Hey folks.
Been here for a while but, with no new registrations being taken on, had to content myself with looking but not participating.
All's changed now as you can see
Not just been watching, been having a go at one of these fellas meself.
Here's where i am with the front section:
I've the rest of the Regult parts to put on here - see question below.
Had a change of plan with the rear section. Read here with dismay that the 1/24th Huey was quite a rare kit and, when they did pop up on eBay, went for quite a bit.
Not being able to justify the expense, i decided not to slavishly follow the original, more use it as a jumping off point and do a riff on it. Call it a different version if you will.
This is what i did, using a 1/72nd B-29 (different scale, same size), plumbing tube, the Airfix Tornado tail and the Wessex rear rotors:
But top bloke Matt Noble had supplied me with the Regult leg halves - which of course i couldn't use.
So, changed tack, scrapped the existing rear section and i'm now going to do it properly.
Helped by the fact that i've just got the Huey at a dead cheap price - cheaper in fact than what i paid for the Panzer wagon that i bought for one tiny part.
Anyway, here you go with the first of no doubt many questions:
The rounded Regult part that joins the other Regult parts making up the gun assembly to the Porsche body - do i use just the one half circle part, or join the two together to make a proper dome shape?
