Quite a very large bump but also an update: After almost 6 months of this sitting in a safe place, due to various things i.e interviews, football, airshows and also a lost mojo this is where the Wimpy is currently up too. After fighting a loosing batle with the photoetch, I spoke to the guy I'm building this for and he said not to worry about adding it, but possibly save it if you do decide to poss do another one after this in the future, I've added the photo etch to the instrument panel & also some of the Navigator's equipment: instrument panel by John Rooney, on Flickr Nav Panel by John Rooney, on Flickr After painting the nav panel in the same brown as you'll see I've painted the interior in I found while browsing on a few sites that it differentiated between Brown & Grey, so out with the paint to touch it up with the Grey Mock up 1 by John Rooney, on Flickr mock up 2 by John Rooney, on Flickr While I was waiting for the paint to dry on a couple of parts I'd finished building the bomb bay & give this a light coat in a mix of Humbrol 11 & tamiya xf-16: mock up 3 by John Rooney, on Flickr Mock up 4 by John Rooney, on Flickr Also have spent a bit of time enlarging the small holes in which the exhaust collector pipes fit in to as originally they prove to be a major pain in the backside, these are now fixed into place and the prop can easily be removed at the moment: Engine by John Rooney, on Flickr Engine & prop by John Rooney, on Flickr And finally the interior with the mock up sections in place (mocked up of course). Mock up 5 by John Rooney, on Flickr
Lets hope that the mojo stays where it is & I can finally crack on with this one. Thanks for Looking!
