Covjets13 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Evening Anthony, I hope that Auster build of yours is not the source of a crash…and it’s just a metaphorical reference to the stalled Tomb. It looks utterly breathtaking as usual. Sending regards down-under. cheers Si 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Absolutely what the other guys have said And I am keeping my fingers crossed that after all the great work you have done in this masterclass the Tamiya announcement due in a couple of days isn’t…….

Anthony in NZ Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Glued the panel on its mount and then glued into the tub. Thought I should to a test fit and make sure everything is in orientation and still in relation to everything else. pretty happy so far. Honestly I'd be happy with anything in the cockpit as I really struggle if you hadn't guessed it by all my moaning! Right-O back to the rear radar scope, ugh Cheers Anthony 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Thanks Chris, I seem to be getting there. Who knew the rear tub of an FG.1 was so different to all the others! Kerry's been beavering away on the radar scope in the back as I am just not happy with my scratchbuilding skills to do it justice. Kerry is a legend and am forever indebted to him Whilst he works on that I am trying to make sense (again) of the engine detail inside the lower aux doors and rear panel upper section Cheers guys Anthony 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony G Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Hi Antony Given the fantastic accuracy Kerry and you are producing why not up the scale and you could build a full size replica Toom. That way you could even sit in your work to appreciate it. Mind you that might extend the build time and getting the finished model out of the house could be a problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is mostly black I will use pastels and a grey/silver prismacolour pencil to accent it. Thanks guys. I am working on the foot trays and the rear panel still Hopefully show some progress soon, I had to do a little hackery on my rear tub, but all's well so far.

Anthony in NZ Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 OK so after trying to remember what I needed to do and in what order I thought I should update before I get too far ahead. Especially for those of you out there contemplating this conversion. I realized there are foot tray's/rests for the back seater so I got a little lazy and hacked them out of my Aires pit I wasnt using and modified them to be slightly thinner, taking a section from the outer edge Now this pic is to advise you Toom builders not to use the kit supplied part for the 'J' as it is different to the FG.1 and I suspect FGR.2 as well. I clipped off F23 which I suspect is for the C/D version. This will need a little modification but not too much. Also test fitting the centre canopy section (Tape on to protect the clear panel as the left is a solid panel with the periscope fitted. I also needed to sort out heights etc for the big panels in front of the back seater's instruments and navigation computer etc. This is very prominent and important to get all my sizes and angles right or the centre canopy section wont fit Here is the rear panel coming together. Still a fair bit to sort but I have the main structure and positioning/sizes are now done. I just have to add rivets, detailing and the gap in the middle is where the radar scope will go. This will be drop in fit after the tubs are glued in. Speaking of which....the rear tub is now epoxied in! Big milestone for me. Adios Amigo's, that's it till next time...thanks for tuning in Cheers Anthony 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
