Urs Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks guys.😄 I wondered about my order of these and just found the letter containing in a stack of unopened letters - lazy me.Arentthey nice? Now the engine belongs to family. Though they are bling-bling they will disapear neath a thin layer of black. The R&R-logo will be still readable after that though of the black on black. tomv87, Lars Befring and tucohoward 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urs Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 The first try to build the replacement bulbs ended up in a blub of the far right buld being bigger in size. Then a 2nd try with steel ball of 1.5mm diameter which were 2 times too big. So I tried for a 3rd time again with transparent parts. The result seems okay and I think with bare eye the size differences are not to see. Then I turned to the air bottles and added some pimping with 0.5mm brass rod and injection needle for the middle section of the bottle connection. The black tape I fixed with two drilled wires I took from a litz wire to simulate two clamps. Piping of the lower bottle bottom according to an internet template. I don't know about the accuracy. The wild running of power supply of the fuse box is correct according to my reference. To be contined……… tomv87 and Lars Befring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urs Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Little by little, the bird builds its nest. After completition of the de-icer lines I turned for towards the oxygen-lines ans rebuilt its oxigene-****. The clear bulbs I made I replaced now be three steel ball of 1mm each for a more even look now. The lever for undercarriage is rebuilt except the housing. Some of the self-adhesive Pes are needed to place before airbrushing. Have some masking work there tomv87 and Lars Befring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Good stuff. I like how you tied those two wires together. Simple yet effective. Nice light bulb scratch. Sincerely, Mark Urs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urs Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) You are asking for that T-coupling of the de-icer device? For easier handling l soft-annealing the copper wires and clean them with sanding paper before bending. Here l just glued with cyanacrylate. After l put a coat of Mr.Surfacer to simulate a T-coupling. Later l'll paint that in silver.

Urs Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 On the WE I put some first color into the pit. Starting coloring with a Tamy XF-71/X-1 mix I blew over a Tam X-1 base. Then brighted up the XF-71 with Tamy XF-3 to highlight the panel centers. For the pit seat I used a XF-9 / XF-1 mix for the seat base color and lightened up with Tamiya XF79 and XF-2 mix. Sorry for the blurry third pic. Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
