TheBaron Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 2 hours ago, 71chally said: Here ya go, 'Four burnin' six turnin' and - wtf is that hanging underneath!!!!?' A B-58 airframe? Actually on second glance it's only four turning isn't it as the inboard props seem to have been removed to accommodate the delta wing of the payload? Please don't think my posts are getting terser from now on but the huge emoji panel in the last update keeps crashing my tablet and is so spasmodic in Chrome on the laptop that I can't be bothered with them any more. Tonight's update comes courtesy of Echo & The Bunnymen: All control surfaces have now been detatched - barring the rudders which look as if they will be quite effective enough if I just deepen the mould lines a little more starkly with the scalpel: The inboard flaps: Ailerons and outboard flaps: I'm not sure whether it's strictly necessary to go further and divide the inner & outer ailerons as well - the aircraft will be in level flight at this point and a little scoring with the scalpel (as per the rudders above) will be sufficient to express the demarcation between them. I'm pleased to say that my erstwhile Nemesis was not as much of a problem as previously feared: A combination of Stanley blade along the leading edge of the elevator and a scalpel held very close to the tip of the blade to score out the angled returns allowed these to separate nice and cleanly in the end. In relation to the earlier discussion with Pete and James regarding the logic behind those angled returns, it seems clear that that they provide necessary clearance if left or right rudder is applied with the elevator deflected upwards: Pleased with how sharply those detachments turned out in the end so it just remains to clean those parts up now and look at rebuilding any necessary mountings and mouldings involving them. 'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me.' I feel a need to dig out Rebecca and read it again - reading Daphne du Maurier in my youth always seemed to produce such incredibly vivid dreams afterwards about particular locations I remembered in the West Country & Cornwall - wonder does it still work? Incredible woman.... Tony 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Lovely, neat cuts on some very complex geometry! It can't just be the blades ... Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Excellent cuts, the choicest parts from the carcass. Very neat and straight! Before you get in to those hinge cutouts of the flying control surfaces take some time looking at pics. They look razor saw thickness in 72nd. http://aircraftwalkaround.hobbyvista.com/c119/c119.htm Note that the elevator hinge point is a little way back from the leading edge, I would say roughly where that first line back from the LE is on the kit part. Yes, indeed that is the XB-58 Hustler being ferried under the Peacemaker and well spotted with the inboard props!

The elevator detail here is superb from this angle: Thou canst see the hinge point clearer here - 'F' - in this excerpt from the parts manual: Looking at that overhead photo more closely I'm also reconsidering not cutting off the rudders - the kit hinge points are noticeably too thick compared to the ones shown here and it might be a good opportunity to correct that with the brass work. 13 hours ago, 71chally said: Yes, indeed Well, I do have a Hustler in the stash that could be modified, so all I have to do now is to find a B-36 going for a fiver on the 'bay and that's that sorted. Last one I lurked over went for a 1/72 scale national debt, so short of a charity shop find in Dorset this summer it might take a while! I'm going to haul the carcass out of the scratcher later and cut those rudders I think - meant to be in Dublin today but struck down by a dose of the manthrax caught from my youngest who thoughtfully distributed it to Mrs.B and myself. He of course is now hale and hearty but still needs training-up in making strong cups of tea and being a teenager, unreliable in matters of sympathy...

perdu Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Lots of lovely scope for hinge and indeed bracket making on the elevators there Tony, plentiful reasons for putting off the end on this tour-de-force YIPPEE Er can you tell I am reluctant to open this next can of worms? I just don't know how to tell you this mate I've simply let you down, badly So very badly Look, we all know I promised you I had a redundant Spitfire and V1 set That there is no chance I will ever need, but I turned it out this morning just before a trek to Sandiacre to celebrate our son's birthday (no dummy, not you and I with a son, my wife and I. Gor blimey some people...) Anyway, er where was I? Erm? Oh yes OK The Spitfire kit! I'm devastated, so sorry to be letting you down but it appears I don't have the kit after all Well, OK I do have it but the destructions have disappeared along with the rear two parts of the three part canopy (It is a Frog kit, they were good at that stuff) I mean How can I expect you to tackle this without the instruction sheet? Gutted I am mate I mean, just look at this I'm so sorry Anyway truly sorry, I'll probably just throw it away All it's good for really, shame... Look I seem to have devastated the transfer sheet too Anyway I expect somebody will be able to help you out, this is such a great place 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
