stevehnz Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I'm going to throw my hat into the ring with this one, I had plans to do it for a P-40 build a couple of years ago, got it as far as the wings then realised I'd made a mess of gluing them, there was no ledge where the lower wing parts fitted against the flaps/ailerons at the back of the lowers so they went far too deep into the wing. I kicked for touch on that, I was tight for time anyway (who me??!! 😮 ) I've since pried/sliced the wings apart & ready to give it another go. This was the start shot that never got put up for the P-40 build, I hadn't even got around to starting a thread for that, I don't think.

stevehnz Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Turns out I was a bit further along than I thought when I rummaged through some images. & even further than that by the rubbing down that was evident when I dug out the plastic box it was interred in a bit later. This gives an idea of where I got to less the dismembered wing. The other I couldn't separate without risking some terminal damage. At close of play today, the wings reglued, a sliver of plastic card in a hole sliced in the right wing leading edge & a bit of tension to try & hold the dihedral somewhere near right. I'm hoping I can move this along quite quickly but with just over 3 weeks to the end of Ragnar's Rock Nordic GB, I'll concentrate in my wee Finnish Hawk till I see the end of that in sight.

Graham Boak Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I've got one at about that stage: I thought it would make a good use for one example of the Tuskagee transfer sheet I've got. Waste not want not, you know, not that it would make much of a dent in the two shoeboxes of spare transfers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 A good idea Graham, this one is destined to get the OD/NG prototype finish but I've another put away which I though would look good in a 112 sqn finish . I'll see how this one goes first, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Looking like this one isn't going to make it, I'm too tied up with a couple of GB builds, Matchbox & F-18, so will do some more when the opportunity presents itself. Kuta 2025? Sorry all. Steve. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
