This continues to be an impressive build.
And the kit appears to be top notch, as well, too.
Watched a vid on building the 1/18 (!) Merit SBD 3/4, and was somewhat amazed. That kit goes for north of US$150, and has as many movable parts as the old Monogram 1/48 kit (other than folding wings--go figure). The parts looked as if they had been pantographed "up" to the larger scale, rather than down.
So, all the more applause on the build here.
Sorry for butting in (again) Captain you should do a build log in the site.

Not sure Lou. As I assembled it I made sure no glue got on the shaft pin that runs down thru the assembly, but I cannot see how the thing will rotate if I glue that pin into the hole in that black rimmed insert. Also cannot see how I can insert it in hole either since I am inserting it blind, no way to see the hole. Have to play around with it to figure it out. I will try to post some close ups later
I remember some kits - old school Airfix I think, thier heli's used to have a plastic T piece bolt like thing it was supposed to be held inplace then the rotor head was supposed to glue to it allowing the rotor head to rotate.

I think they are great infact essential if you want to open your aircraft up - like panel covers to show inside work and engines also ground equipment if you want to do a dio.

I think it's already catching on! I don't doubt that we're all going to get to that place at one time or another during this insane time!

Looks rather good, OC. No detail up whatsoever?
Yep the join lines are really tight with regards to the tollerances, I thought the join where the wings meet the fuselage might needs some work - but straight on even with a dry fit - they fit fine no filling I dont think.

Before I can finish the rest of the model I have to add 3-4 grams of weight/ballast to the nose so it will sit level. Right now it is tail heavy. This incarceration is making it difficult to run and and pick up a packages of BBs since I have nothing in stock that will fit down into the well. More later !
Have you got any small nuts and bolts? you could try attaching them with blue tak.

Evening all,
Right as I said earlier - I dragged the other Spit kit out (That I had stashed in the cupboard as I messed it up) I had a look over it and think with the confidence from building this, I should be able to salvage it into a Seafire Mk3.

it will be Denis ... it just hasn't arrived yet. I want to build one with a detailup cockpit, engine, radio room (more like a box), and wheels. That should keep me busy a few days ... four seperate builds in one ... add a cloak of invisbility ... and the camo is complete too
By the way, presently working on a Spitfire IXc 1/48 engine ... should fit snuggly in OC's build
Sounds interesting, is it the Brassin one? I have heard good things about that.

I Was thinking (Steady on I might use my single brain cell) lol, anyway I have that other Spit kit that is stashed in the cupboard - I might see if its rescue-able to build a RN Seafire from it after I have built this - "What say you shipmates"?

Thats looking really nice - love the detail and history regarding the engine fire - puts a real persoanl take on the build.

Yep I've seen the film, really good! But for a great Pacific campaign war film you got go a long way to beat Tora, Tora, Tora. If they remade that today with CGI effects it'd be a blockbuster 😁😉
Couldn't agree more and Empire of the Sun.
