zaxos345 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 That's it, now you nailed it Peter!!! We have a saying here in Greece that in free translation says ''When something does wrong, there is always something good that follows'' and your case just proves it!!!!

Anthony in NZ Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well done Peter! awesome save. I couldn't see anything wrong with the shape of the first one. But now you have remade it, and it looks even better somehow Very inspiring build mate, thanks for the update coming so quick. Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Peter, I admire your boucebackability. If I had been hit with the problems you had, I think I would still be blubbering in a darkened corner somewhere. Great new windshield! You have snatched victory from the jaws of adversity Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaszhajzler Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I also think that new windscreen is better than first one. We can't affraid off doing something once again. My current project is great lesson for me. Some parts were made two or three times and every time I made it better and faster. We can get experience in this case. Happy modeling.

airscale Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 thanks guys ..I have made and re-made many parts in this build, and spent ages experimenting before committing to something - so much so I sould probably have one and a half Sea Furies by now! I think this time I was annoyed at my idiocy rather than anything else so it bothered me more than just getting something wrong.. ..anyways - to close the canopy chapter so to speak, I have finished fitting it and fairing it in - it got some scratches on the way and a couple of small scars from misplaced CA but it is what it is - I am NOT doing it again! I tried creating similar damage on a test part (see what I mean about experiments!) and futuring it with a brush, but while it did improve the scratches, it killed the clarity a bit and actually was more distorted than if I leave it alone.. I may try Tamiya polishing compound if I can find any.. ..there really is very little to do to before paint now, and after that, not too much to put all the sub assemblies together - I am holding off painting until after Telford so have a few weeks to tinker - I wonder if I should dip into the box of my next build...

Showtime 100 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Love the fuselage-to-windscreen flow ! Very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 For what it is worth, my master patterns do not always come out right first time around - I sometimes have to have two or three attempts at it to get it right...I often find that these 're-tries' turn out better than my first attempt, so well done Peter Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airscale Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 thank you chaps ...so, 15 months after opening the kit box, today I gathered a rag-bag collection of sub-assemblies into what will pass as a sea Fury - it stood on it's wheels for the first time.. granted, it was a precarious affair with white tack holding everything in place (so alignment is not what it should be), but nonetheless it looks like an aeroplane quite a moment for me - so I thought I would share it... ..now I just hope I don't balls it all up by painting it - if I could I would get Haggis (Jamie Haggo) to do it for me.. ..see you at Telford TTFN Peter Landrotten Highlander, Uilleann and Derek B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Warts and all, she looks a treat Peter! 15 months to do that, I could spend a lifetime trying to recreate what you have done and I would still fall short. Stunning build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
