jimz66 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Every time I try to work with a resin cockpit I always go through the floor. Why can't I seam to get it right or the manufactures who make them make the floor thick enough without it becoming a problem when we work on them? Is it just me?

PNW_Modeler Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I've burned through a couple myself....seems to depend on the kit. I've found resin pits for the Hasegawa Phantom series to have very thin floors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) A belt sander helps and you can also thin the fuselage below the resin to ensure a sure fit. It will be a lot of dust any way you go...... Edited April 29, 2010 by drhornii Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov-47 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I had a "Black Box" cockpit once (can't remember which one) years ago, and the only way I could make everything fit was to sand the 'pit bottom so thin, it did go through the floor, under where the seat goes. I quit using BB cockpits after that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TXCajun Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 It's one of those trade-offs intrying to get the depth of the tub to scale while tying to provide a floor that will clear the parts underneath. I've seen a similar problem with resin wheel wells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
