Iain Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'll just keep chipping away slowly Kev... Was a little shocked to see that from HpH - but it will be expensive, take a lot of work and I can't throw away everything I've done to date. Will be working towards finishing the cockpit area so I can close her up - maybe by the end of the year. Iain MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yeah, this one's well worth pursuing to the end, irrespective of what HpH (or anybody else) is doing. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkis Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) HpH? A Connie?...dint hear that over on this side of the pond. What else does HpH have up their sleeve besides the Ta-154 and Gigant? Clark Edited November 12, 2015 by clarkis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRutman Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Impressive progress. I love the way you handled the COB issue! LoL. Coffee mugs are priceless. That engineer array is very much like the C-133 I think? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Superb work, Iain. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks guys - hopefully getting the fuselage buttoned up will inspire further progress beyond that! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 very cool! What are the weights you're using? Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi Justin, Just ordinary automotive wheel weights... These are steel - not as good as the old lead ones (they were, obviously, a denser material - and could be trimmed/shaped fairly easily) - but they are useful sizes - 5g and 10g - and have an adhesive foam backing that sticks like crazy! Which makes a lot of sense as they're designed to survive on car wheels I got this batch off Ebay here in the UK - for a very reasonable £16.50 inc. postage. Not bad for a pack that weighs 6kg! Hope that helps? Iain FunkyZeit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps? Iain Yes thanks so much! They didn't look like wheel weights until you said that, and I realized that the model is the size of Steelhead I like to catch.. It all makes sense now!

LSP_Ray Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Nice to see some more progress, Iain! It is looking real good. Love the wheel weights, going to have to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
