Revell VIIC 1-72 scale my way... - Page 2

jpkoral · 11-13-07, 09:30 AM

Just purchased the kit on EBay to go along with my 1-72 US Fleet Sub. Was checking on aftermarket parts...photoetched.....and doing general research before beginning. The Eduard parts look great. There are also photoetched parts at whiteensignmodels.com and some nice photos of a completed model at hsgalleries.com.

Nice one (again) on the photo Chock,

One thing i did notice in the photo and you have to look quite hard to spot it......
that anchor!!.......I think Revell got this part of the boat very wrong indeed, the one in my kit is tiny!!!:rotfl:

I doubt that's the intended anchor for the sub, it's probably one just for the launch. I looks a bit big for a sub.

What a day!....first i nearly lost my job , and now on the return from work i find the parcel from the states. Did not have to check what it was - i knew it was box with my parts!
So now we off and running.

I just received the email from Wojtek regarding the photo- etched insulators, and they are done!
He has sent the insulators today, and showed me the picture of the test fitting:

The spaces between the line grooves will be filled with Magic Sculp, or Green Stuff.
You like?

on the insulators!

Siara · 08-23-09, 03:50 PM

Insulators have arrived, These babies are small!

Wojtek produced couple of designs. One aesier than the other. I will assemble one of each, and decide which to use.

Siara · 09-12-09, 04:53 AM

Unfortunately i wasnt as good solderer as i thought i was, and i had to ditch the PE insulators. Instead i used the medium called Green Stuff.

Good thing it has the right color, and theres no need for paint.
