Chrisj2003 Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Why do wheels take so long to get right? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj2003 Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Wheels are far from perfect but on now; a lot of fiddly stuff to attach to the underside which has taken many hours to fit, but all on now. Won't be finished today, sorry; needs touch-ups on underside then weathering then transparencies, seats, pitot, stabs, and aerials glued on top. painting radome painting seat pull handles, which are getting glued on after seats fixed in pits. I will keep posting here if allowed. Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisj2003 Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thanks @Jabba This is touch-ups done on underside now, realised the pylons will need varnish. Amazing how the camera phone distorts perspective in reals life the wheels are (roughly) parallel. Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 That's a fine effort to get it finished Chris, keep at it buddy, I look forward to seeing the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj2003 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Bang seats in; Quickboost resin; very nice; but seemed too low so I shimmed them up. 30-40 minutes to get grab handles on. Will need red paint before reveal of them. Still got 7 pieces to add and pitot will need paint and varnish on. So not much but takes time. Carpet monster ate the tiny pitot under the nose; made another one ~2mm T shape; that vanished as well, but looking for it I found the original. Matt varnish for walkways (I poached someone else's good idea) hasn't come out as an obvious differentiation from the overall satin varnish. So various delays but still enjoying this.

Chrisj2003 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Nearly there; revisited stabs after 3 months, nose paint drying. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj2003 Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 After a little set-back with the photo backboard falling on it and causing damage which lead to rework I am calling this done. Thanks for all the support and advice in this GB; without it I wouldn't have found how to model the loadout and other stuff. Will post more in RFI.
