Wolf Buddee Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Sorry but this is essentially a repeat of my last post made in Works in progress. She's finally done and it only took two and a half days to get if finished. Talk about being soooo close and yet so far eh? The cowl panels actually fit a lot better than I thought they would but not quite perfect. As they're quite fiddly to install I won't be fitting and removing them all too often but I needed to know it could be done. I'd like to thank everyone that helped me by providing drawings, photos, and encouragement to persevere and see this build to the end. This was truly an international effort! Comments and critique welcome and on to the final pics! Cheers, Wolf Edited April 14, 2014 by Wolf Buddee D.B.

scvrobeson Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 That is absolutely beautiful. Good to see it finally finished up and in your case. Following the build was a great journey, and one that was great to follow along on. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look at my pics again after i read your post. Believe it or not but the panel lines do have a wash in them but it looks like my lighting set up has diminished them quite a bit. Not sure why either but it may be because the wash is a bit on the thin side. Hhhhhmmmmmm........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the build was a great journey, and one that was great to follow along on. Matt Thanks Matt. It was quite a journey indeed. Now that it's done I can fully focus on my Mustang build. I don't think I'm going to add the same level of detail to the Packard Merlin though, LOL! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
