Massimo Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Good evening mates, tonight I started adding some white in those grey interiors. As a main reference I'm using the splendid work carried out on his 1/32 kit by @hendie I started by making the curtain closing the back passage to the tail section. Then I made the certridge storag container onthe back bulkhead.This is what it looks like now. I deleted the detail on the port half fuselage. I'll make it out of styrene stips. I also filled some moulding estractor marks. Finally I decided to add some detail to the seats. This is where I got up to now. That's it for tonight. Goodnight!

Seriously though, I take that as a huge compliment coming from one as skillful and adroit as yourself Massimo. Your work over these pages has been a wonder to behold. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart tattie NOUN Scottish informal A potato. ‘a hot plate of tatties 'n' mince’ More example sentences Origin Late 18th century: alteration. Pronunciation tattie /ˈtati/ To be honest it rang a bell and I may be not to far from the truth if I say it 's the lighter portion on this wonderful dish I had one year ago in Lennoxtown....am I wrong?

hendie Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Massimo, you are correct in that in a literal sense, a tattie is a potato. However, in Scotanese, to lose the tattie means to lose the place, lose your head, or to lose your temper (it all depends on the situation). Scottish is like Cantonese - a lot of words have different meanings, it just depends upon how you say it! 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Are you going to bother with the hole under the seats? You could climb up from the cabin into the cockpit and the seat base tilted up. In SAR,the Nav normally flew in the left hand seat until arrival at the scene then he would climb down and take up duty as the winch operator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Massimo, you might want to take a look at one of my ' threads. This was in 1/48 scale so closer to what you are working with now. (I did go a little bit overboard with it) Here's the RFI thread and more useful to you (hopefully), here's the WIP thread. A lot of folks made some great contributions to help me get things right. PS sorry for polluting your thread, let me know if you want me to remove this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi Massimo, good news you found the ROTORcraft fus plug, what a silly price!!! I you would like to save some cash, cut the fuselage aft of the cabin windows on the panel line and then at the joint of the tail cone. The dimension is 21 mm but should be 27mm. When i made the master, I made up a block of styrene sheet using 1 and 2mm sheet laminated to get 27mm then attahached the fus and tailcone to the black and then say and carved away until I got back to both halves. the bottom of the fus and tailcone are flat so easy to line up. I think you may have cut too larger hole for the cabin door window but then again? Any other help you need with the Wessex, just shout. I used to work on them, long ago...

What was the seats' position in this scenario? I may add the PJ crew set ... I'll see. Anyway any suggestions are welcomed!

Colin Hi Colin, very interesting link, but I've been searching and couldn't find the item you mean... anyway, with your very important dimensions and suggestion I think I can manage it. I had already had a thought for how to do it. Any info about the interior layout for this configuratuon will be welcomed. Were there the canvas seats Hendie built? On a few pictures I've seen , from the open doors you couldn't see the seats...Were they there? Was there some medical equipement on board? Thanks Massimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good evening mates, tonight I started detailing the interiors. I decided to start from the trunking. I used the port fuselage half as a template and marked the windows' position, then I drawed the trunking's shape. I cut the trunking and filed it to the right shape, then cut the vertical part intwo positions and glued another strip of styrene at the back. It isn't finished yet, I'll file and sand it tomorrow. These are a few pictures of the building process . Fro outside in this scale, the view should be fine. Now it's time to sleep!!! Good night!

They moved up with your body weight as you climbed up and went down again when there was no weight on them. Need somebody who worked on them (Hendie or Heloman ?) to say if they could be fastened up. The hole is visible though,especially from the cabin looking up. Perhaps a black decal to give the impression of it ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'd say that although the holes/gaps/spaces are there they may have been reduced in size to cover the very thick front bulkhead wall, not too difficult to open the front of the well a bit I reckon Lovely detailing on the side wall Massimo, are you doing as much on the hidden side? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, Scimitar said: Need somebody who worked on them (Hendie or Heloman ?) to say if they could be fastened up. to be honest I cannot remember if the seats could actually be 'fastened' in the up position, though I did fix one in that position to provide a bit of visual interest that you can't see. I'm sure I've seen photo's with the pan upright and don't remember seeing any fastening device. I think the pivot point may have allowed the seat pan to remain upright, or fall on the riggers head at the most inopportune moment. internals are looking great by the way Edited January 17, 2019 by hendie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 @Hendie: ...as in old cinemas' seats!!! Thanks for the picture, I'll give it a thought! @Scimitar: the two holes under the seats are axtually there, no need for any black decal. @Perdu: I'll go for the hidden side too...even if it looks rather useless... One question mark for me is the main interior layout : From this and other pictures, you can see in the background against the back window the silouette of the side seats. I assume they were the blue ones in the picture below. Was there any first aid kit or a stretcher or in case of accident did they just pick the pilots up from the water with the crane and put theo on the floor and land immediately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
