I'd already been planning this before Sword decided to upstage me!! And as I had beenplanning how and why I thought I'd persevere anyway...
Its a kit bash using the new Airfix F2a and an Aeroclub vac form fuselage.......
I wanted to use as much as the hoist kit as possible, hence the butchery... Not sure which scheme to finish this T5 off in, but it may well have Binbrooks Blue Lion on the fin!!!
Started yesterday and here's how far I am by close of play tonight.
1. Airfix's F2a butchered.....
2. Aeroclubs vac-form fuselage partly butchered....
3.. Intake ducting built up and added to right fuselage half..
4. Fuselage halves joined
5. Aeroclub's humped section has been glued togetherand supported internally with rod, Aeroclub's cockpit bulkhead and floor have been cut out and added. I have since replaced the cockpit floor to a thinner piece of card.
6. The humped spine has been added....I'll use Milliput to fair this and the section aft of the cockpit side walls, once the wings are on...
Next up....
I'll be adding the nose sections and the belly tank.....
