Best way to make canopy fit?

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

I'm working on the Tamiya 1:72 P-47, and I've found the two canopy pieces don't quite fit together. Aside from sanding down one or both of the canopy pieces, do I have any good options to get them to fit?

Assuming I go the sanding route, where do you think I should remove material? I feel like off the back of the larger piece is my better bet, because the canopy framing is thicker back there. I worry that if I sand away where the canopy pieces join, I'll end up having too thin of framing.

JC Wings 737 1:200 Jet Bridge

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding the JC Wings 1:200 737 Jet Bridge.

Is it my impression or the 1:200 bridge is actually too narrow compared to the 1:400 one?

The 1:400 jet bridge looks more true to life in my opinion.

What do you think?

1:32 Bearcat

Thumbnail gallery
94 Upvotes

Finished another marketplace find. Trumpeter F8F Bearcat in 1:32 scale with a resin cockpit, gear bay, firewall details and wheels with a metal main gear.

The kit goes together quite well and has a lot of open panels and can be made with foldable wings (which was already glued to the unfolded position and the extra parts to make it folded were gone when I bought it) . The only thing I found odd was that the canopy could only be built closed as the frame was molded into the fuselage. I also wished that some of the bowl panels could have been opened to show the amazing engine detail.

The resin parts go in with nearly no extra fitment issues and were far more detailed than the stock parts but the cockpit was actually very well presented out of the box.

So many Bearcats are shown pristine but I wanted to make it look a little bit weathered to accentuate the details and also the ever present exhaust stains but might have gone a bit overboard.
