Turret troubles.
My first though was to take the turret ring and front turret from the Focke and graft that on to the Mosquito fuselage, sadly looking at the curves involved I realised this would be unlikely to look seamless. This had me stumped for quite a while.
I wanted to cut a circular hole and slot in the turret but i could not think how to make it the right shape. Then I came up with the idea of melting the hole. luckily I had a bit of copper pipe of about the right diameter.
It was working too, until I got impatient and pushed too hard, then this happened.
Oh well, nothing some glue couldn't fix. After much filing I had a hole that fit the turret pretty well, just one issue, I had the 'glass' of the turret but not the gun etc to go in to it.
I found a gun that looked about right and what I think is part of the exhaust from my 1/16 RC Tiger 1.
A quick chop and some glue and we have something that will look OK enough.
And here we are.
My only worry is that, now I look at it I want the turret to sit lower, not sure what do you think?
Next up some finishing touches on the underside and then I think I'll need some advice on what to do next.
