Gerhard Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I have so much to learn before I attempt this. Stellar work Andy, suck that you have to build a second one. But a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 good catch on the inspection windows thats how I plan to address it to. The early marks had 3 small round windows where as the G (maybe Fs too) had one. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 "Also added the kit inspection windows to the upper cowls, these need to be reversed and the glued in place so I added them so they were proud of the cowling and then sanded smooth and then polished up." I must be feeling thicker than usual today Andy (must be all the golf I've been playing!) Can you explain a little further what you did here, and your photos appear to show 3 smaller circles whereas my understanding, like Shawn mentioned, was that the Gs (but not the Fs) had a single larger roughly triangular window.

Shawn M Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Max, the kit has the 3 circles moulded "proud" of the surface. So if you put them in sticking out, you can sand them flush and polish to replicate the G windows monthebiff and mozart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks Shawn, must admit I haven't looked at the E-2 kit and conversion bits since I've been doing the OOB E but that all makes sense! Max monthebiff and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Yep Gehard, will be a real chore building a second 110. Probably will be a box stock build though rather than a conversion! Regards.

Thanks Shawn, seems the simplest way to go, I have some small decal dials to fit to the inside as well, thats the plan anyway! Regards.

Shawn M Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I was going to make some gauges from sprue chunks and left over decals, then glue 'em to the window from the inside with future monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you put them in sticking out, you can sand them flush and polish to replicate the G windows Shawn couldn't have explained it better Max, easy to use the kit clear parts and sand the detail off. Still a little more work to do on mine but I think they should look just fine when finished. Regards. Andy Regards. Andy Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Quite a clear reference picture of the gauges: TorbenD, sandokan, monthebiff and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
