MARTIN MARINER 1/72

De um fórum do exterior:

I've been waiting for this kit since it was announced years ago. It was at Hub Hobby, the LHS, so I got it and started building it the same day. Initial impressions are good. Fit is excellent so far. I'll have a review post later with my impressions of the things that are a little off from my references. I decided to do a PBM-5, not the amphibian -5A. I couldn't wait for the later -5 release. The wheel well cover-up pieces (included) fit perfectly and some thin CA glue in the seam from the inside, a little sanding and you can't tell.

EDIT

8-15-13) Since I wasn't building a -5A, I didn't even look at the wheel well parts B65 and B66. The wheel well parts can be used, which will fill the area on top that I filled with Evergreen strip. It might even make for a stronger glue join when the covers are glued on. Since the windows are so small, I don't think you will be able to see in and see the wheel well parts.

Este cara já partiu para esta parte

"I couldn't wait for when or if Minicraft releases the PBM-5. Since the -5A kit has the wheel well covers, I used them. Note that the covers do not have the oval windows and the forward 2 round windows will need to be made ovals also. So there are actually 4 oval windows in a row on each side of the PBM-3/5.

I used the Verlinden Productions 1/72nd scale a/c Scribing Template VP3 280 and it has an oval the exact size I needed. I taped the template down and scribed around the oval with a drafting needle in a pin vise until I cut through the plastic. I will need to make 4 ovals from plex sheet or use clear window maker for the new oval windows. "
