Martian 👽 Thanks Martian, I think we started about the same time so in effect I have also caught up to you? G'day people, Well I have been getting back into the groove and made some good progress today, applying many of the small and fiddly exterior PE bits and pieces, Only a few more things to do sort out before I can start the painting stage, cheers, Pappy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 You seem to be a bit ahead of me Pappy. I am still slowly painting up the interior. Martian 👽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian 👽 Well no wonder you are behind if you are painting slowly Only a small update today, some PE bits have been added to the interior of the cockpit doors. They will still need the interior and exterior PE handles, but these will be added after painting and prior to attaching to the fuselage as they will be too delicate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) G'day all, Another incremental update, The cabin doors have had some attention paid to them. The kit instructions would have you sand away the delicate details provided on the insides of the cabin doors just to replace with a large brass sheet that is only a moderate improvement (at best) with all the attendant problems of gluing and alignment using CA. That seemed like a fool's errand (IMHO anyway) especially when these doors will be installed in the slid back position so any additional detail will be mostly hidden so I opted to just paint the details instead - though I did use the pre-painted window frame, emergency release lever and data placard provided in the PE set The exterior faces were dressed up with a PE window frame. I also need to add a coupe of PE handles but as with the cockpit doors, these will be added once all the painting is completed due to their delicate nature Looking at the magnified pic I have only just realised that the window frame on the left cabin door (the right one in the above pic) is actually upside down. I think I will leave it as I think removing it and re-applying will probably result is damage so the bite is not worth the chew in this instance. cheers, Pappy Edited June 27, 2020 by Pappy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) G'day people, The lower corners of the exterior cabin windows have small handles at their corners as the windows are designed to be removable in an emergency. The exterior PE set provides these however, I thought I had lost these forever and would have to scratch some replacements but luckily I was able to wrestle them back from the jaws of the dreaded carpet monster! Note- two of these are not yet attached as I only just found them! cheers, Pappy Edited June 27, 2020 by Pappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
