David Osbaldeston Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I'll be building this out of the box with the landing gear up as when they are finished they will be on display on the stand (hopfuly in an attack position)/media/tinymce_upload/8646ab92c6d1c7cdf35033c03d758836.JPG
David Osbaldeston Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 Sorry it's taken me so long to update my post but I've had some problems with my other model I'm building. Anyway here's the progress so far.This problem occured when joining the fuselage together./media/tinymce_upload/d44e608db5a277119fc1b45749cd4495.JPGLooks like this mission is going without the co-pilot./media/tinymce_upload/3b29894072c541993087d1f256c2f8ba.JPGUnless anyone has any suggestions??
iloveairfix Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 have you tried triming the sides of the cockpit and triming the copilots arms (without making him look disfigured)
David Osbaldeston Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 have you tried triming the sides of the cockpit and triming the copilots arms (without making him look disfigured)thanks for the advice I'll give it a try when I get time to return to it and post the results.
nmcabecadas Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I just trim the figures, not the cockpit, but already had to replace pilots figures to assure they fit. There are pilots figures made smaller or thinner to fit smaller cockipts. Revell did it in the Pilots and Ground Crew: German Airforce WWII, supplying 4 pilots (2 poses) much smaller than others.
David Osbaldeston Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks for the advice. The way I did it was quite radical. Firstly I removed the arm!!!/media/tinymce_upload/5a1ae37858a3071fbc70e9c44f93d5eb.JPGand attatched it in a different position /media/tinymce_upload/3e3e05400ef4afbeeff0f5e17cd526cc.JPGwith a bit of filler and paint it looks almost like nothing is wrong/media/tinymce_upload/249ae99490921c68f1d511adf780b8e8.JPGunfortunately he still didn't fit so I had to shave a bit off the other arm/media/tinymce_upload/09905e29630575e1686ee3de7e4960a6.JPGnow he fits. So the co-pilot goes on this mission./media/tinymce_upload/32f947578839fffafbd7025359ce3b09.JPG
