    Special Hobby 1/72 D558-I

    Thanks, Chris. As a limited run it wasn't too bad, way better than AModel kits I've built.

    Hasegawa 1/48 A6M2-N Rufe

    This one is nearly done as I build my way through all of Jiro Horikoshi's designs. Everything fits well in the end but there were some doubts along the way. You have to hold your mouth right and squeeze the plastic in the right place at several points during construction. The decals were a...

    Special Hobby 1/72 D558-I

    This one is a wrap, sorry I haven't been doing more reports but Eatonville has been pretty busy lately, including on the bench where several other models are in progress. All the main gear doors are photoetch on this one, and they are rather weird on the real thing, with one door covering most...

    E-Type jag, Scale = big.

    I stand corrected on the regulator! Here is a parts breakdown for the hood, parts 4 and 14 seal off the wheel wells.

    E-Type jag, Scale = big.

    The battery was fully enclosed by the angled panel in the picture Paddy posted and by a panel in the hood that came down to seal against it. No weather got to that area from the wheel well.

    Cruising along here. I shoved and hauled and believe or not all those interior pieces fit inside. It called for 6 grams of weight under the cockpit and I stuffed as much liquid gravity in there as I could and I think it will not be a tail sitter. Had to squeeze pretty hard on the fuselage to...

    E-Type jag, Scale = big.

    That's not a voltage regulator, it's a 4TR relay, or at least it was on mine. But being a 65 model it had an alternator, not a dynamo. And now I am bothered because I can't remember how the brake hoses were routed.

    So many stories in that scene, and each photo tells another version. Thanks.

    Here we go, the instrument panel is a plastic/film/pe sandwich, ready to install, with a few other internal bits started. The control pedestal with a pe bowtie for the yoke is also stuck together. I like to put the horizontal stabilizers on before joining the fuselage sides, it's easier for me...

    Anigrand 1/72 McDonnell P-67B Moonbat "Virgin Widow II"

    Wipe it down with acetone and then an acrylic primer?

    Well, Gee Bees do sort of have a history of giving their owners grief....
