Daniel460 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just great stuff Iain, really enjoy your builds. That epoxy will go everywhere except where you want it! I started using the 5 minute stuff, much less stress! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 ... My wife, Anne, was very patient with me when I shouted for help holding everything together whilst I taped her up (I did give her some latex gloves to wear - did I say this stuff was messy). ... Have fun... Iain You know this specific sentence could be read very differently from your initial meaning ? Great work on the Connie, and good to see her on the go again !

Bruce_Crosby Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi Guys, I saw the tail unit and the cockpit parts on Thursday evening and they are outstanding. The details on the engineers panel won't be visible when the model is closed up so it was a real privilege to see the unit prior to that. And that tail unit is huge! Hoping to see more of it at Telford. Regards, Bruce Crosby Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started using the 5 minute stuff, much less stress! Dan Hi Dan, I usually use the 5 minute stuff - but no good for something this size... The 30 minutes (ish) only just give enough time to apply the glue and get everything clamped and taped before it started going off! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 First pass over the joints - smoothing off the polyester car body filler - and looking good! In fact so good, well, I couldn't resist... and, well, I sneezed! Can you tell what it is yet? Note - wings not fully seated at roots yet as I need to make openings for the flap area. Also nose is dry fitted, but needs a lot of work before fitting - as does the dorsal radar 'fin' which needs to be a lot thicker - so please be gentle with any observations at this stage plaese! And to give scale, an Eduard 1:32 Bf109E: Definitely feels like we're getting somewhere at last! Have fun!

Guest Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Man, I love it ! Looks like a Conny. Is it just me, or does the fin look too tall ? ......Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Is it just me, or does the fin look too tall ? Fins are bang on - measurements directly from Lockheed drawings Middle one is in an odd position at the mo as I still need to modify the fuselage immediately ahead of the tail plane...

LSP_Ron Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 It's not offensive at all, it's a joke between staff members...... Looks kinda small Iain, LOL Looking good Ron Uilleann, scvrobeson and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not offensive at all, it's a joke between staff members...... Looks kinda small Iain, LOL Looking good Ron Just an old inside joke. It has nothing to do with religion and is not in any way meant to be offensive. BiggTim and Uilleann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
