Shorty84 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi Marklo, your build has really come a long way. It is really inspiring to see how it comes together, made from nothing else than plastic card and a lot of determination. Can't wait to see how the engines turn out. Cheers Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Filler on the wings. Just one rigging wire and two control wires left. Two plastic assemblages not entirely unlike Anzani ten cylinder radials. Just need the cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds. Broke out my little lathe and managed to get a fair semblance of fins on spruce so they will be sliced up and attached. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Props from the spares box. Cylinder heads and manifolds as well as a coat of dark iron. The crank cases look dark on my photos so I’ll either leave them this colour or possibly paint them black, but in any photos that f the engine I can find they’re bare aluminium hmm.., 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 After checking my photos again I changed my mind on the crankcases and painted then aluminium. Just need to paint the prop bosses and give the props a coat of clear orange. Working away in the struts and final cleanup on track to scrape the weekend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Lots of things done. Roundels, rear glazing a lot of cleanup. Tail skid added. Just the missing struts general strut cleanup and a few missing rigging wires left. Oh and of course got the engines. I Need to decide if I’m going to fit the Davis most of the photos show it unarmed, and make one if I do decide.

Marklo Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Engines on. Struts finished and painted. Fix the rigging, make a spotlight and a Davis gun and it’s just about done. And the roof rack and gun mounts. Edited March 13, 2021 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Searchlight and roof rack ( it’s actually the mounting for the Davis gun) added as well as props attached. Lewis mounts and the Davis gun next then just a little rigging repair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) No photo but I have now got everything bar the three guns on the bus, so notwithstanding completing the Davis ( which is almost there), just a tiny bit of assembly and some minor paintwork left Edited March 13, 2021 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
