She's had a satin coat and I'm just gonna let it dry for 24 hours before I start any weathering. 16 hours ago, RichieW said: Looks fantastic! The engine looks like it's ready to roar into life.

(ex)Sgtrafman Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hey everyone Just another small update on My Tempest I've actually managed to fit the engine to the airframe, its not the best of fit but it should do the job. To attach it I used Loctite 60 second super glue which is a kind of gel and it gave me enough time to get the motor in as good a position as I could before it was put to one side and allow to set.. And once she had been curing for about 20 minutes I took the plunge and dry fitted the undercarriage... ooops just noticed the bar that goes across the top of the engine has fallen off.. and I finished off the gun bays.. I'm going to put it to one side now and let the motor settle into its new home before I carry out the final assembly. Cheers all Iain 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Glad the engine has in okay it does look fantastic and the undercarriage looks to have a good fit if just dry fitted. Great job Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 This is a fantastic effort Iain, not my usual scale hence me needing a big catch up but I do like the big Hawkers, & this one is terrific. Nice going. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job Chris As ever thanks for the kind words mate. I’ll hopefully get her finished at the weekend and the undercarriage permanently attached 🤞 18 hours ago, stevehnz said: This is a fantastic effort Iain, not my usual scale hence me needing a big catch up but I do like the big Hawkers, & this one is terrific.
