That's IMPRESSIVE kit bashing. 

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, guys!

Wow- I was skeptical- but I'm a believer now!

That's IMPRESSIVE kit bashing. 

Yup. I'm just going to get the "D" cap out and go stand in the corner 

Great workmanship 

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, gents!


For once I really worked at the PSR, rather than rushing through it, & it seems to have paid off.

[Old Wombat]

OK, so this is a fail for the GB over on BtS.

This is where I got to:

Wings are just dry-fitted to the fuselage & the nacelles are just dry-fitted to the wings.














However, the build goes on!

Looks like a bit of internal structural framing is required, then it's PSR time! (Oh, joy! )

Starting to look like an Albatross.

[kerick]

Impressive! I like this more each time I check in.

[sykotik]

this is seriously cool - I like it a lot. The engines over the wings like that give it a bit of that 70's and 80's industrial Russian look (something I personally really like)
Will be watching this come together

[Old Wombat]

Thank you very much, gentlemen!

Well, it is a Grumman product.

[PR19_Kit]

That does look good.

Have you literally put the engine nacelles on the wings upside down and trimmed to suit the different wing curvature?

[Old Wombat]

Yes ... & No.

The nacelles have been flipped & fitted to the opposite wings, which has pretty much fixed the sweep & curvature issues.

However, I've also cut off the front of the nacelles & re-attached them right-side up, & I've fitted the rear section of the nacelle (a separate unit) up the right way ... hence the big V-shaped gap at the rear.



Now, back to the PSR!

VEEERY clever, well done and thanks. 

[Rick Lowe]

That's coming along well.

I like the cockpit detailing, well done.

Loving this vuild!
