Thanks Massimo, it is nice when you get at this point of a build, adding the final details Hi everybody, I think I can call the C202 completed But let's see the last few steps. First off: look, she's on her legs!! Main wheels ant tail wheel were installed using drops of CA gel to hold them in place and Tamiya Green Cap to secure the bond. The steel rod used to represent the actuator arm were glued in place with a tiny amount of CA gel, bot sides. Inner side bay doors and their brackets: HASEGAWA has molded a mounting peg on each of said brackets, which doesn't have a corresponding receiving hole in the door so I did cut the pegs out and glued those bits in place, adding also the yellow pipes overlapping the brackets The brake lines were then glued to the wheels Last details; there's a fuel tank vent, port side; here's the kit part along with tits replacement, a segment of brass pipe cut and bent to shape In place and brush painted with Italeri Flat Steel Tail planes: if you squint, you may see I have brush painted two little red arrows (supposedly) used to check the alignment, since they had variable incidence Pitot tube: I replaced the kit part with a scratch built item, using a prescription needle and a steel rod: Here it is, compared to the plastic bit painted and in place Canopy opening handles: I sourced two suitable leftovers from a PE fret, glued in place with CA gel and painted accordingly Then, with the help of some blue tack, I glued the canopy in position - again, CA gel drops and some Tamiya Green Cap along the joint, applied with a fine brush Antenna mast and its wire which is, as usual for me, one of my daughters' hair Then I just needed to glue in the propeller, and there she is: I'll post an RFI thread soon-ish, meanwhile all comments welcome Ciao Edit: I forgot to mention that work on the C205 (remember this is a double build? ) will resume soon. Meanwhile I'll take a short break off this thread and try to complete the bust I started long ago Edited August 28, 2017 by giemme 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
