gaelicfire Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 So what you ask is so nerve racking about building a model, well chopping up the wings of a $160 model in front of the wife who so lovingly gave it to you while trying to install an expensive aftermarket set which she also got for you. Here are the wings as they stand now, outer wings are not glued up yet as I have to install bulbs and reflectors inside This is the fuselage with the wing. I have installed the ash thimble and added the strengthening rib. And since this is a WIP, although a little late to the game, here are a couple photos of the cockpit. If you look carefully there is a pin-up in there over the ash radar viewer, correct, maybe not, fun, yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laidlaw Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Right, I shall be keeping an eye on this one - looks like it'll be fun (said the guy who isn't chopping up an expensive kit ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaelicfire Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 If I said the pin-up is based on my wife.....hold on...what's that hun, back to the doghouse.....doh. I should say Allister's conversion is great any apparent issues are soley the fault of the modeller. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Very interesting! Mined you, you had better make a good job of it or I suspect wifey will ensure that your life expectancy will be shorter than that of Chadder at Christmas!

KLP Publishing Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Wow, you're certainly a brave man, cutting up an expensive kit like that! Looks like you're pulling it together nicely though. Oh, by the way, the phrase is nerve-wracking. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
