Apparently, they are a football team whose supporters tend to live in the past, or rather specifically back in the 1970's & 80's and tend to chunter on about how they have a right to be classified as a "Top, Top, Top team". Or so you'd believe, listening to 7 drivers at work.... Edited April 24, 2018 by Tony C 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Treasure comes up with plenty of "suggestions" for how to spend my free time and I can only agree with her! I'm the one wearing trousers!!! Anyway, in the last few days I did some work on the stabilizer. Not much, but a little closer to the end of the tunnel! Liverpool's doing great versus Roma!!! Please Massimo, stay on target... don't touch AS ROMA ;-) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi Bill, been away for your builds for far too long. Windows did me a favour and shut me out of BM. I need to find out where the CEO lives... The tail work looks the biz. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massimo Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Good afternoon mates, it's been ages since I found the time and inspiration ( when I'm home,my Treasure likes to keep me inspired by some other sort of things...) Anyway last night I took my Buccaneer out and checked where I had to re-start from. Sometimes last week I reduced a little the stabilizer's lower slot, which was too wide and didn't match the rudder's shape. It does now. I also refined the back boom , which was too round. Last night I decided to start from the main wheel wells and added some piping and the sort of air conduct from the bottom of the engine tunnel to the front side of the wells. Then I decided to add the two...what are they called...???...@71chally HELP!!!! to the wings, so I cut two pieces of sprue. I also made a template to rescribe some panel lines. This morning I added some flat styrene and with the help of CA glue and... FLOUR ... shaped the two things and glued them to the wings. More CA glue , flour and sand paper and this is where I got. The pitot is wrong in shape (too thick) and I'll deal with it later. Doing it now would mean break it anyway!!! Next step was re-scribing the panel lines on both sides of the fuselage , at the front, using the styrene template I had done previously. This is going to be my preferred procedure for rescribing, from now on. That's it for now. Not much, but...something! Ciao Massimo 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hello Massimo ! Glad that you win the Flu battle ! Wow, pristine work on the Bucc ! 👏 And some inspiration for my kit, I'm now doing a decent Gyron Junior reactor... Keep up that good job. At CC home, it's not treasure but Liebchen, but they both seem to get out from the same mould.... She always has some good ideas 😈 Sincerely.

I also made a template to rescribe some panel lines. Massimo They are the wide-band homer aerials, my understanding is that they passively (ie they didn't emit a signal themselves) identify a target by working out the radar emission coming from it and could also warn of radar emissions emitting from enemy aircraft or shipping using S (shipping and land) & X (airborne) bands. The scope was on the observers port side, just aft of the main radar display. Good to see you back on the bike again Massimo, straight into some extrordinary work. You have definitely got those pod shapes sussed, and great idea with the panel rescribing. Edited May 10, 2018 by 71chally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
