Ripaman Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Stunning work Richard. Once painted this will be easily mistaken for looking at photos of the real Hurricane. Hi Col appreciate your kind words, hope when it comes time to paint I do it justice. Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Gawd! Please don't tell me that those control runs are actually articulated? Do the radios work as well? I did make them so they could move but one bit of glue stopped that !! so no they will not articulate, regarding the radio they are not wired yet so I don't know Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripaman Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks Nobby, what you do in 1:72 scale is Just a small update to my build, the last pictures I built the back bracket which holds the cables twice the size it should be, so I have changed that and added the top bracket. Added the bracket under the radio (for the cables) then made the frame work for the retractable foot stiirup. Machined a small pully wheel and made the bracket to hold it. Just a few more brackets here and there before I can start painting. Until the next post Regards Richard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of your job this masterpiece will be sealed into the Trumpeter body?Ezio Hi Ezio, What I intend to do is were the canvas would go on one side is to make a mould from the kit, I have bought some clear resin so I will make a casting from behind the cockpit to the rudder, then I will be able to show all internals. Regards Richard Spectacular!Regards: Shaun Thanks Shaun WOW Thank you as well Artur Gawp Slow going but coming together as I pictured it. Regards Richard Good Question!

Ripaman Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 master modeller at work ,excellent stuff Thanks Mick just trying to make as close to the real one as poss. Well just a small update, I bought a CD of the Hurri from England and it had four good pictures of the kick in foot step, also I had a drawing which I scaled to 1:24 so I built it out of .003" brass shim including the brackets, after I took the pictures I added a small spring so it now it will open and close. Hope you enjoy I have to see want else to build before I start putting some paint on her. Best regards Richard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1968 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 When I see work like this it reminds me why I don't post my work on here. Outstanding stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi Sean, Thanks for your kind words, you should post your builds. Well I have now added the frame work on the tail so that the tail spares would not move, still need to add some more braces, will make a mold of the tail and make a clear resin casting, then cut out the plastic leaving the tail fin in place so that the construction will be shown. Now just wondering if I should keep going and do a wing or what? Hope you enjoy Then I added couple more bracing as seen in this picture, Until next post Regards Richard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Do a wing! Do a wing! Very impressive work as always. I'd be sad to see such beautiful construction clad in either the kit parts or even clear resin such is the stunning effect of seeing the bare structure as you have it at the moment. You must have almost enough parts left to build the kit and sit it next to this one as a fully clothed comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripaman Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hi Col, thinking of what you have said, quote (I'd be sad to see such beautiful construction clad in either the kit parts or even clear resin such is the stunning effect of seeing the bare structure as you have it at the moment) so still not sure which way to go, but thanks for the kind words again, also thanks to AngloSaxon. Well guys I have been working on the tail plane for a little while, scaled a drawing I had to 1:24 and using pictures I have. Started by making the main spares out of brass tube and .003" brass shim then glued together, then made all the connecting spares out of plastic round and .005" sheet. made a jig so that I could keep straight and at this moment making all the connector plates out of .003" brass. I will post more as I build, hope you enjoy. Well until next post, Regards Richard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
