brahman104 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm very impressed you managed to get the seats back in through the top turret! That's real "ship in a bottle" stuff right there. The finish on the tyres looks great Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpowder Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks everyone. OK on with the engines. The No1 engine on BBB vas very leaky and appears to have a black/chipped/oil covered gear case , whereas the No2 engine looks relitavely clean. No 2 also has a prop with a silver spinner. Heres the left engine. This was great fun to weather. Very oily. I still need to add the axhaust pipe and stains on both engines. Heres the right one. As you can see it looks alot cleaner Both ready to go on. The grand moment they were fitted. Undersides , ailerons and flaps next....

gunpowder Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 DISASTER STRIKES Today is Friday the 13th and the bad luck has come. With the model nearly done and all going well , i knocked it and the top clear part of the nose dropped on the floor. Before i could get it , our Cocker spaniel grabbed it and cracked it. To say that i am really down about it is an understatement. All that hard work and now its damaged. To add insult to injury its the first anniversary of our little 3 year old Daughters Death tomorrow. Really fed up now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brahman104 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Mate I'm so sorry to hear that. Just have a break for a while. Getting away from a project for a while and clearing the head usually does wonders for me, so hopefully it can for you too. Usually by that stage I've come up with a new plan of attack and I'm re-inspired to give things another go. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
