Hi all

 

A bit more done on the cockpit 

 

 

A quick test of the bang seats and just about got away with it and it all fits.

Looking good. It’s a great kit this one. After the office the rest comes together rather quickly. Glad you’re giving it the love she deserves. Those seats look the business in place too. 🤩

Thanks Johnny, yes although maybe I should have gone with some smaller kits for the GB 😄 I have a few sub assemblies already done so hopefully will go together quicker then !!!

Thanks

That’s excellent work Chris. It’ll all show up rather nicely under that large clear and opening canopy. Excellent stuff. 

Cheers.. Dave

Thanks Steve, very kind fella, it's all cemented in the now together fuselage halves, wahoo.

Hi all

 

I have been doing some work on this one,  cockpit finally in the fuselage, work is underway on the rear jet pipe, Arrestor hook fairing as very bare as it comes

 

 

Some weight in the nose

 

Wings together

 

 

sorting the sink marks and intakes lined with plasticard,  the wings have taken a few evenings work and still need more, I have fettled them against the fuselage and they now fit very well

 

Cannon bareels added along with new front undercarriage bay roof, not too accurate but better than the flat roof provided. Now all glued in to fuselage 

 

 

This is progressing well too, I need to try and find some images of the radio fit and might add the canvas roof over the cab

 

 

Thanks for looking in.

Chris, this is coming along very well indeed. I don't know how I missed this project, so I do apologise. It was a wonderful catch-up. The cockpit looks the biz, you have worked wonders in there.

 

All the best with the rest of the build,

No worries Ray, thank you for your kind words,  pleased with the cockpit and it's certainly speeding  up now.  At the moment is fill, sand and repeat in Sink Mark city!!!

Thanks

Hi all

The air intakes have had some work , they don't look bad but are slightly wrong with the air vanes at the wrong angle, so I added some thinner plasticard behind 

 

 

Once that was set I carved away the front of the vanes to look a bit more like the real thing, below the bottom one has been done, 

 

 

And both done, the nick at the bottom of the inner vane on the lower one is being repaired with CA and Talc as is easily carved with a scalpel 

 

 

Pleased with these. I can move onto scribing the panel lines on the wings and building up the surround to the arrestor hook bay and then will assemble the whole airframe.

 

Thanks for looking 

Chris
