STRAT'71 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 I have selected only one. It shows a tick, so what do I look for now?

Bertie McBoatface Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 click the embed button of your choice and a sidebar opens Select picture size. Do NOT select 'include html tags' as this makes it post a link not a picture. Copy the url code from the box and paste it into BM
Terry1954 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Have had a good catch up here (a break from building composters in the garden), and i must say thus U/C bays look superb Matt. Terry
STRAT'71 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) does it work? not quite.😖 Edited August 1, 2021 by STRAT'71

STRAT'71 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Why can’t this be straightforward like posting on Facebook? I’ve tried iPhone and Android. No thing called embed.

Thanks Terry.👍 A bit more work required on the bays (and a lot more on the intakes…!) then the wing top will be glued into position. Not much progress this week; I will get back to this one soon🙂 1
STRAT'71 Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Is it missing the two struts(shock absorbers) holding the door? I see no parts or references to them.

If you mean the upper leg fairing doors (the trapezoidal ones) then yes. Funnily enough @avro683 were looking at XM594’s yesterday and, to be perfectly honest, it appears to.be a relatively easy job to add your own. I know we expect the kit manufacturers to do this for us these days but sometimes these things fail the bean counters’ cost/benefit calculations. Incidentally they’re not in the old kit either......

STRAT'71 Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Probably missed in the scan. Funny how all the detail you can’t see is present. 1 1
darthspud Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Built the original in the 80's whilst at BZZ. Far too fiddly for my old fat fingers.

The doors are there, they need to be fitted before the undercarriage legs. What’s missing are the rods connecting the doors to the legs. There’s one either side of each leg.

Neither kit supplies retraction jacks for the crew access door, which is odd as they are rather substantial. Unfortunately when @stever219 and I were there yesterday the crew access door was shut so I couldn’t take any pictures. The museum are hoping to start aircraft cockpit tours soon.

Fortunately easy to make, but from the photographs I have found I cannot determine the attachment points inside the entry.

Back in the Saddle Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 Funnily enough, those struts were included in the old tool version of the kit! At least they are easy to add on, but should really have been included... I'm still working on the intakes, which have now had a couple of hours of filling and sanding. They need yet more work! As promised on @Andy350's thread, I mentioned making some templates for the upper surface camouflage. Here they are - help yourself to a download if they help. They should all be A4 sized and ready to use; just right click on any link and save it to your computer, then print it out and cut as required. Here are the thumbnails showing the templates, with the links underneath: Fuselage sides and tail fin templates http://www.matthamptonphotography.com/bm/avulc/temp1.jpg http://www.matthamptonphotography.com/bm/avulc/temp2.jpg http://www.matthamptonphotography.com/bm/avulc/temp3.jpg Wing upper surface templates: http://www.matthamptonphotography.com/bm/avulc/temp4.jpg http://www.matthamptonphotography.com/bm/avulc/temp5.jpg http://www.matthamptonphotography.com/bm/avulc/temp6.jpg Nose upper surface: http://www.matthamptonphotography.com/bm/avulc/temp7.jpg I have printed a couple as a test and compared them with the model to check the dimensions. Here's the tail fin: And the right hand wing: If you notice any errors, please let me know. Hopefully these will be useful to you.👍 10 7
