So I'm slightly confused , is this the 1/28 scale 0/400 you are building? It seems a little large for 1/28.

 

Haha

No, that's a pic Jeroen nicked from an rc forum. A very nice 1/8 scale HP. Will post some pics

Soon to show the size of my plastic attempt.

At 1/28 scale it is very large too with almost one metre span. Let's first try to finish the fuselage

Before even think about how to tackle the wings.

Finally some good progress to show.

 

Herer are some pics showing the arrangement of the bombcells (if they should be called like that), a pic showing the

size of the fuselage next to my smart phone and some pics showing the parts in place, not glued yet but you get the

idea. Next? Gluing the things. The closing of the fuselage is getting near.

 

Hope you like it

You'd better keep checking regularly otherwise you miss all my fun.

 

Here's another one.

 

The end "thingies" have been fitted now, with some jiggling they finally went

into place. The complex bombcell structure that scared me for so long is now

finished and (at least I think so) looks great.

 

Suddenly the though went trough my mind, why not fitting the wooden

structure that supports the fuel tanks? oh well, so I did. The fuel tanks

(sections of Pritt glue sticks) are dry fitted here as they need to be trapped

between the fuselage sides.

 

But the postman brought something Brisfit shaped that might delay things.........

 

Hope you like it so far,

I do (tremendously)

OOoo! Nice one! Suddenly i realize how little can be seen of the bomb supports!

Very nice... I'm coming over this weekend to look don't touch your model. And to look and touch your Brisfit.

Now that Arrow Wolf is stocking WnW kits, I'm sure another one will land on my doorstep too soon.

 

Anyhoo. Very nice.

Jeroen, well your post got me thinking and you are right, not much is to be seen but enough to

Represent the internals of the 0/400. So, I buttoned up the fuslage, inserted the fueltanks,

Put in the pilot's seat and it is now drying.

Tomorrow the rest of the interior will be fitted and the top an bottom pieces will follow suit.

Suddenly I have no more loose parts and one substantial fuselage, wow a milesone has been

Reached for this project.

Pics to follow soon.

Yihaaa!
