rwkennard Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hey Nick Your hurricane is coming along very nicely. The cockpit is looking nice and busy as well. Do you have any plans for the merlin engine? Keep us posted Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any plans for the merlin engine? Keep us posted Richard Thanks Richard. I'm leaving the Merlin, the petrol tank arrangement and the machine guns out.. SHOCK HORROR! If anyone wants them they're up for grabs. I tried dryfitting the engine in, and it was a real nightmare with the cowling, and I'm in the "if you can't see it when the model's finished why bother putting it in" school. Plus, it puts less weight on the undercarraige legs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgregor Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sorry Richard, didnt realise you were after the merlin, just thought you were asking if it was been displayed seperate with the plane. Appologies. MacGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan the rabbit Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yes, it is still up for grabs. You guys want to sort out who takes it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgregor Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Offer it to Richard first, to be fair he asked first I just didnt know he wanted it for himself. Mabe there are a few more unused engines out there?? I sold my Hurri last year cause Id kept it for 20 odd years then decided I would never build it DOH!! BACK IN THE MOOD NOW. Currently have 2, 1/24 Spits to build & now fancy a hurricane to go with them. Keep up the good work, going great will watch with interest.

dylan the rabbit Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Got the wings on, and just sanding the joins (yawn).. More shots to follow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan the rabbit Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Sanding, filling, sanding, filling.... Cowling fit's a howler. Needs, you guessed it, sanding. Got the rear wings on, and have dropped the elevators. Just waiting for the glue goop in the join to dry so I can, well, sand them.. Isn't the quality of that bath fantastic though? Malabar's finest plumbers! Thanks landlord! Oh, and here's where I've been working the last couple of evenings. The other two kits have been sanded too..

dylan the rabbit Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Pulling this one out of the GB chaps and chapesses.. I'm going to be mentally busy with work this month (after the very quiet Dubai summer months thank God!) and it's quite behind schedule. In addition, the custom masks I'm sorting out for spraying the squadron codes and roundels aren't ready. There's no way I'm going to finish this by Halloween, and I don't want to rush it. I'll move the progress to the regular WIP section. The Defiant's on track for finishing, and hopefully the Spitfire will scrape in by the skin of it's teeth too. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
