Mmarchal Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Been slow, but I have been making some progress on the bombs and bomb racks. Also started painting the interior wood. Below is the cockpit floor. Needs a bit more work, bit of varnish and a bit more weathering. Heaps of sub assemblies in this kit. tucohoward, Jan_G, Joel_W and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmarchal Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 On to the interior now. I always enjoy these WW1 interiors. I am trying different schades of wood, as often seen in the full scale reproductions. First up the floor.

Shaka HI Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wow..not sure how I missed this one! Mmarchal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmarchal Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Bit more progress today, been working on the instrument panel. Needs some more work, but starting to look ok'ish. MikeA, Shaka HI, Whitey and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmarchal Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Bit of progress, the side walls are almost done. It's a slow progress, as the oils need a long drying time. But hi am not in a hurry. A WNW deserves a bit of attention and time. Shaka HI, Joel_W, MikeC and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Looks good. ...A WNW deserves a bit of attention and time.... Very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmarchal Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Interior is now coming along nicely. I had to disassemble the seat to get it in. It's probably easier that way anyway. No big deal, just a heads up for those that have this kit. The seat belts are almost ready to be installed, as is the second seat. Clicking the sides together takes a bit of trial and error, but in the end all fits just beautifully. (Yep it literally clicks together - I just ran a bit of Tamiya extra thin cement along the connection points to make sure they don't let go at a later stage) I have also started trying to mix a PC10 shade which I like. Think I'll go with about 2/3 Tamiya olive drab and 1/3 Tamiya khaki. KiwiZac, Shaka HI, MikeC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmarchal Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 There we go, that's the interior done. Perfect fit so far. I used HGW seat belts. These are quite good, I'll weather them a bit more next time. Vandy 1 VX 4, Jan_G, MikeA and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmarchal Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Voila, all closed up. Wasn't that easy, it's a very tight fit. Granted, al, problems were caused by myself, not by poor kit design. Make sure to sand off all paint on the mating surfaces, or you'll struggle. Seems are done and ready to put some paint on. Only closed up does it become clear how far back the pilot sat in this aircraft, massively long nose. The kit also provide a nice camera, visible in the last picture.

Mmarchal Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 It's been some time, but I have been making slow progress. The fuselage is now painted, as is the radiator, which was a bit of a mission. I have also finally figured out how I want to paint the prop and started on that one as well. As usually, I spend some time pinning the wing control surfaces. Without doing that, I am guaranteed to break them off several times. Those WNW attachment points are soooo small. To scale no doubt, but not strong enough for my clumsiness. Shaka HI, dutik and Jan_G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
