Jimmy invited me to join in over here form another forum. have to be honest... didin't know about this one but I do see some familiar names I've not seen in a wile.
Happy to join the fray.
For this party I'll be using the Vector resin update set, less the spinner. That will be the Eagle Parts spinner which comes with a drill guide base to get the holes.
The spinners in order... Eagle Parts, Vector and the kit. The Vector and kit parts are a bit too bulbous and neither has the rivet detail the Eagle spinner has. I may just make the dimple a little more crisp. Also the F spinner has a tear drop shaped opening for the prop blades. Kit part-none, Vector-a bit too much and the Eagle part are just about right.
This will be closed canopy to just need to be able to see some rudimentary shapes inside. A scrounged through the drawer that collects all the stuff that doesn't get used up and found 1 set of Luftwaffe PE seatbelts at the back of the drawer. The engine is there for no other purpose than to hold the exhaust in the correct position. I left one of the kit pipes in place for the pic to see the difference to the resin updated pipes.
