Nev Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I had the Neomega pit (before I sold my kit), and it was AWESOME detail. I look forward to seeing what you can do with it Which markings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mhsuzuki Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Stephen, I have the same kit, but without the Neomega set. Be prepared for the fuselage's junction. My box came with warped halves... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Stephen,I have the same kit, but without the Neomega set. Be prepared for the fuselage's junction. My box came with warped halves... I found that out!!!!! The first one I built came from the recent release.this kit was 1st generation and required a lot of work The neomega set wasn't a briiliant fit either compared to the last one.the decision to use the Paragon flaps meant that a section of fuselage had to be replaced with plasticard/bicar of soda/superglue too.

mhsuzuki Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I am not 100% sure but somewhere else I remember to read that this mix of superglue/bicarbonate is not very long lasting...But I can be wrong and I am just confusing the subjects... Your start seems promising! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham T Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 So far so good Stephen.....isn't the front fuselage joint fun! My 15 squadron Bucc should be finished this weekend. On this, my second Airfix Bucc, I tried drilling the joining edges on the top & bottom parts around the nose & inserting brass rod in the lower halves to line up with the holes in the top....oh yea THAT worked! :D I used the Neomega pit but got a HUGE gap between the top of the instrument panel & the combing which somewhat spoils the effect!

Stephen Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 I added the intakes and exhausts last night and the fit was AWFUL :blink: Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mhsuzuki Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Stephen, Could you show some pictures of the cockpit? Maybe I will buy a Neomega set for my Bucc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Stephen,Could you show some pictures of the cockpit? Maybe I will buy a Neomega set for my Bucc... Here's a pic of the cockpit.The plasticard is to replace items damaged. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 The intakes,exhausts,tail and flaps have been added.I have to say that this kit is taking a LOT of work. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Will2K65 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Having butchered two of the RAF boxings of this kit way back, I know what a struggle this beast can be! Looks like you've tamed most of the issues with the fuselage fit though. Interested to see how this works out :huh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShaunBD Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 You are making good progress, Stephen. I think this kit should come in an Airfix gift pack with a tube of filler and super glue thrown in for free. The way I joined my bucc was to super glue the nose and tail first and once that had set, I closed the wing roots with clamps. The gap at the mid section must have been about 15mm before I forced it togeather, has anyone ever seen a release of this kit that was not warped! Shaun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) I have three of these kits and every time I get keep to start, the dry fit turns me off and the whole box goes back into the stash again... One day! Looks great so far, nice work on the fuselage <_< MikeJ Edited September 28, 2006 by madmike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Had to give up on this I'm afraid Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Stephen Thanks for having a go mate! The quarter scale Bucc is a challenge at the best of times. MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
