SirBlueHenry Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Well I think the u/c cutouts are ok - not perfect but ok. Method was all going well till I realised the Monogram and vacform kist differed in centre section width by 1,5mm. so my taping solution needed to be adjusted slightly. Anyway - another irritating area finished. Just a slight bit of tweaking here and there. Then to install the u/c mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBlueHenry Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is just the most beautiful aircraft in my opinion, not elegant like a spitfire, but just beautiful and so well proportioned. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Personally, I think that the wells came out perfect. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBlueHenry Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Oh and then I also found that the monogram landing light covers don't fit on the vacform - so i will make new ones. Dont ask me how yet. Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBlueHenry Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just realised this BC-1 will be the last model I build in my 40's. Less than 3 weeks to finish it. Girlscanplay2 and Joel_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Two things paralyse me with fear. A. Being caught naked in public 2. Vacform. I am mightily impressed! Girlscanplay2, Jeff and Joel_W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 SBH, The the looks of your really quite busy but extremely neat and well organized workbench, I'd say that you're make excellent progress. The BC-1 with the addition of the cowl and the greenhouse (if you're going to be installing prior to painting), is just about ready for painting.

SirBlueHenry Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 A bit of work mounting the u/c legs into a strongish bit of plastic which then needs to be mounted into the wing at the correct angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBlueHenry Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I didnt leave myself enough space to actually work with there. should have given a bit more thought to the main spar and u/c mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
