Bob Beary Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Has anyone built this kit...or tried to? When I got to the split cowling pieces and the fit of the lower piece to the wing joint and the two pieces to each other and the fuselage, the fit was very poor to say the least. Did anyone else encounter this? I'm about to trash it. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrGlueblob Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Mine fit together fine. Maybe contact Revell for replacement parts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DDC Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Not to ask the obvious, but Is the cowl supposed to fit to the wing and fuselage? Or is there meant to be a big gap between those, with the cowl only attaching to the engine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I think Revell is missing the boat by not doing this kit in 1/32!! Even better would be a 1/24th scale kit! glt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Beary Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) I put it on the back burner for a while I went back to it yesterday and hacked off everything on the firewall, cut a chunk out of the alignment brace on the upper half of the cowl (to give me some flexibility to adjust things) and cemented it all together. The cross section of the cowl does not match the cross section of the fuselage where the two meet. And the joint of the lower cowl/fuselage bottom piece does not align very well with the lower wing where the two join. I'll keep plugging away and start throwing putty at the less than stellar fit.
