diablotx - NUKE...ummmm....any updates?
nuke: “Lol, actually I've run into a slight problem that I have to contemplate......
The kit looks great, the model is painted, gear is painted and even added some detail like brake lines. Canopy is done and looks clear as glass. The plane looks good if I do say so myself.
All is good and I was ready to claim victory...... until I went to install the final peice, the Prop/ ducted fan/ and Spinner to the engine.
It turns out that the engine sits about 1/4 out too far into the cowel, causing the fan behind the prop to stick out past the cowel instead of beging behind it.. It's been sitting for a few days...... I pick it up and look at it a few times, then put it down and wait for inspiration on how to fix it.
I guess that would almost be considered a rookie mistake on my part...... the kit had severe fit problems and I should have checked that part before I assembled the cowel....sigh”
nuke again -
no reason to be sorry buddy, I thrive on challenges.... and this is a good looking kit.
It's going to look awesome and it has been fun to build.
