jeroenpeters Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 YEAH!! I'm lovin' it! Must feel pretty solid already?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yeah, but it is still very flimsy and the tail is a bit warped, it had been like that before I cut it out of the sheet, but with a bit of reinforcement here and there it should work out okay. I also made the lug that fits on the wing pick up point but I forgot that it will not be seen as a section of the wing passes through the fuselage and also provides better strength to support a wing spar. I hope to make this whole thing one rigid structure so that the loads are not transferred to the glue joints which might split apart.

LSP_Kevin Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Wow Cees, you've obviously put a lot of work into it so far, and you've done a spanking job (that means good by the way). Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick728470 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Cees, Just a thought as to the tail being wrapped.Had the same thing happen my KI-45 and what i did was to cut half of the fuselage and pop it open.Then i cutout a few shimes and placed them inside the cutout until the tail plane lined up and glued shimes into place.Wasn't much.But not sure as to the pull of the part that is.Looking good and keep it up.And to u'er remark.Fun,Fun,Fun.U'er just getting to having fun and then the fun begines when u get to doing the cockpit and the other interior items that go inside the hampden.Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Short update, Still sticking bits of plastic strips inside but it's beginning to look like the interior of a Hampden. A new floor (the third version) has now firmly been glued inside the starboard half. Further building up of the fuselage structure is ongoing. This takes time with no obvious progress but it is progress. Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi Phantom, The Hampden has been put on the backburner while I am working on a Dragon Mustang. It's a change to make something "simpler" than scratchbuilding an entire interior. But the majority of the structural details are finished and look very good to me In time I will pick it back up again as I seem to change from project to project almost as much as I change my underwear (Correction: I change my underwear more often). Then there is the HP 0/400 still languishing but not forgotten...... Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
