9thstormo Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hello all, Hopefully I can put this into words properly... When installing the Aires cockpit set on a 1/48 HAS F-18 kit, does the cockpit tub and coaming sit flush with the upper edge of the top fuselage half, or do they butt up against the lip moulded into the HAS fuselage. Ie-The Aires instructions show the kit coaming as needing to be removed, but should this cut continue with the removal of the overhang as well? If so, once the Aires set is installed, would you suggest painting, washing, drybrushing as normal. Then align install (with epoxy) so that it is flush with upper edge of fuselage, and then putty the top edge to blend in with the kit fuselage? BTW, started on a CF-18 w/ Leading Edge 'Balkan Rats' decals eventually. Thanks in advance for your help. Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
