alaninaustria Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks for the encouragement gentlemen! Looking forward to making some progress soon! I've managed to obtain the 4-slot main gear and I have started to work on aligning the main gear! Cheers Alan Cees Broere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Greetings! I made some progress with this aircraft! Have started to align the main and tailwheel landing gear... Before painting I had already aligned, drilled and positioned the main oleos but, now I have discovered a few discrepancies in alignment accuracy!!! I really tried to avoid having to do this after painting, but those are the points of the hobby that make it interesting!! Anyhow, not much to see.... I normally glue smaller and delicate parts to old sprue runners for priming and painting! Here you can see the pitot tube and the two inner gear door hydraulic actuators (which unfortunately weren't included in the kit): There is always a challenge in the limited run kits, that is why I enjoy building them!! More to follow! Cheers Alan Edited February 4, 2015 by alaninaustria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Hello gentlemen! Thanks for the nice input - I do appreciate it! Another small update... painted up the Baracuda Resin tyres and added the 'creep marker indicators'... I've hit a pretty hard roadblock with this build as I have discovered too late that the rotational pivot point of the main gear legs are not correctly aligned which has set my main gear geometry off a little... and has left no real room to add the gear doors properly.. so, I have scratch built the small outer gear doors and have completed one scratch built main gear door... the other will be finished in time... the new doors are more scale like in thickness which allows both doors to be properly placed! Lesson learned: before hitting the limited run kits in the future I will make double sure that the gear geometry etc is all up to specs!! I love building these kits, and the PCM kit is really nice, I just need to pay more attention to the small details! Cheers and happy modelling as always! Alan @Hayaman: Soory, bro I can't help you with regards to the Razorback... I discovered after painting the Tempest gear wells that they should be either natural metal or silver doped, not RAF Green!

Guest Peterpools Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Alan Nice work on the tires and wheels. Sure sounds like your plan for the doors will work out just fine. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
