As I was at a loose end this morning and needed something to do while I was waiting to get to the shop for the paint for the Sea Fury I thought I'd make a start on this.![]() I was going to leave the Mustang to Mosquito but he seems to still be questing for the lost mojo. ![]() Hope to start glueing soon. :D |

Not quite. My Daughter is home from Uni this weekend and she got me Iron Man 3 for my birthday...it seemed only polite to sit and watch it. :lol: |

I'm making the same kit, but will be using FF-736 from the Italeri decals. Have you decided what prop blades are the right ones for the Yank bird? Cuffed or paddle type? Alan PS The Iron Man films are ace.

Not yet. That's always the last thing I put on so I've got plenty of time yet. :D |

A bit of progress over the weekend.![]() Sadly, the fight to get the wing in place (a very snug fit :D ) caused the fuselage sides to have a bit of a falling out. A tube or two of filler should sort it.

As we are building the same a/c just in slightly different liveries, I'm looking forward to seeing the paint and decals mate.

The silver went on this morning.![]() I have a slight problem with a bent undercarriage leg, this could prove to be a little interesting. :D

That U/C bend shouldn't be too difficult to straighten without breaking, if it does drill into both pieces and insert a dressmaker's pin or a length of stiff wire. |
