1/32 Boeing F4b4 - almost naked


Recommended Posts

Hi!

Thank's everybody for your opinion and watching once again.

So as I said we take care of the tail. I fancied fin and rudder with skin from one side and open structure from the other side. There are these parts in one piece in the kit, so i cut them open. But how can i make skin, this is corrugated sheeting.

I decided to use kit parts. I took hobby drill with various dental cutter and I had started to thin rudder first. I finished when it was almost like a sheet of paper. I rescribed corrugated skin from inside. For such project like this one kit is not enough. I've got three, god bless it's not expensive. So i cut trailing edge of the rudder from another kit. I made frames and reinforcements from plastic sheet and evergreen. I made the same with fin, but i had to cut leading edge from another part.

There is mistake in the kit. Incisions for hinges should be in fin, not in the rudder, so i had to rectify this.

Hi everybody!

Thank's gentlemans for kind comments.

I made hinges of the rudder to close this subject.

I joined tentative fin with rudder using plastic rod as a spindle.

When you have built model so long (now 2,5 years) your dream is to see the progress, you'd like to put all parts together. So I made dry-fitting the tail with fuselage.
