AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks guys So today's progress: Started off fixing a couple of bits inside the cockpit and then put the two halves of the fuselage together. While the glue was setting I started on the wings Once everything was dry I test fitted the wings to the fuselage, as you can see there is a little gap. With a little bit of fitting, stitch glued and then filled and sanding. and this is where I left it off for the day More soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Almost a pity to close it up. Next time I see you at a show I'll bring a torch and a shuftiscope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Well it doesn't seem like I've made much progress today. I've been test fitting the dive brakes. Trumpeter only allows you to build the kit with the dive brakes deployed, but as you hardly ever see these plane on the ground with them deployed I've opted to build them in the shut position. thus a bit of building and test fitting. First I made up and placed the ailerons Dive brake 'tacked' together And all the internal faces sprayed up red. More tomorrow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Again slow but steady progress on the old lady. Today was mostly around getting the engine assembly in place: At this point I realised I had forgot to fill in the engine cooling slits as I'm using a SBD-2 kit and the plane I'm building is an early SBD-3, the SBD-3 didn't have any slits. So out with the filler. Engine cowl dry fitted and whilst the filler was drying I made a bomb! (sorry GCHQ and NSA, not a real one) More soon...
