Zippi Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) If you were following along on the build you know I was kinda fighting this the whole way or rather it was fighting me. Didn't really have a good windshield frame to use even after buying a second kit and getting two replacement windshield frames from Revell. The one you see in the pics is the best I could do for now. It is just tack glued in place until Revell comes through with something good to use. Not my best work but it's done.

Classicgas Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 My windshield frame was straight. Only assembly issue I had was that lower radiator hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that lower hose was a chore. I had to remove the radiator to get it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do my 30 I'll attach it to the radiator first I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Looks really nice to me Bob ! But that's looking at photos , you had some issues so you're probably soured on the whole thing . Just think of it as a learning experience , we've all been there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Looks great. You did a good job despite the problems you had. Haven't started mine yet, waiting to hear from Revell about that windshield frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
