More things created from bits and pieces within easy reach. This time it consists of the engine access doors from a pair of Tamiya 1/35th scale M5 Stuart light tank or the M8 75mm HMC kits. Both have identical parts runners and the part is not used in either of these kits.
I first glued both parts together so that both parts combined would create a larger double door. Once that was accomplished I set it aside and pursued other projects for a few days while trying to find a use for this "double door" thing. As luck would have it, my Muse must have given me an idea which you can now see in the attached images.
Other items that were used for this project:
Sanding stick stiffeners, the white triangle shapes at the rear and inside as structural reinforcements. The lower internal fuselage floors sections from the Tamiya 1/48th scale Lancaster B.IIIS Grand Slam and Dam Buster Bomber kit. I used these parts for the top and side panels. Once assembled I cut away the excess plastic to obtain the peculiar shape you see in the attached images. No idea on what it will be used for. I was glad to be able to create something from pretty much nothing.
