perdu Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Needs a tiny tad more 'up' at the back Ced with a little bit of flat down on the rear Like this Easily done with a smear of PPP and a wet'n'dry paper wetted Just bring the very tip up a smidgeon, maybe a smidge anna quarter with a finger tip blob of PPP Simple stuff It's a very subtle curve across the upper edge But I see very great prospects ahead in my own particular hobby trend, you can make your own bits now with the rest of us nutters Carry on number one By the way this picture is of a High Speed Silver underside generation machine, d'you see the silver paint reflection shines on the Sabs 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory suggested to me that your new rudder was a bit too rounded at the trailing edge Ced, but I should have known Bill would beat me with a helpful pic to explain all! Still, nice bit of scratchbuilding & your work on the canopy is really neat too! All coming together nicely! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 4 hours ago, CedB said: Missing parts may be the reason so many people learn to scratch build so 'swings and roundabouts' I guess. Yes Ced you are right of course, but for a 15-17 years old lad then it was truly a mojo killer. Maybe some other things either. I wouldn't exclude that at all ., but that accelerated it . So only minor scratching then for me. Grown older now I became more smooth (?/ geschmeidiger) with these kind of things. Otherwise I wouldn't do my old die cast again at all. The canopy looks great. Is that Micro gloss better than Future / Erdal Glänzer? Also a nice fix on the rudder. Cheers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Simon Yes, get yourself a sihrsc file - they're cheap enough and really useful and save HUGE amounts of sanding time. 3 hours ago, perdu said: Needs a tiny tad more 'up' at the back Ced with a little bit of flat down on the rear Like this Easily done with a smear of PPP and a wet'n'dry paper wetted Just bring the very tip up a smidgeon, maybe a smidge anna quarter with a finger tip blob of PPP Simple stuff It's a very subtle curve across the upper edge But I see very great prospects ahead in my own particular hobby trend, you can make your own bits now with the rest of us nutters Carry on number one By the way this picture is of a High Speed Silver underside generation machine, d'you see the silver paint reflection shines on the Sabs Doh!

Cheers Benedikt you're right, missing parts are a mojo killer (see below) Another pain is that flippin' clock. I had been looking forward to BST so that it would finally tell the right time, but now look what's happened: Doh! by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Taken at 16:59, of course. Apparently we're now on 'DST' so I think it's gone German on me, even though it's set to 'Eng'. I think the bin may be its next home... Talking of bins... things went fairly well with the tailplanes: ... and the tanks: Tanks for the memory by Ced Bufton, on Flickr Even the front doors were a decent fit: Just a bit of sanding required. The pylons went on fine too. Then I came to fit the main gear doors: Notice anything? Yep, BOTH inner doors missing. Gaaaaahh!!! Now, a very good tip is not to throw away any of the sprues until the end of the build. Just in case you missed a bit. I learned that a while ago. Did I remember? No. Could they be in here? Bin there (tee hee). Nothing. The little aerial thing behind the cockpit's missing too, but then it's missing in Bill's photo above so I may just fill the hole if I put some PPP on the rudder. At the moment though the missing parts have killed my mojo. Also we're off for a break Thursday morning. Looks like I'm going to miss the anniversary, but it won't be by much, hopefully. Filler next, may get done tomorrow. Those wing roots should be a bit proud eh?: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hello Ced, The Sabs is the nickname for the external tanks. Diminitive for Sabrina.... When I was back home I can look for a more explicative pic, but I risk a ban... About the same is valid for the life jackets nicknamed Mae (V) West Hum... Sincerely.

Hem Alter will oftenly mean wiser... Good point however ! Hello, "geschmeidig" dosen't mean wise (klug, gebildet, erfahren, vernünftig , weise). It's more being some kind of acting more relaxed and cool to several stressing and unexpected situations, which you may have had before, but not neccessarily. Even in your daily routine. I would explain so, but I might be not really right. Cheers Edited March 27, 2018 by bbudde 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sab is a new one on me, but Sabrinas definitely, the term wasn't for the tanks, it was for the link collector bulges introduced under the forward fuselage. Hawker Hunter F.58 ZZ191 by James Thomas, on Flickr Sabrina was the screen name for model and actress Norma Ann Sykes who was particularly well known for her frontal areas! The Goon Show certainly got good mileage from them her! I will let you Google her, I'm in enough trouble as it is! Lovely progress on your Hunter there Ced.

If the explanation is back on page 3 then I apologise for not paying close attention 4 pages back, I'm fairly notorious for it, its the goldfish syndrome. Hunter coming on nicely, better check my one for parts. Steve. Edited March 27, 2018 by stevehnz 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
