I need to follow this post up with photos of the model. Honestly it’s a combination of what you wrote plus not having a lot of time at the moment, but your point is well made. Thank you.

Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex
Thanks for your reply, Joe. I definitely needed a moment to regroup and rejigger the whole front end fitment. The Revell guns are located a bit too close to the pilot. The guns actually are at the limit of the front of the cockpit opening. I’m going to attach 2 photos from the Details in Scale walk around:

Taco Tuesday’s Photo Dump
These are the kit parts for position only although I did think it might be possible to sand down the barrels and wrap the Copper State Models etch around them.

That is anazing work, even it the build state. Wow.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Didn’t you have some replacement guns for this?

Thanks, Gents. I absolutely do have replacements and will be using them; I built the Revell versions to use as guinea pigs to finesse the gun fitment, which is off. Also I have in mind to hybridize these with CSM’s versions.

Ahhhh… I thought that you had mentioned having some replacements. Those kit parts just look so clunky compared to all the work that you’re adding in there.speedgraflex wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2026 9:08 am Thanks, Gents.

I plan to photograph the CSM parts tonight so you can see the difference.

Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex
This is amazing work! That is also a brilliant idea to use t he kit guns to finesse the fit for the ones you plan on using later. I agree, the guns do need to be adjusted. I love watching this thread!

Duke! Duke! Duke!
You’re too kind and I remain grateful! I think the amount of work you are doing is inspiring as well as inspired. The speed that you produce finished models is enviable, truly. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with the mission to produce so many models; you’re truly one of a kind.
