Shawn M Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Gear bays have base weathering down and the details painted (o2 bottles, gear lock bags). Seems I lack a pick of the details..stay tuned so I went ahead and added the red lead foil to represent the fuel tanks Really love the way the red pops So with that done I rebuilt the landing light boxes in the wings which allowed me to close up the outer wing halves! Going to give them a sold day to set up, the pour some thin CA down the seams from the inside. After that I can fit them to the center section. Not pictured is the work I did on the gar doors, not really exciting stuff to show Big Texan, Alain Gadbois, Bill_S and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Flooded the seam with thin ca Just cause you cant see it does not mean you've put to much in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Great work Shawn! The wheel wells look fantastic, and I really like the paint job on the propeller blades: subtle variations on the finish. Alain Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 wo hooo! Got the wings glued together last night! The fit was remarkably good. I did add a tab into each side on the lower center section to aid in strength and alignment with the out panels. After a couple hours I added a bead of medium ca along the inside of the leading edge to give it a bit more solidity. Pics soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
