Recommended Posts

G'day again Chums,the vinegar stroke this time.

 

Jinxman,thanks old fruit.

 

The pitot probe has been reworked.The needle from a Revell Contacta bottle was just right for the job.This has been made to be removable so a length of copper wire has been fixed into the tube and a tail left protruding so that when it is inserted into the blind hole drilled into the permanently fixed bit under the nose the whole item will be the right length.

The underwing decals have sorted themselves out a treat.

Some gentle slicing meant that no ripping or cursing occurred and the unwanted bits came off without any snags.

The tail bumper should have a full length recess to lay in.I just fitted it with the aid of yet more copper wire,a hole drilled to take it and a drop of superglue,I really didn't fancy chopping dirty great holes into a somewhat delicate paint job at this late stage.Besides,I've no idea what the inside of the recess looks like.

Some red painted strips of masking tape provided the straps for the exhaust cover.

There has been the usual flurry of touching in of paint and general tweaking so I'm calling this one done.
