Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...First Cuts
Well here I am.
Here we go.
First step is .................well..................some destruction.
First up was to mock up the mount for the landing gear/engine. From what I remember this is one of the problem areas. I added a bit of styrene to get it to sit level and then centered. I then mocked up the pit floor to make sure where the cuts would end up. Out came the dremmel and after about a half hour.......
Not much to it. I cut out bits of the upper wing as well. Going to do that a bit different than the previous ones.
Next is clean up and then I can begin to work on the details.
All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part One
A quickie update to show what little work I have done.
Work was isolated to fabrication of the radio equipment for this aircraft. The SCR-274 N. Composed of several components here is the still very rough initial look.
Should be pretty cool when done. Debating on whether to paint it now or wait as I did with the P-40B equipment.
Next will be to continue fabrication of the parts aft the cockpit.

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part Two
More done on the SCR 274 and a bit to the plumbing on the interior of the fuselage.
Some paint is a good thing right? Going blind with the white work. Using the Testor small bottles I got some color on the different receiver and transmitter equipment.
The work on the interior of the fuselage begins with the different boxes and fittings for the starboard side.
The interior is coming right along with much more to do. The wiring and fittings for the radio and then the different boxes and fittings for the port side of the fuselage are next up.
