RocketSurgeon Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hi peter. Have considered contacting Heller for replacement parts??? My fuselage is also warped in the tail but i will be folding the tail so no problem there. I was looking at the cabin area today about the padding. I think i will cutting rectangle pieces of styrene and use that as padding material....just like my photos. The main headache will be detailing the transmission,engines and all the goodies about the cargo area. Glad to hear u like the Lynx.. Oliver To be honest, that never occured to me as an option. Thanks for the tip! I've dropped them a mail, hope they still have parts for such an old kit. I dug out my kit and have been test fitting parts together... Man, what a beast! I thought I would never finish it, but now I'm quite determined to start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketSurgeon Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I was going to watch your build for ideas! Do you know a good source for reference pictures? It seems to me that there were different padding/coverage solutions. Are you planning to use the large radome? I think it's incorrect oob, needs to be longer and positioned much lower. There are so many rivets on the fuselage. Do you have any trick to replace the ones that may vanish in the building process? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Oliver, I can't help thinking you should have carried on with the Lynx. I have two build threads underway on BM and am finding it very difficult to get back to both of them. I do hope you do not have the same problem.

phildagreek Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 It's funny isn't it? You know the moment you've lost interest & to carry on will be a waste of time & material. Much better that you recognise what's happened & pack it away for another day. Good luck with this interesting subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil AS Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nice cockpit Oliver, more rivets than a Sunderland on that airframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark 64 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Working on cargo area and ramp. Ramp has a nasty gap all the way around so some filler needed. Adding details for cargo floor...i know much wont be seen when fuselage is closed. Oliver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
