BloorwestSiR Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Well, I finally got the control surfaces rigged and attached. It's was a bit of a juggling match to get them in place and rigged but I did it. I used a bit of wire to help pin the control surfaces to the wing as I wasn't too sure about the butt joint otherwise.

BloorwestSiR Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 With that done, I painted the prop following the kit instructions. Then it was time to attach it to the fuselage and basically call the build done. There's one part left which is the gun sight but I need to find it first I'll get some better pics soon. Thanks to everyone who followed along. Rigging is a new one for me. Now that I know it's not dinner sort of voodoo magic, I may try another in the future.

Shaka HI Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Look fantastic, Carl! Congrats on a fine build. Too bad the prop blades are painted silver and not left in a natural wood finish (or that blue even). It would definitely stand out a bit more -- I think.

I was surprised by the colour for the prop too but it is what it is. Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Carl WOW ... what a spectacular build .. Sure wish I had the part to send to you. Peter Thanks Peter! I think it'll turn up. It's still attached to part of the sprue. I trimmed it off to paint it so hopefully it's on my workbench. Probably mixed in with the Corsair bits. Or maybe the Spitfire ones.
