chukw Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm truly enjoying your article, Kent- cheers! One question- the canopy framing was internal, with the plexiglass panels attached with screws. Do you really want raised frames? Cheers- chuk kkarlsen and Alain Gadbois 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a quick look at the kit glass (which has raised frames, so I assumed it had to be like that) I will have to look into this, but I think your right, many thanks!

kkarlsen Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) So, the last couple of days I have been working on the nacelles of engines no 3 & 4 . using the same method of creating a silicone mold and casting resin copy's. They are the largest parts I've done thus far and I wasn't sure if it would be possible at all. But the castings turned out OK, although some puttying and sanding was required, to get them looking as the originals...

kkarlsen Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Working on the now very narrow Cockpit... Trying to fit everything into the narrow cockpit, converted side instrument panels... Free styling behind the seat, witch is a simple version from the later B seat... Just enough space for the panels...
