I've used the glue on both surfaces & it holds great.....maybe too great
I just cut through the hull from the inside following the curve of the hull
I've replaced some of the pipework;
Thanks for looking

I'm just about to start cutting where the hull meets the mandibles too that is why my ply support goes through to the end, is it all still stable after you have cut.
Also will you do the bottom ones as well?
At the minute I'm still undecided whether to remove the ANH F1 boxes & scratch the 32' boxes on the mandibles,....If I do, some 3mil foamex (the same stuff I made the wall of the portside pit out of) for interior strength.....but the structure is very well designed and stable (it needs to be if its supposed to be for a kid to knock it about)......I think adding support isnt needed at all......I may be wrong.....but I think "she'll hold together"
I'm going to fill in the opening of the overhang so that you don't see the innards, but keeping the illusion of the overhang....adding this foamex willbring back strength to this cut area
I'm gonna do the underside as well......on the inside of the underside I'm going to have to create some floor structure,....1: for the landing gear to slot into & 2: for a support if it is on a stand
Thanks for the input guys

On the back of this thread I went to Argos yesterday and got one for £19. Let the good times roll. So if you ever decide to sell those tie fighter wing molds please let me know

Great, looking forward to seeing your work CelticWarrior,
I'm making new moulds for those vents because the fitting of the last ones were a pain in the a**e,.....so I'm making 2 different options, one with 6 ribs (like the 5 foot & Episode 7 Falcon) or 8 ribs (like the 32" Falcon)
I'll post some images once I'm happy with them

I was going to ask the same but I ended up researching and IDing it just to see if I could, if I'm right it's an Airfix Panther Tank 1/76 hull.......
Unless you are talking about the 1/76th Airfix Sherman hulls

Hi Michael
That part is from an Airfix 1/72 King Tiger......another wee cheap kit...£5.
It goes as the main part for here:
John
EDIT: Yep HH, A Panther will work as well,....I just knew that the particular King Tiger's hatches could open,....maybe the Panther kits do also

...You could try that spacebob,...the 32" vents are a wee bit lower recessed than the 5 foot, so thats why I cut mine out.
I was hoping to keep that ring with the details on it & place the vent under it but the plastic is too thick making that ring look too thick,....so I cut it out as well.
I ended up making the ring out of very thin plasticard,.....but as I said to CelticWarrier, I'm trying to mould the vent & the ring as one piece, that should be easier to replace the lot & keep them all looking the same
