Also, as far as I have seen, US versions only had the sliding door on the starboard side. Yeah i agree the kit ribs are good. I use those cause i want to do a wash in the groves to add depth. I just found a company called Anyz, they do resin connectors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I guess Fly model had ingraved the side door on their kit, probably for a German version since they used a side door...maybe future release. I ended cutting mine on kit, gives more viewing inside. Edited May 10, 2021 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I could be wrong but this looks like a side door to me on the Navy H.34. Edited May 11, 2021 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Interesting. I have never seen one w/the additional side door. Good find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
troschi Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm no H-34 expert, but I believe that with anti-sub Seabats the sliding door could be seperated in halves (Think I've seen this with Italian ones). So, from my point of view, what you see in the picture is actually the rear part of the sliding door which is slid over the center of the national insignia. If there would be an additional swing door, the national insignia would be most likely painted over it. Otherwise: stunning work as usual Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you look closely, the narrow aft door allows both refueling points to be exposed (the recessed areas beside each side of the lower part of the door) with the left half of the door slid all the way aft.

Rotorman Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Yeah I see that . Sadly i cut the door already so i am going with it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver thank you for showing our work on this specialized forum. As I told you these are all parts for 1/32 Fly model and they cover Wessex HC, Wessex HU, and H-34 as well, that seems to be a very hot subject. I really don't want to highjack your thread, you have been so kind with us and I want to show you our thankfulness with a picture straight from the 3D Printer. As you can see MGRB has been completely redone, because we think that the one supplied with Fly kit is definitely wrong and unusable. I am starting a WIP on this site too, so we will have time for talking about these wonferful subjects. Thank you for your endorsement and happy modelling.

Rotorman Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) I think its time to get started on the other side of the fuselage. Edited May 31, 2021 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnightprowler Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Wow. I'm assuming some of that detail is tacked in place so you can remove it for painting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) So here comes the headaches with this kit which i was aware of. The bottom fuselage part doesn't fit correctly and additional putty or superglue required for a tight fit. The bottom of the cabin floor needs to be sanded in order to fit inside the fuselage especially in the front. The front part of the fuselage bottom has to be removed to accommodate the H.34 nose and the nose needs to be stretched a bit wider to fit the fuselage body with a lateral piece of brass or styrene, There is a large opening at the bottom of the nose, some kind of cooler goes there and needs to be added before the nose is glued to the fuselage(detailing required). . The lack of instructions in the booklet are in my opinion a bit unclear and so are the gluing process of the various interior pieces. A bit of handling and a lot of dry fitting is required before going further with the gluing of the fuselage halves. I am still debating about opening the cowlings to show the engine but before going further all the fitting issues need to be dealt with. I knew this was a hard kit when I started it.

HeavyArty Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Looking good. You can see what I mean by the cockpit floor being too long above. I talk about how to fix it in my post from a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
