Dakimbrell Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Got the kit on March 27 and started it immediately. No engine or gun bays, but a very detailed cockpit. Lots of decal instruments and plaques. The seatbelts I used are from Eduard, but they include one seat with the belts molded in place. No photo-etch in the kit. Fit is very good, and the instructions are VERY similar to the WNW instructions. There is even some rigging in the cockpit. Mine will be DW-K in a diorama. I'll send my article on it to the Journal in a couple weeks. BTW, in the course of picking figures, I found the "Eddie" figure in the Revell Iron Maiden kit is actually the same figure in an ICM set, except for the head.

ghodges Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Wow! The detailing in that cockpit is astounding! Looking forward to seeing this one finished out. Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakimbrell Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 from what I found molded into some of the parts, I suspect they plan on issuing several other Marks. A MkII and a MkV. Dak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakimbrell Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 For those looking for a good making material, I recommend children's modeling clay. It doesn't sink into things the way Silly Putty does. Dak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Looks like a viable alternative.... but does it leave any residue, and how easy is it to remove? Also, once it has paint mixed into it, can it be used again? Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakimbrell Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 No, no residue to speak of. I had a tiny bit get caught in a seam but was easy to remove. It doesn’t stick hard unless you press it down real hard. The first time I saw it done was 1969. But haven’t had any around in years and had to go find it.
