HansReggelsen Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Hi While I'm quiet busy in the NATO vs Warzawa Pact 1970'es GB at the moment I plan to build this in the GB: OOB in Boxart markings. Should be interesting to make a pure white plane! OK - until the 18'th of february. Cheers Hans J Edited April 9, 2017 by HansReggelsen 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper_city Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Got one of these in the stash. Watching with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'll be keen to look in on this too. I've got the boxing with Aussie decals though I want to use some after market decals to do the scheme they retired in. Hints, tips & clues as you build this will be swooped on. Steve.

Rabbit Leader Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Always great to see a "Boo" being built. I've never seemed to have acquired one and when my interest in the type does peak, the 2nd hand market seems to want a fair bit of coin! Looking forward to seeing you progress with this one. Chers..

HansReggelsen Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thanks to all who replied allthough you'll have to wait until next saturday! It's also a interesting for me, as getting an all white plane to look interesting and not toylike will be a bit of a challenge!

HansReggelsen Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 So finally I'm getting this one started. I originally hadn't planned to do a lot of correcting on this one, but the cockpit is always a focalpoint on a modelplane so I'll 'do' that up a bit - but just a little bit, mind you!

HansReggelsen Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Well I couldn't leave well alone so I did a bit - only a bit, you know - of the rear cockpitwall (is it cockpitWALL or cockpitBULKHEAD? ) That'll be all for tonight!

stevehnz Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Excellent. I've got one of these & I think this may be the first build of them I've seen, so I'll be happily devouring all your pointers Hans. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Today's update - not a big one, but an important nonetheless: While I was building this I pondered how far I would do this detailing and I've decided that a little more - seatbelts, instrumentdecals etc. and that that will be it. Not much one can see through the small cockpitwindows anyway! One has to know when to call it a day! Cheers Hans J 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I can see that you are enjoying this one Hans Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Here's - once more - a small update: This is just a testfitting. I have glued a new floor to the bottom of the frontpart of the cockpit and this shows the rearwall taped to it. The plan is to mount the frontpart to the fuselage first and then the rearwall so I have a little 'give' in regards to the final positioning. Which reminds me of something I've been pondering: I always build my cockpit etc into the RIGHT-hand fuselage first! And THEN line up the left-hand fuselage after that. Am I alone in doing this or is this the universal law! Cheers Hans J 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe unless stated differently in the instructions of the build. I guess it is a dormancy thing like right vs left handed. If you try doing it the other way could feel weird and unnatural? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansReggelsen Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well. - the cockpit is almost finished - at least the mainparts! It'll look OK once the fuselage are united and the canopy is on! Cheers Hans J 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought too, when I saw it. Saves you a lot of work! I remember reading about it, when the kit first came out oh so many moons ago - i think it was in Scale Modeling International!
