1/32 Boeing F4b4 - almost naked


Recommended Posts

Many thank's for all of you for such pleasure comments. I'm glad you appreciate my efforts. 

 

This looks great!

Tomek, to już cztery lata? Ależ ten czas leci...

Leci, leci i nic na to nie poradzimy. Fajnie, że się obaj odezwaliście. Gieniu, musimy znowu trochę pogadać.

Ha, Tomku!! A tak niedawno zaczynałeś. Na pewno cztery? Zatem cytując klasyka - "Langsam, langsam aber sicher.." ;)

 

PS. Gienek, co u Ciebie, zgubiÅ‚eÅ› do mnie numer ?!!  :hmmm:

 

PS2. Today only in polish. We have National Day of the Constitution.  :)

Niestety czas leci za szybko. Dawno nie gadaliśmy, musimy się zdzwonić, tak jak z Gienkiem. A może jakieś spotkanie wspólne?.

 

I've made undercarriage. Good news: I can use wheels from the kit, rest of parts must be scratch.

First time I decided to vacuform parts, but I write more in next post.

A może jakieś spotkanie wspólne?

Hi everybody!

Long time from last update.

Thank's Shepard for reminder.

hi Tomasz... any progress on this master piece of yours?

 

cheers

I have still worked on this project, but I had no time to write something.

Main subject was undercarriage. 

Few words about leg and axle covers. I made them from styrene sheet formed on wooden molds. I used blowtorch to heat plastic.

Half of undercarriage will be with covers and rest without. 

Main leg with bracket without covers.

Part on the top of the cover I made using vacuform.

When all parts were ready I had to imagine how to join together. All construction must be strong and all angels correct, but about it in next post.

Hi Guys!

It;s nice to read such kind comments.

Continue my story about undercariage I have to say that I was afraid of the end effect. The most difficult part was to find the idea how to do, as always. Next hundreds of fittings.

Few photos of assembling set. I had to improve wheels. I added break system with arms, cords and small wheels.

There is no one strut, which be added during finish assembling undercarriage with fuselage.

Here dry fitting with this strut.

Hi Gents!

Nice to meet you before Christmas!

I changed my area of intrest to the rear part of the aircraft - tail. Stabilizers and elevators will be first. I made them earlier, but now I had to join all together. 

This is the effect.
