Hello Dears,

Well, back at the boomy....

Someting was wrong in the cockpit, I was feeling a lot of problems coming....

So...

IMG_20210627_213314

I will lower the backseat armour plate a bit...

When I look at pics of the real thing, I see something wrong in the destructions....

Perhaps @Dunny can enlight me about that ??

Hi CC,

 

Not sure if your destructions show this step?

It's a while ago now, but I think I remember carving a bit off the armour so it would fit better? :mental:

 

HTH,

Thank for the help.

That's a good start CC, but this one might drive you to seeing pink elephants of Delirium Tremens!!!

 

Just a word of advice - ignore the instructions and paint all the internal parts silver. Wirraways had no "interior green" on them, despite what the good folks at Special Hobby say...

But the Wirraway fuselage fabric was painted with aluminium dope, so no red dope on the inside of a Wirraway!

 

Also the wheel wells are silver too! Inside of the cowl too...

Thank you so much @Derek_B

It will be corrected....

I'm back, with my old desktop, 9 years old but with a new hard drive..... 

While a let the paint cures on the Wirraway, I started to correct this....

Just to figure out that the destructions are wrong and contradictatory...... :tumble:

 

IMG_20220813_220811

I get it all out and restart it from scratch.....

Doing and doing it again is still working......

And an old Africa saying prove the point....

N'zjia wa Nioka ni ku telemuka.....

Snake did'nt go straight way.....

See you soon...

Sincerely.

Lovely work on the Boomerang cockpit CC! 

Another tip for the Boomer: The panel inside the small rear windows (parts E9 and E10) should be painted matt black. This is not mentioned in the SH colouring scheme anywhere (not camouflage colour, and definitely not cockpit green).

Hello Gents !!

We are going to make our best to finish an Aussie this year...

Grumpffff....

I've dismantled the interior...

Corrected the wrongly placed parts.... Damn destructions.....:mg:

So far, now, the fuselage can be buttoned up...

IMG_20221030_233624

Now..... Adjusting the rear bulkhead....

More fun down the pipe Gents !!

I forget about the Corsair of the year, I'll make 2 next year....

Have a great and fruitful modelling week....

Sincerely.
