monthebiff Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Pretty well have the cocpit together now but first up I made a couple of pulleys for the foward bulkhead as these are not included in the kit. a few bits to add to the rear as well as for the eagle eyed amomg you to cover the red print on one of the belts carefully put there by HGW but otherwise all but done. Just need to concentrate on finishing painting the fuselage interior. Had a quick dry fit and all looks good. Regards.

monthebiff Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Managed to get some time to get the fuselage interior painted in readyness for cockpit installation and closing up. Dificult to see but treid to add as seperate panels to match the outer fuselage. Although the very rear fuselage is very, very dark I was just having a bit of a play as this area wont be seen once the rear bulkhead is fitted. Also have the wings pre-shaded in readyness for applying the lozenge. Initially I used Tamiya deck tan with some brown pre-shade over the ribs but this was just to dark, so a coat of thin Tamiya white was applied to lighten things up Just needs a final gloss cote now prior to decal application. Thanks for checking by as always. Regards. Andy Edited August 23, 2017 by monthebiff tucohoward and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Good day at the bench today, cockpit completed and fuselage all buttoned up. Pretty happy with things so far, also had a play with Uschi wood decals on the engine bearers in readiness for the outer fuselage. First play with Aviattic decals on the tail plane and Wow I can see why everbody raves about them.........they are amazing!! Regards.

Bomber_County Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Andy, have been wrestling with my conscious over he Duelist, seeing yours I want one.........looking very very good............ monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Looking good Andy - I can appreciate your need to get an "easy" build done whilst doing the 188. It's a rewarding build, but demanding at every turn. Sometimes you just want to stick bits together and build a model aeroplane! I've adopted the same strategy, with my 188 build interspersed with simpler little projects. You'll be up to your neck in WNW kits in no time. They just scream to be built & they are pretty small and build up fairly quickly. At least, until you get to the rigging.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Andy, Great looking build and you got well rewarded on your efforts on the wood. Looks terrific and adds a lot of interest to what is usually a 'given' in the fuselage. Keep it up! Chris monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Andy, have been wrestling with my conscious over he Duelist, seeing yours I want one.........looking very very good............ Seems like a hefty ouylay for the Duelist set but if you want an LVG without paying silly, silly money on ebay then its a must have and thats why I went for it Phil. Thank you for your kind comments on my build so far. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Dean, really enjoying the build so far and as you say demanding but lots of fun. Its my second WnW build now but my first bi-plane as I did a W.29 earlier in the year. Just nice to get away from piles of resin dust for a little while and I find a rest from a big build here and there always works for me as I soon want to get back to my current major project whatever that may be.

Hopefully the outer fuselage will turn out reasonably well also. Thanks for looking in. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
