JOCKNEY Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Hi Martin Great see the return of this one, best of luck. Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi Martin, not bad for the dreaded O color. Not too far to go IMHO. I have to say that I am full of admiration for brave folk like you who rig a model that is only 75-odd percent built. If it were me, I know exactly what would happen to this spider web. All the best!!! JR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hi Jean Ezy line seems to have a bit of flex . Time will tell. This is my first go at rigging so anything can happen Martin H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hi All With the Viking complete it is time for this one to get a KUTA. Some more small bits added . Next the gun . The floats are about ready for rigging and assembly. For that I have a cunning plan . More soon . Hoping to finiash this one by the 7th so things can get salty.

Grandboof Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hi All . Some more progress . First I have decided to omit the gun as I cant' find any photo of it in place . I can always add it it later if need be . Now the float plane . 1 Attach rigging to the locating holes . 2 Add cross bracing 3 Repeat for the front . So far so good .

Grandboof Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi All Slowly getting there . Looking more like an aeroplane now. Just a couple of small bits and the last of the rigging ( Tail) then decals . Martin H 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi All Getting closer . Last two decals to go then the windscreens . The decals were suprisingly well behaved . Next update should be the last . Plenty more KUTAs lying around. Thanks for looking in Martin H 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi Martin, this model is looking better and better. Your orange appears just right, and the finished model quite eatable! Almost finished, so Congrats are allowed! Great show. JR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hi All . Completion will be delayed due to downward spiral towards the floor . I caught it but oops. Floats separated ,upper wing and struts likewise. Amazingly the rigging has mostly survived and stretched back into place . Should be back on track tomorrow. One cobane strut remains to be reattached and the floats back on . Thanks for dropping by Martin H 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu35 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It's fun to know that big kids still play with their model when it's finished. No, Grandboof. You don't throw the model away to see if it flies! It's a shame to have to pick up the pieces. But you're almost there. This plane is orange, but it doesn't have the skin. The paint looks very smooth. 👍 Regards, Eric-Snafu35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had your experience of dropping a model with rigged wings and having them remain more or less recognizably intact. Glad the thing turned out well for you.

JOCKNEY Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Great stuff Martin, it looks the business, and thanks to it being the "O" colour you will certainly have no trouble finding it ! Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
