Re: Hasegawa 1/48 Hs129 B2 variant
Here's an update on this one - Pe parts for the pit are terrible, fit is almost impossible, Iv'e used a mix of Pe and resin parts to get to here.
Resin seat/armor plate, lots of cutting,filing to get it to here.
Broke the damned thing twice at the back, when fitted the fuse closes over it so it can't be seen
Whatever part you add, each one presents another fit prob.
As it is now, the pit fits in, and the fuse closes up with a lot of squeezing together - just.
Quickboost radio box in,
Used MM burnt iron non buffing paint on the exhaust ring, (pic is a bit dark) will play around with the finish next time I work on it.
made a simple mount for the 37mm, the pod isn't correct but will do, good thing is the Mk103 cannon support ring fits perfect around the barrel and looks quite good fitted.
more later.

Really nice looking cockpit Phil. I hate it's not fitting better than it is.
Can the canopy be slid back to view the interior ?

I hope you can see something then, otherwise mine is just as doomed

Cheers all
just the one update pic, got the fuselage and wings on tonight, nice fit there gaps non existent,
had to add a helper piece of scrap to support the bottom wing to rear fuse fit because of the cut off kit flaps,
all worked nice.
Cut off the rudder to use the resin one =- alas it is too short and leaves a huge gap at the bottom
of it - will use the kit one which isn't all that different.
I wanted to get it to this point so it didn't bug me while I start doing some building of the P-61 !!

Re: Hasegawa 1/48 Hs129 B2 variant
So nice to work with decent plastic and parts that don't snap when you look at them..........
nacelles on, lovely fit - naturally! and finished off the belts, a bit more Pe to go on around the seat but will fit later as it is at the top and would get mashed when covered up in the paint stage
The 37mm variant had the two Mg's removed to save weight, so I scratched two covers for the disused gun troughs
That Master Model brass barrel is so nice - fits lovely into the pod - a ring bracket is also to be fitted

almost ready for masking.
