    Do you do contract work for internal fitouts? There's a B-17 I know of that could use some of your talent......... Craig

    Love it and following! Hahahaha, I've heard Pilots being referred to by quite a few terms before, but "stick actuators" is priceless!!!!!! You've really nailed the painting on these guys. Craig

    Man that is cool!! Such a dynamic scene. Craig

    Nice fix! That's good to know you can recycle the back ends of the cutouts. Craig

    Went there in 2006 in late May. Absolutely loved it! Most of all I loved that I could be outside walking around all day and not get 3rd degree burns like you would in Australia or NZ........ Something that most European backpackers learn the hard way when they come here! Fantastic collection though, but likewise unfortunately I didn't get to do the boneyard tour as they were only running during the week. Craig

    Very true indeed Terry! I really am my own worst enemy. I want to do everything!!!!!!!! hahaha! I've just got to work out the rib stitching on the elevators now. Time to refer back to Airscale's builds Spot on as always Peter! Everything is a learning experience. So glad you're having a crack at raised rivets. They're quite the challenge, especially as you have to work in reverse! Thanks very much Matt. There's definitely a lot of trial and error in this build!!!!! Cheers, Craig

    Peter! Love the "stitching." Great use of the special tool to stop the wire rolling over on itself. Welcome to my world of raised rivets in litho!!!!!! Fantastic work as always...... Not sure if it's too late, but something that really helps the raised rivets stand out neatly instead of getting a lot of deformations in the skin around them is to work from the top side and with a piece of stainless tube (OD size of the rivet, in 1/32 I used 0.018"), you push the surrounding material back down. It's a lot of work and you have to be correctly centralised over each rivet so

    I totally feel your pain Jay. Machining something like equally spaced and sized spokes is exceptionally hard, especially when you have do it for two wheels! It looks as though you have a rotary setup for your work there, but correct me if i'm wrong, it looks as though you're cutting into the still fully solid hub? Could you perhaps bore out the hub from behind ( the inner) side first to end up with more of a thinner wall cut cut through as opposed to a completely solid part? Only throwing it out there as a way of potentially reducing the tool wander...... Cr

    Great work so far David! I've got this conversion too somewhere and will be following with interest Craig

    G'day Iain, Firstly, congratulations on posting your build here! I look forward to following along as I have the Hasegawa kit in the stash too. Secondly, comparing kits to drawings is always at the least a challenge, at the worst, downright confusing! It truely amazes me how kit manufacturers can go so far wrong at times but they do. Quite often, the most reliable resource is the Mk1 eyeball and sound judgement. Where I need further clarity (depending on the subject) aircorps library goes a long way to helping out with specific shapes. Here's a quick set of screen grabs

    Very nice Pat! The lanc looks really good in white; definitely something I'll be doing when I get around to building mine. Love the lifeboat too! 3D print I assume? Craig

    Been a while, but there's still progress happening (as slow as it is!) When I drew and printed the stabiliser and elevator, I didn't think ahead enough to shape the leading edge of the elevator to seat inside the stab. I ended up printing a flat mating surface between the two which is woefully unacceptable It took much thinking, but I finally decided I didn't need the acrylic spar I made to run through the fuselage (more on that in the future). So it was down to a lot of grinding, shaping and generally making a mess. For the uninitiated, neither acrylic or 3D prints ar
