.linus Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 [/url] this is my first time with PE.horrible stuff haha Haha they are a pain in the ***. With that being said, your first time started out infinitely better than my first time. It was a total mess and I lost so many pieces to the carpet monster Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndyLiu Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Very convincing details on the engine, I'm going to do the same thing on my E, but lacking of references. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A21-29 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 tub done.not happy with it but meh,its done now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nimrod77 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hey mate, Nice work on the cockpit there. Just more an FYI, the rear cockpit you have there is not correct for our jets. It should be the same as a Growler... like this Just in case you want to fix it. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A21-29 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) yep,well aware.its not included in the trumpy kit and im not going to buy a growler just for that bit haha. this was one of the first kits released,so i have had it for some time before i started building it and im not big on after market parts.none of my models have ever been dead accurate :D/> Edited February 12, 2014 by A21-29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A21-29 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) ok,the more i look at the tub the more i hate it. who does resin cockpits in 1/32 for a super F with the right rear IP to suit the trumpy kit? Edited February 12, 2014 by A21-29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.linus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Sorry pal, I've lurked through the internet for several hours now with no luck on a resin tub for the Fmodel. Only luck was for an E. If I was any good at resin making, I'd make you one. Sadly, I am not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A21-29 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I appreciate that Mr Linus. I came across same problem ,nothing for the F. well this build is being benched , im over it so moving onto something else. end thread Edited February 13, 2014 by A21-29 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CW4 Erick Swanberg Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Sprue Bros has an update cockpit set for the Trump kit with an ACS, thru the Steel Beach line. I mastered the Instrument panel for Darren. The set comes with a throttle and stick as well.

Check Six Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Progress looks awesome ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A21-29 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 pulled it out of the box today and had another look,the rear cockpit not being right for our supers really pisses me off and is putting me off going any further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
305swag Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Pretty sad that no one has made a AM pit for the Trumpy F. Main reason I sold mine a while back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nimrod77 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 pulled it out of the box today and had another look,the rear cockpit not being right for our supers really pisses me off and is putting me off going any further. Have you thought about trying to get a cockpit from the trumpy growler kit as spares? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A21-29 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hey Nimrod,yes i had a good think about that last night.not sure where to acquire one though. In the meantime i got some done and will push forward as much as i can till i sort something out for the tub. I have an MB-326 Macchi (done as a roulette) on the go so most of my effort will go into that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nimrod77 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Have look at this... http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/sba32012.htm Might help? You would have to talk to Mr steel beach himself. He lurks on these forums sometimes. Or there's this from Eduard https://www.whiteensignmodels.com/p/Eduard+132+EA18G+Growler+interior+self+adhesive+Trumpeter+ED33102/14798/#.Uws63XM_7qA HTH Edited February 24, 2014 by nimrod77 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A21-29 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 thanks Nimrod,its the same link further up,but its not working now for some reason and when it was they had non in stock.hopefully that changes in the near future. wings have been assembled and will be primed tomorrow.

Devilleader501 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Dude you can't let the ip hold you up. This is looking stellar and I would hate to see you shelf this thing. If I had a super id'e donate the ip just to see you finish it. Unfortunately I only have the C model. I have been looking into buying a growler and if I do you will be the first one on my list because the rear ip I would not have any problem donating to you. Keep up the awesome work I am really looking forward to seeing more. Edited February 24, 2014 by Devilleader501 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
