perdu Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 If you believe that... But I get the gist If we needed proof that Ced hasn't been himself these days we just got it I have been busy in the office Straps from the Airwaves Whirlwind set, but badly let down in macro by the crap paint I need to use, still needs must Controls in so far from left to right Co-pilot's collective, pilot's collective with extra switch wiring (not on port side for some reason) and right is auxiliary (emergency?) hydraulics pump handle At the front I see that there are some pieces of the pedal pivots still requiring a tad of paint Next is the overhead control panel with added switchery and gaugerising from the fabulous Re-heat switches set (please somebody start re or not re-producing these wonderful detailing assistants again) Dry brushing will bring out the bling next, they really do add proper dimension to the panels You will see I decided to go with the controls as in service and hence have added to lower ip floor to the bubble Which leaves me adding next the ip and coaming And a gratuitous shot from outside, through a forest of Tamiya tape Remember if you will that this image comes to you courtesy of zoom magnification My eyes don't look anywhere near this closely And anything you see that is not yellow will be grey over a black initial spraying to colour the interior (if it is yellow now I hope desperately that it will be clear after treatment) 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomoshenko Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Well Bill it appears you have adapted well to the current lockdown and working at home requirements. Your output is efficient and of high quality. PS the belts look great, I don't see any issues with the paint. 21 minutes ago, perdu said: I have been busy in the office 22 minutes ago, perdu said: Remember if you will that this image comes to you courtesy of zoom magnification Reference my point above, anything magnified always looks worse than it actually is, though I always say you can't beat a good wet shave... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody in the U.S. understands cricket, but if it were baseball, he might be saying "It's a high fly ball into center field."

I have one set already, but am always looking for more. Doesn't Hannant's own the rights to these? Maybe we should lobby for a re-release. I've even thought about trying to cast them in resin (for my own use, not for re-sale). Edited March 29, 2020 by Space Ranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
