Yeah, I looked there! They’ve done some cool stuff.
I picked up a “prop action” Tamiya Ki-84 “Frank” kit off eBay this week. I’m gonna try doing one engine first, then maybe move up to two before going after the big boy, a B-29 and motorize all four engines!
I like to let props and turrets rotate. It’s nice to be able to change the pose occasionally. I usually flatten the tires, so they might as well be stationary. My canopies are usually determined during construction, usually open to show detail. They are usually glued with the type of glue that allows them to be removed (or knocked off). If I’m going to close the canopy and have a choice, I’ll use the kit’s one piece option. It gives a cleaner look. But as far as moving parts go… Nobody still attacks the cat with the Monogram Dauntless? Rick.
My Monogram SBD is still being assembled. I have modified it witha more accurate bomb yoke that is not operational… but it can still strafe…[whstl]
