Massimo Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Lovely work on those legs!!! Nice to see you back on this project!!! I've done some work on my PR9 too!!! This topic is very inspiring and I'll use it as a guideline for the detail on the flaps and other area which should be the same on the PR9.

Our thanks to the member from Singapore for his sage advice. Never mind, I have to tidy the Martian cave today so hopefully it will turn up. Of course, the minute it does, I will start working on the model and forget all about tidying the cave until the next time I am down to two square inches of space left on the bench. Plus ca change!  Martian 👽 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Martian found his references and there was great rejoicing. Uncannily, it was, as @DonH predicted, in the last place I looked. Spooky or what? (In best Scooby Do voice) If it wasn't for those pesky kids, I would have found it and had the job done ages ago. I did have to tidy my desk at least as even I have to accept that a 1/48 scale Canberra wing is never going to fit onto the two inch square clear space that remained.  I worked on the retraction mechanism for the main undercarriage and made a couple of jacks from some Albion Alloys tubing. when these were attached to the rest of the kit part, the retraction mechanism did not want to sit in the correct place as indicated by Airfix. Much head scratching ensued until the penny dropped that Airfix had the mechanism attaching to the wheel bay roof, rather than the wing main spar as in real life. Once I had realised this and modified the kit parts, things dropped into place nicely.  Next I began plumbing the retraction in. I got the starboard wing done but the work was rather fiddly and was beginning to give me a headache so I shall resume work on the pot wing on the morrow.  Thanks for looking.  Martian 👽    16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gents, the plumbing was a real pig to do. Its only representative but it should suffice. I sure as hell ain't doing it again; well apart from the other wing that is!  Martian 👽 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
