Lee White Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Let me ask you, how long is that spacer you have between the nose well and the intake bullet? I never though to do that, but it's brilliant. blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Great project. Resin kits are twice the work and twice the fun. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) wow thanx for all of the interest the spacer is 33mm long at the moment i am experimenting with bulkheads since i want a better looking intake. there are some drawings in the 4+ book. mounted to the intake cone/spacer/pit assembly: from the front. i have to blend the cone into the two airtunnels left and right [/url the bulkhead is upside down, i have corrected this after i found out, but on the pics its still wrong] Edited November 28, 2016 by blackbetty ShotMagnet, jgrease, Lee White and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Frontrow already booked?? I wouldn't dare to touch a resin kit and if it was the only one I had. Excellent work so far!! Lothar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 i did some work on the pit. it seems the order of parts going into the fuselage will be: 1)intake cone 2)spacer 3)wheelwell / front bulkhead 4)IP panels and coaming with lower sidewalls 5) pit floor with pedals and center console 6)rear bulkhead 7)seat Sharkmouth and Joel_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 to properly locate the wheelwell i next cut out the doors in the lower front fuselage and opened up the pit hole to the font. i am still not sure if i will have to further enlarge it or not. but measure a zillion times and cut once.... r0t0rdr1ver, Zero77, Out2gtcha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) this is the modified nosecone with spacer and wheelwell. i removed the kit cockpit tub, it cant be used from the front (just stuck in, not properly aligned) painted with some gunmetal colour, the tip of the cone will be russian green Edited December 9, 2016 by blackbetty Lee White, Hubert Boillot, Sharkmouth and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) some more work on the cockpit. i have to figure out a way to construct the sidewalls and IP panels that i can insert from the top after assembly this is the quickboost seat with the homemade panels and a floor that will have to be installed last another drawing of the 4+ book that helps in positioning the seat, IP and canopy: Edited December 13, 2016 by blackbetty Doctorgaz and Sharkmouth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 with the pit parts: i have found no pics, but judging from the cutaway drawings from the 4+ book the rearmost part of the pit must have the curvature of the air intakes visible, since the side panels dont extend to the very aft of the pit. hope this makes sense Joel_W, Lothar, Zero77 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
