Eccles Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Seatbelts finished. Well almost. And the bomb aimers belt which I had to cobble together from parts as it doesn't come as part of the Edouard after market set. I just neet to work out how it fits into the aircraft now. Any ideas for fitting would be most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eccles Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Sometimes you have to skip ahead in the destructions to get your hands on something big and meaty rather than playing with small, yet well tooled bits. Completed tail section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eccles Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Port side wing in position. It's beginning to look massive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eccles Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I contacted Aims Models about after market bits and thought they were quite rude. I won't be going back to them again. ps Second wing in place now. Box is nearly empty of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eccles Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Has anyone else built this kit? There is a part which goes in the wheel bay which the destructions are less that clear about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eccles Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Both wings on now. I am also starting to worry that it won't fit in the display cabinet like I thought it would. Ahhhh it will go in, I'm sure it will. The undercarriage is under construction now. Well actually, they are built and being painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin ritchie Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Its looking very imopressing indeed Might I point out that MDc also do Ju88 momb racks , as well as beautifully tooled bombs for the racks The racks are I think are £10 or so for the set of 4 MDC German bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eccles Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 I ordered the bomb racks from then earlier today. Undercarriage. Thanks to a friend for providing actual specs and technical drawings to help me work out where one of the bits went. The destructions wafted vaguely in the area for installation. The wheels could be a nightmare if I wanted them to go round due to the design, but fortunately, these will have flattened bottoms and glued in place.

Eccles Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Undercarriage in place with the addition of a hydraulic cable made from a piece of speaker cable. It would have been much easier to install the landing gear if the destructions said to do it before glueing in the engine cowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
