Wildcat conversion

[chriswil42]

Most of the fuselage together with a 3mm gap to fill.

Still some filling and sanding to do. As the conversion kit was designed for the Hobby Boss kit and I am using the Airfix kit which requires modifications to the main rotor hub.

Keep at it.

It's slow.

Hi Chris,
This one is living up to its name. Certainly a 'Wildcat' and fighting you.
You need to get your Lion tamer suit on...........

Chris, I always have admiration for someone that is prepared to alter their kits to such an extent. I have a few brassin parts for different models but have never picked up the courage to do it yet, though that may change. So good on you.

[chriswil42]

Thanks Brian. I am getting there slowly.

[chriswil42]

Undercarriage on; tailplane on and cockpit glazing fitted. Some filling and finessing to do yet.

That's a big word "finessing"!
Looking good.

[Bigkev]

That is some hefty building work there Chris.
Looks like it will all come together nicely after your 'finessing'. Watching with interest.

This turning into an interesting looking beast.

[chriswil42]

Ready for masking then primer.

[Bigkev]

Are these normally a grey scheme?
Lots of masking to overcome first though........

[chriswil42]

Two shades of grey no less.

[Bigkev]

Only 48 to go then...........Hohoho
