  1. Sorry but still having probs with Flikr photoshare.It seems to me that anyone can go to your photos from the link at the bottom of the picture .....and then simply delete/change/and add your own pics etc..........please don't think of doing it!!! its just not good enough!!I'll have to sort something out else this is the end of this build in this forum! Cheers Fozzy
  2. Heres a picture of the Carousel painted and installed...........
  3. Im having real problems with Photobucket so I signed up with Flikr and I don't know if this is going to work but I'll give it a go...... Carrying on with the Gunners compartment I made the Ammo Canister Carousel.As usual this was made out of plastic card.....now to try and download photo from Flikr Well that seemed to work,if not a bit messy with numbers and letters at the bottom(if only we could just tag from the computer)
  4. Does anyone know how to post pics from FLIKr onto this forum?..its driving me mad because Photobucket dos't seem to work anymore!!can anyone help please?

  7. These photo's show the map table painted and the Gunners seat in position. Will post more photo's later, Bye Fozzy
  8. The next task was making the Gunners seat.I built it in the folded away position.A couple of pics.Firstly looking up from underneath the seat..... and now a shot from the top of the seat.. At about the same time I made the Map table out of plastic and placed it in position
  9. You can see in these next few shots that I have done some work in the rear area(if you pardon my expression ) This is where the Machine Gun is stowed when not in use and there is a shelf where the ammo can carousel goes........... also in this pic you can just see the Radio electric board installed.Here is another view of the work done..... In this next shot you can see the TR9D Radio installed on the bottom shelf
  10. So now I have packed my wife off to U.K its time to get down to this thread!! Yesterday I talked about the crap plans and the problems relating to it today we will forget about that and continue I made some more equipment for the rear section,firstly the Radio electrical board which will fit on the starboard wall.The usual materials were used....plastic and wire Heres a pic when it was painted I also made a fire extinguisher.............
  11. Hi there Dr GN Firstly thanks very much for the pics, I can use them as I go along with this build and as for your question ref my Lysander the answer is quite simple really.Since the age of about 8 years old I have been making model kits and as I got older I wanted more of a challenge and so about 3 years ago I took up Scratch Building all my aircraft.I could have used the Matchbox Lysander but I knew this build would be a toughy and I guess I wanted to see if I could do it by entire Scratch Building.I guess time will tell I had the Airfix 1:24 scale Stuka and Spitfire from years ago so thats why I didn't entirely scratch build them. I'm rambling on a bit now so I'll stop .....hope this answers your question!!!! cheers Fozzy
  12. Cheers Campbell.....nice of you to say that the real Lizzie's Wheel Spats look like they have had a few bumpy landings but your initial thoughts were correct.....my wheel spats are rough and ready!!! but yes I'll keep on trucking....and my missus has got one of those Rusky hats!!not suprissing I guess as we live in Bulgaria! Cheers to Mish Fozzy
  13. ...........and then applied all the paint work.Here is the finished article.......... Now I have to pack my Wife off back to the U.K for a week!,So I will have plenty of time all week to catch up to get to where I am at the moment with this build...... Bye for now Fozzy
  14. Hi every one,that was a hell of a lot of bloody housework! This is where this whole project went in the trash can!!!....its my own fault....you see I didn't spend enough time on finding good plans for this scratch build,I got them off the Internet and the plans dated back god knows how long!! and everything was going fine untill it came to scratch building the cockpit areas.The area for the Gunner/Navigator just didn't look right!.....so after a few days with my knife and glue in hand I think I have rectified it to the best of my abilities!!but I'm sure the experts amongst yourselves can see many a flaw!! ..............Well at least I'm honest!I could of kept my mouth shut and just winged it!! Any how for those of you who are still interested after that"Bombshell"!!...........heres how I made the TR9D Radio that fits in the back on a shelf... First I cut out of plastic card the shape of the Radio...... ..........and then I glued on all the dials and switches.............
  15. The Fuel Tank as I said fits just behind the Pilot and this pic shows you it in place with a frame work above which will take the Map Table at a later stage.. I have been collered to do some work around the house so will post later on!!! Fozzy
  16. After Lunch we will get the tank into place and make a start on the Navigator/Gunner's position Fozzy
  17. Here is the Fuel Tank before painting........... ....and after painting.You can see that I have added a fuel guage at the front end but havn't put the filler neck on at this stage,I will do that later....
  18. Morning everyone! I had to make a fuel tank to fit just behind the Pilots back (nice ),so I got out my plastic scrap box ,drew a template for the tank and cut the parts out... These parts were glued together to get the shape..... A strip of plastic card was then cut to size for the outer part of the tank........ ....and then glued to the structure.......
  19. Hi Edgar Thanks for the info,I think you might be right about the colour of the belts!!I'll get it right next time! Cheers Fozzy
  20. Thanks awfully chaps for your kind remarks!!Your all so lovelly Cheers men!! Fozzy....in 40 degrees heat in Bulgaria!
  21. On this shot you can see the rear end of the panel with the gun sight frame work attatched (made from garden twine) So thats the Pilots position complete.The next installment will be the making of the fuel tank. Christ I hope your not all bored with this Fozzy
  22. On the actual aircraft you can see the back of the Instrument Panel so I did some work there with the use of my handy scrap wire box!! This whole unit was then glued into place in the cockpit...here's some pics.........
