Tomoshenko Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Coming along nicely Bill. I've just returned from a holiday so catching up with things. Also there is a party round at Tony's (TheBaron) while he's on holiday as you know, so it's busy busy busy summer season for us Britmodellers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Nice to see you too Bill and thanks for tracking down my sister - she had gone out the other door and THEN they were inside the Argosy! It's great museum and shop and I must go back and spend more time looking at the exhibits without the distraction of the plastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you realise she might have disappeared into the depths of the Vulcan's innards  Takes hours to disembowel folks from in there, all that stuff inside a space the size of an Escort van...  😨  Really good catching up again Ced, let's have more of these BM club meetings huh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that this 'normality' doesn't reap havoc with the new implant they installed when you were 'home' The model they fitted to me had to be replaced after I was overheard discussing building a target tank.  Anyway as usual we digress..what was he building again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Semantics  Are a bi*ch huh   Whilst I was stoking the fire having a drink round at Tony's awaydays party somebody mentioned the oft entertained fable that this model is having bent upwards wings  feerrrget it kids, this one is to be displayed with folded airbrakes    And drooped flaperons  Here is a part way explanation of what''s to be  Here we have the inner (unbendable) bit of wing with the flaps cut out, the etchystuff on the airbrake petals, undercoated wheel bays and the basic ejection seat in progress  A other view ditto  For the etch I'm trying and hoping for results, Gator's Grip white stuff  If it fails Gator Glue (brown) will get a call to duty as advertised nearby  Those wingtips need attention, flaperons too  The lower wing sections will be getting seriously sharp chamfering to allow the blown effect surfaces to droop  The flap inner wall will be filled first thing tomorrow, then smoothed off and the wings assembled to suit, ready to be fixed to the engine 'sponsons' when the fuselage gets closed up  I will be getting a couple of Vallejo greys to see how close I can get to Light Admiralty Grey in their stinkless paint prior to dashing some in under the landing gear units and wells  Trying 70-907 and 70-997 which give close 'looking' matches on a google search 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Some nice carvery work going on there Bill   It's going to look great with your cut out bits in place and drooping.  I can't help thinking that there was a better way to write that  .  Best regards TonyT   3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 "It's going to look great with your cut out bits in place and drooping."  Hmm, shall we leave it just THERE?   I can think of far worse changes to that than the original  4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nice details Bill. The airbrakes and wheely wells are gonna look great when painted and dabbled with a wash. PS see you round at Tony's later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
