blackbetty Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 on the real thing there are covers screwed aropund them to create the opening, so i trased these on a pice of thin paper, scanned and drew them in illustrator. then i cut them from vinyl foil. they are not easy to cut because they are so small.

Guest Peterpools Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Karl Nice progress on the troublesome intakes. Looking forward to how this area comes out after the basic assembly is done. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 the instructions want you to glue the intake trunks to the lower wing, a real nightmare to fit them to the intakes afterwards. so i cut them off again. here they are in the fuselage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 next i cut off the inner trunk part again and discarded it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) the fuselage side is completey flat and void of any seams, so i cut a piece from very thin card Edited April 22, 2013 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 the outer intake part needs a lot of work to sit properly against the fuselage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 some spacer on the rear should remove the gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
