Thanks Leon 1 hour ago, rob85 said: Shame about that step Ced but you have attacked with vigor, good on you! Looks like you have saved the day. Rob thanks Rob - I think it's gone now, fingers crossed! 1 hour ago, Spookytooth said: Ced makes more saves than Gordon Banks... Simon. Cheers Simon, very kind! Tailplanes on: When you're sitting on the sofa and you get the urge for a bit of rigging, best to get it done before the urge fades: That's the last! Tailwheel painted and re-attached too. Now it's just touch ups, fitting the pressurisation prop, lights and door handle and then she's done! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 That looks very promising and a good rework. Although stiil a strange aircraft to me. But that is not of any interest here as long as you like it! Cheers and good night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks very much gents Terribly small bits this morning. The blasted pressurisation prop needs to go about here: Of course when I tried to drill a hole for it the wing halves split open, despite the fact that I thought I'd put extra glue there. Ho hum. It's fitted now: I had a list for other bits. Having done the nav lights and fitted the red lights top and bottom AND the whip aerial (hairbrush bristle glued a la Stew with Kristal Klear) it was out with the alloy tube for the pitot: Sorry about the photo - the dangly bit is a slice of dried green stuff I keep in the box (never know when it might come in). Rear light and rudder balance: They need painting blue. Touch ups and then RFI / Gallery later methinks. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Upper wing join perfectly sorted, I see Loving the small bits, this is turning into a real masterpiece of yours! Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks Giorgio Finally, in the Gallery. Thanks to everyone who's stuck with this and provided support, help and company - it's really appreciated. This has to be one of my longest builds. I guess it's mainly the figures and the blue, oh the blue! Before I get back to Jason, some shots I didn't use in the gallery, just for you guys: Close up of the pitot: Door handle - look, see it? Two part insane PE: I'm going to have some lunch now and then a lie down. Tired after all that fiddling. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Well done Ced, you deserve a lie down after this build. It was a tough little bugger but you beat it. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hello Ced, My apologies for missing much of the build, I will catch up on it. Too many 'day patient' hospital visits, little opportunity for lovely stuff like internet and modelling. You've turned out a lovely Rapide. !! "That blue"?? Well, it looks gorgeous , A month or so for you is quite a long one, but for people like me, given you've done rigging and 'people'; it's quite amazing. Great work Ced, a lovely model TonyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
