wheel cover.24
May 11, 2020Front and back of the wheel covers, thinned out from the inside too.25
May 11, 2020And shaped with the poper bevel.26
May 11, 2020The walls in the rear part of the wheel wells, including the small side part.27
May 11, 2020I could have corrected the shape of the protrusion behind the lower scoop but decided to leave it as it is. Enough very visible work is needed elsewhere.28
May 11, 2020That long scoop needs attention to fit somewhat poperly.29
May 11, 2020HC did not place the landing gear legs in the right place. They need to be moved forward, and the original holes plugged.30
May 11, 2020The rolll-over protection needs to be redone, since it's such a visible part.31
May 11, 202032
May 11, 2020And the armored plate added to it.33
May 11, 202034
May 11, 202035
May 11, 2020The landing gear is nearly finished. The retracting arms go inside the wing, with an actuating mechanism between them, often hidden by a cloth cover.36
May 11, 2020I added a small bumper where the leg touches the wing. Wheel well detail and walls are visible here.37
May 11, 2020The landing gear leg is 'articulated' around a piece of Evergreen rod.38
May 11, 2020The near-final front, with modified/improved propeller hub, cowl guns, top air scoop and gunsight.
