Graham Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Here is my attempt to correct the engines so it has a flat face for the prop, I used 30thou plastic card cut to the same size as the spinner (poorly I may add as I stink at cutting circles) then using milliput filled in the gap and as seen smoothed it out around the nacelle. It has still to be sanded to shape but the idea is there. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I have glued to prop blades into their housing, sanded the nacells also I have started on the main legs by drilling out the holes to pin the wheels and started the cleaning up process.

JakeEaton Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Nice work on the nacelles! Lovely and smooth looking. Looks like the legs are going to be a lot of work though. I really enjoy reading and seeing your updates, keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Hi guys I have managed to start work on her again this time it's the unglamorous work but necessary as I bringing both wings up to the same standard. I have the MV lens in the wing as the landing light it's turned yellow with age but I am going to use it anayway. I do the work on one part and when I feel it is right then I progress to the other, I am going on a shift pattern soon so it means I might have a little more time to work on the Mossie Graham.

Graham Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Here is the canopy fitted but I chickened out, I spoke to Ian and he got me in touch with Mark who does the builds for him and he fitted it for me THANKS MARK. I had an attempt at it but I cut it a bit short so rather than botch the whole job I asked and received some help, I’m am a very happy bunny and I now look forward to making some real progress.

Graham Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Decided to add a bit more detail to the rudder, I copied and enlarged the Tamiya plans then copied it onto the thinnest plastic card that I had, cut it out, glued and sanded it.

Graham Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) Added some tissue paper over the rudder for that fabric effect, cut to size and soaked in liquid poly now to leave it over night. Graham. Edited June 8, 2007 by Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
