wdedig Posted June 27, 2018 Report Posted June 27, 2018 I wanted a little bit of a challenge after a Tamiya 1/72nd P-51 I got exactly what I asked for. Challenges Vallejo Olive Drab and Tamiya rattle-can Camel Yellow colors were the only simple items. The basic parts all had flash,All need some sort of work Struts needed trimming and pins inserted for support. Landing Gear parts were all needing trimmed and adjusted and I think I still missed the mark. Rigging was all steel wire to simulate the metal braces I will say the resin engine cylinders needed minimal cutting. I did add Albion tubing and copper plug wires Tons of stuff but just posted Final results Cheers Bill
ghodges Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 Despite any challenges, your build looks the part! I've built the F4B4, which is essentially the same kit and had pretty much the same experiences you did. It may be a lot harder to build than the old Aurora/Entex 1/48 kit, but the detailing inside and out is much more to scale. Your skills conquered all in the end. Congrats, and thanks for sharing! GIL
Mark Deliduka Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I'd say that you mastered the difficulties exceptionally well. That is a stunning looking bird. Congrats on bringing this to such a high level of mastery.

Dick Montgomery Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 That's a great job on the rigging and turnbuckles.
