Took over a fortnight to go down! Nicely masked turrets there Ced! Keith Ah Keith, Yellow Fever… that's the one injected into the muscle with the thick needle - nasty memories! 11 hours ago, perdu said: I hope this helps a little (or lot, more is best) The back of the rear turret from inside (Hendon) Looks like sheet metal with doors to me [snip pic] Not sure who the chap is, looks a tad lost to me And whilst I am in the mood to share, starboard racks, loaded And ditto port And some clever interior gubbins to make movements happen I think [snip pic] And because somebody has to drive, the front from behind [snip pic] Every time I get in there I take a few pics Do take note, not every part of the walls has Green Grey paint jobs Thanks Bill, very helpful, especially the two I haven't snipped. I won't (ahem) be modelling the mechanism but the racks will get some attention 11 hours ago, hendie said: I like the period LED lamps seems awful big tins for Weetabix though - I suppose they ate healthier back then?

SD Thanks SD, kind of you Bombs are done: …and in need of some racks. The instructions say use PE8 and PE9 on both sides of the racks but… … they're numbered 8, 9, 10, 11. No worries, they're obviously pairs and my new bender made short work of the bending job: Note that one bit of PE has holes and the other doesn't. The bit with the holes goes on the side with the short racks, like this: Don't glue 8 & 9 to one rack first or, like an idiot, you'll have to rip one off and stick it on the other rack before the Gator's Thin dries. Not that you would of course. Just sayin' 11 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I really need to build one of these, I too recently visited the one at Hendon. It's A very nice aircraft and certainly one of my favourites. Other reason to build one is half of my family is from Sunderland (the place) so I kinda feel obligated to build one 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K I can do a lot of things, wife thinks I can do anything. This has led me to steam bending oak, renting excavators, bulldozers, designing and building five sets of stairs, installing pocket doors from scratch-(because the commercially available kits weren’ “pretty enough”.... If I had established I was usless early on in our relationship, I would have more kits done! I do have to admit the heavy equipment is kinda fun. If you ever need therapy, “bulldozer” is the answer.

I know what you mean about the heavy equipment though - for my 40th I hired a little digger and had great fun smashing up the driveway. 54 minutes ago, limeypilot said: I thought I'd done well installing a pocket door kit with no previous experience of doing anything similar. Hat doffed... Ian You have doors on your pockets? Impressive! A surge of mojo. Rack painting started and bombs prepared: Then sprayed: Of course the airbrush needed cleaning first. I know I've done more than one coat on one of these but I've forgotten which so they both got another dose of Klear in the trenches: As I found that quite therapeutic I started on the fuselage: …but, of course, half way through it ceased to be therapeutic and started to be a pain. Pressed on though and completed the first pass. Later chaps. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall, however, be bouncing around the country with some American friends soon so I'm sure there'll be fun introducing them to local accents… had great fun teaching a Southern Belle to say 'Er threw my boik in the cut' a few years ago 13 hours ago, perdu said: Does the above mean you went and painted dad again Ced? Not yet Bill but I think, once I get the racks in and check his pose, he'll be ready for final touch ups. Sorry, that sounds wrong as it's your Dad No Sunderland this morning. I've been playing with this: … to make sure I can get suitable photos of the requested cockpits on our tour. I remembered that the Coolpix has a remote control app on the iPhone so tried taking a shot of the top of 'T Tommy' on the ceiling: Seems to work OK. I just need to remember to loop the strap around the stick - don't want to lose it in the bowels of something expensive. Hoping to get shots at Boscombe, Midlands museum has promised to open their Sea Vixen if it's not raining and we have some steps arranged to get pictures of the rear cockpit of the Javelin at Duxford. Fingers crossed! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'm sure he wouldn't want any antipodean arachnid visitors though Big problem with hungup models though, dust is inevitable I even get the stuff inside my large plastic carry boxes although they get advertised as being underbed storage 😱 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'm sure a selfie stick will have a feather duster attachment (but probably USB-C not Thunderbolt...). Regards, Adrian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
