Ripaman Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ah, work on what ever gets the juices flowing. I'll call you Thurs for beers next weekend. Wolf, any chance your in Cowtown next weekend? Cheers Ron Hi Ron, yep juices are flowing for the Tiffy, see you on the weekend. You know Ron, that would probably make my month to join you both for a couple of brewskis but there's not a chance I could make it. I will, however, let you know when I will be in the neighbourhood and we'll make a meet happen for sure! Cheers, Wolf Hope to see you soon Wolf this would make my month as well, I will keep some beers warm Great to see you're working on one of these Richard. Your work is always amazing, can't wait to see this one come together. Matt Thanks Matt, I find this aircraft a pleasure to build, love what you have done to yours. Ricahrd Insane and incredible work.. Keep 'em coming Peter Thanks alot Peter, I still think you should get yours out again Cracking stuff Glad you like the Tifft Zak, just adding a small amount of detail here and there. Thanks Guys for looking in, Have been adding more parts to the engine and found by removing the back tabs of the engine mounts you can glue on the Carb and have the engine go on later. [/url] [/url] Used some soft aluminum from a wine bottle to hide the seam from the air duct to radiator [/url] All these parts added without glue so that I can see if everything will fit just right. [/url] [/url] [/url] Last I have added some piping from the air cylinder [/url] Until next time, Regards Richard dpastern and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nicely done. Nice detail painting. I like the braided hose. Glad to see it in use. 1/24 seems to be its' true scale. Foil is a nice cover-up. It's good the carb is a solid mount so you can remove the engine tabs, otherwise alignment would be challenging. Good show, Richard. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripaman Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Todays update, went a bought the EDUARD 20 mm cannon Typhoon gun set and wing armament set, also the flap set. all are very nice. Start with the ammunition boxes I added .016" round brass instead of using the part from the set. [/url] [/url] Next up the flaps [/url] [/url] What I have done to the gun set is used the barrels from Master becuse I will be showing them with the top part of the gun cover removed, the guns which come with the set are made to go into the gun cover and are too small. Here is what you get in the set [/url] [/url] I machined a small piece of round brass, then machined a flat on it so that it will go into the resin part, also had to drilled a hole in the resin so that the Master part would go in all the way. [/url] [/url] This is how it looks with the Master barrel [/url] Had to extend the slot in the bottom of the resin part all the way to the end otherwise it won't line up to the ammunition box. [/url] More soon, Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 I used some very thin paper which I bought to make folded up sails for my Bluenose ship, it looked like leather so I painted it learther brown and installed it under the frame work inside the gun bays. Also made the gun warming ducting by using .035 wire wrapping it around a .8mm tube the slipping over some black shrink tube, put some heat to it and then stretched it at the same time, after a few attemps it came out just what I wanted. Have painted all these pieces so here is what it looks like installed, have not glue anything yet in place yet, also more to add. [/url] [/url] [/url] Have done a some small parts to the engine, [/url] [/url] [/url] [/url] Thats it for now, Regards Richard tucohoward, shepard, Lars Befring and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
