SirBlueHenry Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 This is the Lead weight wich bolts to the lower frame behind the rear pilot. To counter the weight loss of various items removed from Harvards postwar. Its a significant chunk of lead in real life. Here its a pretty small piece to make and I have placed it next to the seat for scale effect. The angle irons have been replicated with very thin aluminium sheet jgrease, sandokan and Sharkmouth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBlueHenry Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 The wires and cables coming through the wing upper surface will be arranged and trimmed much later in the process, but just getting an idea of what it be like so far. Front seat fitting worked out well. There are actually quite a few details in the wing upper section. They include ... front frame mounts rear frame mounts holes for aileron cables fuel tanke gauges beside pilot seat front seat mounts hydraulic lines to flaps sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinuheH Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Superb work - way beyond my skill (and patience) level… Query: what source of SAAF decals will you be using. I thought the old Ken Smy sheet didn't provide the correct size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBlueHenry Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Well ive the 66 inch castle there, which matches the size. I am not sure if thats Ken Smy, I guess so if its the same thing you are referencing in your photo with the 54inch castle. I dont know - I just looked through my sheets and found it - not sure if that means there are different sheets. what does your full sheet look like?

SirBlueHenry Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 And in case anyone was wondering - yes I know my hydraulic lines are way overscale, but for trhe purposes of this build and everything else thats wrong, its just representative in my mind. In fact the whole scratch building of the upper surface and all that I have done behind the rear seat is just for my own practice. If this kit had been a Tamiya I would have taken a lot more care to be extremely accurrate in pipe thicknesses and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkmouth Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 And in case anyone was wondering - yes I know my hydraulic lines are way overscale, The fact you're even adding them is enough for me to admire the build. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is the same sheet, just that the 66" markings were included on an earlier run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
