Pappy Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 G'day Oliver, That is very nie work indeed. I believe that the cabin floor was fitted with a load spreader, essentially a plywood doubler to protect it as it was suseptible to damage. Although the kit supplied cabin floor is nicely detailed (and no doubt you will do your usual exeplary job in binging out all that detail) I don't believe it would be accurate. cheers, Pappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Oliver, Sorry, I don't have any of my own but I think that these are shown in the 4+ book if you have access to it. It essentially covers the cabin floor whith cut-outs for the tie down points, It may alos be worth a look through the roatry aircraft walkarounds here and places like Prime Portal? cheers, Pappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think too many people will actually notice because of the distratcing eye candy above the floor 😊 cheers, Pappy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonH Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Excellent work as always, I enjoy watching your wizardry with plasticard. How thick was the plywood doubler? In this scale, a bit of clever trickery could replicate the look without adding to the thickness. With the sides on, not a lot would be visible to blow the illusion. But don't listen to me, all I can do is stick bits of a kit together and am grateful if I don't get glue fingerprints all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The work you are doing is cRaZy good. Totally inspiring me to make the MB Mk4 seat for my upcoming Venom build. If it’s not rude, how did you make the seat cushion? Is it hollow? So bits of card to make a box? Thanks for any info. I’ll tag along if you don’t mind this awe inspiring stuff. 🙌 Johnny.

shark 64 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Help Wessex pros !! Is this a door that opens or an escape hatch.? Edited March 31, 2020 by shark 64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That window is removable in the event of emergency. There's a black rubber strip (with infill) around the window and a webbing handle is attached to it - pull the webbing and the rubber infill pops out as does the window. This is from my 1/48 build a few years ago The door handle looking thing is actually the stop for the sliding door. The kit supplied PE is naff so I built my own - Fly also have it in the wrong location 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
