Royal Navy Canberra TT18

And today just a quick tinker on that wing, going by the Canberra IPMS SIG site I found a couple of pictures of the open air conditioning bay. Below gives an indication of what is in there

I have started with the main unit and shaped it and installed some piping. It won't be 100% accurate but as long as it's representative I will be happy. I have also fitted a frame to split the bays and ribbed the outer bay. The area around the cut out was also filled and will be faired in. This is where we are at.

 

 

And I have also fitted the vent below the wing by cutting out a square and fitting a vent shaped from aluminium shim stock.

 

 

You will note that despite fitting the undercarriage over a week ago it is still intact and not missing in the carpet some where....winner!

 

More tinkering to come

".....or in this case, because it isn't not there!"

Yeah, I think I see what you're getting at, now.

Seriously, this is mind-bogglingly good freestyle modelling going on here.

Looking good Bob, nice attention to detail but then that's what we do best...
