QUOTE (NZKIWI @ Dec 5 2009, 08:46 PM)  I have only just come across this thread nice work . Back tracking a little the new u/c looks like it is a little longer than the original , is this true and thus is the original too short? I had not noticed until you brought it up. Yes it looks like the resin gear is taller. I suspect it should mount higher in the wheel well. I need to drag out my Esci kit and see if these are copies of that kit's gear. In this case I have used the original mounting points and the back end will probably sit high. Something to remember for the next one.

Update time, first paint colour is on. I have found a few blemishes that need sanding and paint reapplied, hope to carry on with it this afternoon.

Hi Ray, I have only just caught this thread. This is looking really nice. Inspirational build. You have given a new meaning to the saying, 'Patience is a virtue'. Great stuff and I am looking forward to the finished article. BTW pass me one of those Cadburys Light Vanillas please. Peter |

Seems like a while since the last update and work has progressed and regressed and then progressed some!
I managed to get some paint on the wings but when I masked up to do the flight controls I managed to pull up the gloss coat when removing said masking. So I had to strip the wings and resand then. I have now got back to it and applied the black for the deicer boots and a metallic shade for the flight controls. This will be masked up in a couple of days and the next metallic shade added.  I was looking at some pictures of the tail area I decide reshaping it to something more like the aircraft would not be too difficult. I filed the fillet area flat and glued in a piece of card that will be reshaped to reflect the F-27-200 shape back there.  After adding some putty...  So this all sits under the masking waiting for the paint to dry and set up... Stay tuned  |

Jeff Trying to work on 4 different kits at once slows you down a bit Haven't heard from Dave yet, we have the club meeting tomorrow night and he supposed to be turning up. No doubt he will be a popular lad for a short while. I hope he managed to obtain a few goodies I asked for. Ok, paint applied and masking removed...
