The U/c & doors now in place plus the rads, an overall coating of varnish so ready for decals







Canopy only sitting there not glued as yet also the armour plate not fitted yet behind the head rest









Bob


 

Just for you Peter
My PCA-2 Autogiro







My next Williams will be



Bob
 

as I said will try & put some camo on










Bit of a tidy up needed, then some laquer, then onto rads & U/C's

Bob

Engine panels only lightly tacked on, hoping for the engine sometime maybe, needs a bit more clean up in this area



Wings & tail on very little needed on the wing root some filler on the tail, although I think this might have been me to heavy handed with the file











Test fit of door, open or closed?


last pick for today maybe some camo next
Starting to look like an aircraft now eh!


Bob




 

And last bit for today a test fit of the tail plane, when glued should hide the small joint to the fuselage





Bob
 

the fuselage went together ok, sometimes with resin there is a little shrinking so one side might be a little larger & you need to do some filing to ajust not in this case
 

 
 
 

 
the tail fits in well, has a very fine point to it that fits on the top of the fuselage be careful with these I broke both mine & will have to put some white putty on to replace them

 

 
test fit of the engine panel support unit
 
 
Shape of top panel has bent in slightly so will give it some support with a small piece of rod

 

 

 
Bob

Instrument panel finished



Cockpit completed fits nicely on fuselage











U/C painted with a test fit of the struts, all fits by means of pins & slots
nice & firm control nothing loose or wiggly



Bob

Done some work on the cockpit, the instrument panel needs some white on it to show the decals through
 

 

 

 
the wing & U/C high lighted a little rad painted yet not fitted

 

 
Bob

Not Much further forward, the thing called work getting in the way again
Have completed the Props though just decals & coat of lacquer required





Sill no glue on this, cockpit is in black U/C bay to paint Aluminium next 
Bob

Lets have a look at the rest of the parts
 
 
 

 
 

 
Good fit could nearly put it on the model without glue

 
The Exhausts have a nice boxed section to fit in on the engine panel support unit

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 
Bob

So onto the cockpit
Some quite small parts here



a closer look









and of course the instrument decals


Bob

Ok after one Funeral & one Wedding perhaps I can continue
The Wings:-





I have shown the rad although this does not attach till part 20 of the instructions just test fitting at the moment
The wing spar-u/c bay & right angle part for bay fit nicely a little clean up needed



All fits well looks like very little glue will be needed here



Two further parts for the U/c bay, need to file larger so it fits my error on taking it of its moulding block

Rad fits with etch


right lets clean up the cockpit bits & I will show you them a little later

Bob

Hi Guys
My word I have a little rest from you & find 6 very nice complements
Thank you Gentleman
As for a Spit cross Mustang I suppose it does look a little like that, being a laminar wing you might guess they
had a look at the Mustang construction at sometime?
 
For your pleasure here is my finished OOB Spitful















Left it fairly gossy as it was mainly used for trials & they found that the slightest dirt could reduce
the speed by up to 50 mph

47 days and counting since mine was shipped to the UK…strong contender for a new record 
HI spooky, your not alone, mine was posted same day as yours and still waiting, stuck in costoms & excise i bet

don't think the order No has any relevance on delivery Thierry as we found with the Viggen, my No is 10884  seen nothing yet
Bob

I have been informed by Jetmads that shipping to the UK has resumed as from today so Viggens will start being posted again as from next week
