I added the antennas today and started on the paint While I was at it I decided to work on some other P-3s as well. The one on the box was a new build started earlier in the week but will be an RAAF aircraft so not eligible for its own thread in this GB. The other 2 are well on the way to completion and just need final tweaks before paint starts on them.

Dennis, OzMods in Australia do J model engines and props. He may just sell the props if you ask. Greg is a nice guy who has done a couple of custom jobs for me. -
Boeing 247

I will get a start on this one soon, I have a couple of others on the bench that are more of a priority -
Queen of the Skies - Boeing 707

I am slowly sorting out that wing root, it has been primed and reworked. The engines are primed as well now. There will be a bunch of masking when the wings and engines are painted because of the bare metal finish. -

lovely scheme, and a nice finish

Fantastic work Cliff, I can hear the whine of the turbo compressor and the whirring of those RR Darts as I type this.

Great result Kev. -
Thanks Mike, Well in our place in Canberra I had a good sized model room and space. We've moved the Adelaide and it is a smaller space. I will need to move things around to make space. Or just box it up and put it in the garage until I want to display it.

Queen of the Skies - Boeing 707

Cliff, there would have been a benefit if I had thought about the wing fuselage join a little better, on previous E-3 builds I added spacers in the fuselage at the wing root to reduce/eliminate the gap. I rushed it this time and did not do so and paid the price, Two steps forward, one step back. -
I dug through the stash and found the Williams Bros Boeing 247 kit. I am not a fan of either scheme in the kit, the racer or flight test article. I will see if I can find some other decal options on the net.

Slowly getting time on this after another Boomer subject (C-130) has been finished. I tried something different attaching the wings, I added the upper pieces first. It did not work to plan and I made a filling nightmare when one upper wing came off while adding the lower wing. Anyway the wing is attached and the filling and sanding has begun. The engines have been assembled and filling and sanding completed.- 34 replies
