Ha-1112 Buchon

 

this parts should be cut to receive the SBS resin nose 

Fit is perfect 

 

A G6 Kit tamiya kit with the eduard G6 (ready to be converted in Buchon) and another Tamiya kit with SBS resin nose 

 

the resin fits perfect in the tamiya kit 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

riveted tamiya tails 

 

 

I should eliminate the bumps on the sides of the eduard kit to convert it to buchon, maybe is better to use the G2 kit but i haven't found one. Not big problems indeed 

 

 

Modelling the nose for 3d Print and glue to the Eduard Kit 

 

 

Tamiya kit Dry test 

Instrument panel for tamiya kit 

Riveting the flaps of the tamiya kit 

I use Galaxy tools riveter 

done 

 

this part of the wing, should be eliminated on the eduard Kit to make a room for a new 3d printed one 

The part that should be done should be similar to the sbs kit one 

On the tamiya kit you should eliminate a bit of material too 

For obtain a template of the wing contours, I use miliput over sellotape 

 

First 3d print test 

 

 

 

Both models looking good 

 

 

 

the detail is superb I think 

 

 

 

I have realized that the general shape of the nose of the eduard Kit wasn't accurate so I decided to search for more documentation to make it closer to the real and re do it. The upper one is the older, and the other is the newer one, more accurate i think 

 

 

complete with more details, like riveting, propellers, exhaust stacks.....

I have given a light coat of panel liner to check all the details 

cannons seems quite nice
