PhilB Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for the kind words Brian, Mark and Tomek! I'm trying to get this build finished this week before the schools break up for the Summer Holidays as I'll be a bit busy for 6 weeks! The folding wings are finished. Painted the joint interior green then a bit of weathering to detail the brackets and rivets. Added a couple of wires. Interestingly in the kit there are a couple of "tubes" on the trailing edge that look like they were molded for a nav light but nothing in the clear sprue. Added a couple of am lenses All 8 inches of torpedo attached. sway braces were made from paper clip wire and the strop from 0.5mm lead wire. The pe prop blades were too large to fit through the gap on the fin if they actually turned so they were all cut down and re-profiled. Bare brass which will dull down with time. Added dipoles from 0.5mm brass rod to the panel underneath the nose and to the top of the canopy. I've got the main wingfolds painted up just got to add the levers and actuating rods. Thanks for looking in. Phil whiskytngofxtrt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilB Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 One of my favorite builds here. Looking good in the home stretch. Thanks for dropping by Jerry, always great to have nice words from your good self. Stellar mate...........just stellar............... Thank you Comrade. Wingfolds are done. Conversion instructions show a single link wire however the Datafile drawing shows a few more. I thought about a connector for the rockets, another for the wing tip nav lights and a petrol pipe from the wingtanks so I added a few more. This build is complete. I'm outta here!

richdlc Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 really beautiful looking plane mate, I love it! No wonder hermann goering was green with envy about mosquitos...fantastic aha - I knew I wasn't the only person with some of this stuff - I don't recall where I got it from, and at the time it was slated for disintegrating after being exposed to sunlight or some such thing.....never had a problem though & mine is still usable. I wish I knew where to buy more & who manufactured it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
