TonyG Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) As I signed up for the group build I though I'd better get started. Progress on day 1. Belts need a bit of a tidy up with paint Edited May 27, 2012 by TonyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyG Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Argh! Not long left now. Build stalled for quite a while due to other things, but it's back on the bench. Cockpit installed, weight packed in the nose, now working on the bomb bay. Pics soon (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyG Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Well, finally made some progress over the Bank Holiday... Bomb Bay, had a bit of a problem in that I only had half of one of the struts left on the sprue. No biggie, raid the spares box and use some leftover bits. Of course, once I'd got it all in and painted, I then found the missing strut half... on the carpet! What are the chances of that? http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8300/7883257698_f518b2f3a1_b.jpg[\img] Fuselage interior - lots of old screws and bits of metal glued in the nose, held there with filler too. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8305/7883257220_b884587c6d_b.jpg[\img] And where it is now. Fuselage closed, exhausts done, intakes done and in the wings, wheel wells also in the wings. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7137/7883252972_f31ee5af4e_b.jpg[\img] Realistically I don't think I'll finish it in time, but hey, I'm a 'glasss is half full' person so you never know. Agh! What happened with the pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VG 33 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That is nice. Now you are just ahead of some sanding time. I'm looking forward. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike N Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well, if you don't finish it in time (!) then I hope you'll continue to share the build in the WIP area of BM Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyG Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Overly optimistic to the last, but I still didn't manage to get her completed. Just put the glue away but it's a bit late to start taking pictures tonight so if it's allowed, I'll get up the final set tomorrow . I will continue with the build so she will be finished soon.

TonyG Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Final set of pics for the GB - sadly unfinished due to having to get ready for my Nidan grading (I passed!). But I will continue with her. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8174/7924771910_071f6a8864_b.jpg[\img] http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8172/7924771264_71babe3d58_b.jpg[\img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
