Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Fuselage Closed Many thanks. Ok, a redo of sorts. I was not happy at all with the previous pictures. Part of this is I am working on my picture taking and trying to get good print level pictures. To that end here are a couple of others. These are marginally...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Fuselage Closed Just a quick update. All the components have been installed into the fuselage. And the fuselage has now been closed up. There were some issues with the fuselage seam. It was of my own making. There is just a few small items to finish off for...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Very Close Now fingers are crossed that it will all go together like it dry fit. Joe

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Very Close Back again and the interior is getting close. With a bit of fixing on the cockpit I was able to move on to working on the engine. Once the parts were cleaned up a bit I used Alclad Polished Aluminium, Gloss Grey, Gloss Black, and a wash of...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Finished An update. The cockpit is finished off. From the kit we have the floor, rear bulkhead, inner frame (where the seat rests), the control stick, and the instrument panel and frame. The seat is a resin cast of the seat out of the Hasegawa P-40E. All...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Part Three Another really quick update. The cockpit comes closer to being finished. Some detail painting as well as a pretty heavy handed wash with Acrylics. Other than the seat and headrest it is done. I am a bit put off by the seat though and will...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B The Beginning The prep work begins. The first step is to decide where to make the cuts. What do I want to show on this. i sat and stared at the kit for several hours over several days before I felt comfortable enough to mark out the sections with a sharpie. Next is...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Part One Just a brief update. Attention is now turned to the cockpit fully.  With most of the parts fabricated I can throw a bit of paint on and then some detail painting. Actually pretty happy with this but I do see some areas that will need a touch up...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part Three Many thanks all for looking in. MP I am using what I can find for pictures. Unfortunately what I am finding is not showing the radio in place. I have Squadron Signal Walk Around for the Wildcat but there are only two pictures even showing the...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part Three Work continues. Two updates in three days, wow. Watching YouTube was good for me and I was able to make some decent progress. The radio is 99% finished. All that is left is the wiring after it is installed into the fuselage. I was able to...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part Two More done on the SCR 274 and a bit to the plumbing on the interior of the fuselage. Some paint is a good thing right? Going blind with the white work. Using the Testor small bottles I got some color on the different receiver and transmitter...
