ollieholmes Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Well its finaly back from the Decal artist and ive made a start on it. The engine on its own took me an hour to put together: And i used Citadael Bleached bone for the clear doped linen fuesalage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Velociweiler Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hi Ollie. Pardon my ignorance on this one but I'm assuming 1\32? Looks like it's going to be a wee bit tricky to paint between the cylinder rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Good to see that this has arrived Ollie, and is back from your decal designer - will you be using your own decals? Hi Ollie. Pardon my ignorance on this one but I'm assuming 1\32? Looks like it's going to be a wee bit tricky to paint between the cylinder rows.It is - the cylinders are (just) a little too close together for spraying ... personally, I'd've built the major components, sprayed, then finished assembling ... but each to his own, and if Ollie intends closing the engine bay, it wont be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollieholmes Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) I wuill be closing the engine bay up as its going to have some very decrotive markings on the cowlings but i have brush painted the engine just in case. Yes she is 1:32, i should have added that but i forgot. Robert: Yes i will be using my own markings, this one is going to be finished in the fish scheme.

patience Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 It looks like you've glued the fuselage to the lower wing supports before painting the underside of the fuselage and the top of the lower wing. Isn't this going to make it very difficult to get a good finish on both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this going to make it very difficult to get a good finish on both? It is but i think i can bet a brush in there and just be carefull. Fingers crossed.

The Velociweiler Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Last update before the decals come back to me: I can see what you meant about the engine now, there's barely a gnat you can see of it. Does the kit offer an option to leave the engine visible somehow? Intrigued about the decals - what are you getting done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Tango Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yes, you can see that not much is visible of the engine, I had this problem with the Roden SE5a, they give you the engine that they sell as a separate kit and if you build the complete engine it won't fit in the fuselage, it's too tall and too long.

ollieholmes Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ive glued my cowlings onto the model and as you can see almost nothing of the engine can be seen. The decals are with the Printers and should be back with me at the end of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollieholmes Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well its now looking like a small spider has crawled all over it (what a shame fish dont eat spiders ) and im ready to attach the top wing tomorrow so im hoping i might just get it done in time for the end of the group build. I had a very satisfying moment the other day of applying my decals to her and they went on a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollieholmes Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Well ive made some progress on her and shes now almost totaly rigged, i spent this everning rigging the tail and undercarridge so just a few left: That photo is a few days old so the main wing rigging is all done now.
