Patrik Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Thank you! Heading into the last turn before the home straight. Quite a busy quarter in the undercarriage area. Edited January 16, 2022 by Patrik 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Two posts a day are not usual for me, but I think I need to share my weekend's work. Including the lesson "how to make K4134 from K4164 in 5 easy cuts". The more observant of you may have noticed only one exhaust pipe. The reason is that yesterday I managed a) breaking the other one, b) f...ing up the fix. Fortunately, I still have two boxes of Spanish Vildebeests, which contain said pipes, not needed for the Spanish version. So now it is one pipe from the start again. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 There's some very neat work going on here Patrol. It's looking better with each update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Thank you all! Exhaust pipes. In the end the solution for the problem of symmetry (posted on December 26th) was rather easy. The pipes had been slightly shorter than needed, so they were extended and then it was my turn to ensure that the outlets point to the right direction on both fuselage sides. And yes, these two parts should definitely be used the other way round, I am sure about it now. Well, and I am almost ready for the RFI, after a few final touches. Let us hope for nice outdoor photography weather next weekend. Edited January 22, 2022 by Patrik 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 That is great work @Patrik. I think you are right about the front parts of the exhausts, I seem to remember having to swap mine too. A lovely addition to your biplane collection. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've come across any at all. On 11/21/2021 at 8:28 PM, Patrik said: To be honest, not a single one. Though most of the Vincent photos show the bomb racks present. Correction. Yesterday, as I was tidying up after completing the build, I decided to scan my Vildebeest/Vincent magazine articles before putting them back in the paper archive. And surprise, surprise, look what I found in Aeroplane Monthly from May 1979. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
