mozart Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) There's one for sale on ebay at the moment Ollie, ends on Tuesday though it's got some bits missing. I've got a spare canopy if you decide to go for it. Max Edited January 28, 2016 by mozart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Further progress with the wheel well assembly, I'm posting some detailed pictures as a guide should anybody else need some advice, though of course there's no guarantee that I've got it right!: Lock and frame in position. Lateral gear well placed in position, keys in with the arms of the lock frame. An overview of the major items, note the left hand lock frame and lateral gear well unassembled. The fit of all the parts is very good, just a mm or so needing trimming in places to get the optimum fit.

I got a chance to take a few of R4118 the other week. Ive also got photos of all the radios etc behind the cockpit if you really want to go to town.

mozart Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Max Some mighty fine delicate work Looking real good Keep 'em coming Peter Delicate indeed Peter! It's wonderful to have such fine castings, they are of course a great testament to Tim's skills but by golly you have to be careful to avoid breakages left, right and centre......or should that be port, starboard........?

Guest Peterpools Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Max A gentle touch for sure and then figuring out the orientation .. patience of a saint but so well worth the delicate work Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 This is a Pb test really, but also a very useful shot of the Hurricane wheel well. Kinda confirms that I've got things in the right place! Max MikeC, BradG and tomv87 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) The wheel well's almost completed, just a couple of small braces front and back to add before finally gluing the forward and aft covers in place. One of the things that is so clever about the engineering of the resin pieces is that they almost "snap" together so that their location soon becomes apparent: Max Edited February 1, 2016 by mozart bstachel, MikeC and BradG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 That looks really nice Max . Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks Martin, this little beauty is finished at last; with 22 parts almost a kit in itself: A couple of minor patching jobs to do first and then the task of making a seamless fit into the lower wing. It is doubtless easier said than done!! Max BradG, mouldman and MikeC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nice work on the U/C bay Max and a step up from what is supplied in the PCM kit I am tackling at the moment, interested to see how the replacement outer skin will fare in to the kit lower wing........looks like it could be a fun job.
