Wolfman_63 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 While I contemplate my next large project, I am working back on my 1/48 scale aircraft. So the first aircraft completed in 2018 is a Trumpeter 1/48 scale F9F-3 from VF-51. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only negative is the front landing gear is molded to the front panel of the bay. Makes it difficult to detail the bay and tape it off when spraying the outside. Mine actually broke off and I had to pin it back together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never install the LG early on because I can guar·an·tee I'll break it off. Perhaps I'll cut it off and install a pin when I get to those pieces to avoid having to recover later.

Joel_W Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just an outstanding build. Strange that we don't see more of those Panthers and Cougars. I should talk as they've been on my build list forever, just never seem to get around to them. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
