ghodges Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Since I was already building 2 Texans, I decided to tackle my 1/48 BT-14 conversion at the same time. This is the Belcher Bits kit release that comes with the resin parts to back date the 1/48 Occidental T-6G plastic kit (included in the box) to the earlier fixed landing gear BT-14. The kit also includes a choice of 5 different markings. The resin parts are pictured here after there pour stubs were removed. The vac canopy I made myself since the kit pilot's sliding canopy section is too thick to fit down properly over the center fixed canopy section. This shows the work needed to convert the forward fuselage This shows the new resin center section for the Texan wings The resin forward fuselage fit well, but it took some trimming and fitting to get the wing to fit well to the fuselage The model was painted with Model Master Chrome Yellow and Bright Blue, glossed with Alclad Klear Gloss, and the sprayed with a home mixed Alclad semi-gloss to finish things up.
