Bill_S Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Progressing slowly but surely... The blue is a piece of an old Revell Corsair wheel, with plastic sheet glued to widen it. It enabled me to put the cavity in the wheel well also. Lots of sanding still to do; I'm in dire need of an abrasive cotton swab... Next up are the heat vents. The hoses are .015" solder tightly wrapped around .015" floral wire. Probably no more updates until after the server migration.

Bill_S Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Work continues, albeit slowly. Filled the recess for the nose wheel with putty, by eye it looks pretty good. The camera shows it still needs sanding. Some detail added the the pit... I filled in the recess in the cockpit sidewall prior to sanding. It's a good thing, too... Round bezels for the Waldron IP ready for paint. Girlscanplay2 and EmperorKai 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Some progress in the past week. More than what I'm showing in this post; I'll try and get more pics up soon... Cockpit: And radiators for the booms... Some old Estes nose cones were the perfect diameter.

mywifehatesmodels Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Looking good, Bill. Great improv using the nose cones for radiators, too. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks, John! I'm still looking for detail on the interior of the boom... In the meantime, some radio boxes. Yes, they're hollow, and they're square! Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 HGW lines rivets. This is actually the second set; a little heavy on the paint, and the first ones disappeared. Some missing rivets to touch up - I figure they wont be so prominent once I do a wash and spray with dullcote. Currently working on the Waldron cockpit. A lot of detail, much of it very small. Hopefully another update by the end of the week. Girlscanplay2, Aluxe and EmperorKai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) This Waldron cockpit is incredibly detailed, but the going is slow for these tired old eyes! Hours of work in, and nowhere near finished... Edited November 11, 2014 by Bill_S xmh53wrench, mattlow and EmperorKai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I remember seeing Waldron Products Advertising in Scale Modeler, Scale Aircraft and then Fine Scale . That is Amazing , I'd be afraid that 3/4 of it would be wiped out b the time I got the build done. Work of ART watch'in you jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
