brahman104 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hi Phil, This is some really outstanding work you've got going on here. It's really good to see more complex projects such as this one come along. They're so inspiring! I'd like to do a Canberra myself one day, but I think after the B-17, I'll be looking for something a little smaller as I'm going to run out of room in my house if I'm not careful! Can't wait to see more Craig Piprm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piprm Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Accessory Parts: Wheel well door / covers - Main Wings : Reference Photos Exterior of door - Next to fuselage ..... Not a view - normally seen!..... I had to crawl under the fuselage of the Aircraft to get this shot.... ....Now getting to work .......A lot of complex shapes and contours going on - in such a simple part! Prepared and Ready for Resin mold! Edited December 24, 2017 by Piprm shbemo13, Lars Befring, AndersN and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piprm Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Now for the Main Wheel - covers: General View / Reference Another Not - So - Simple Part to Duplicate! Again!... very complex shapes going on here - almost 'faceted!' like a diamond on the tail end of the wheel cover ... and a spoon/paddle shape going on in the forward-side! Now to duplicate this ..... I used solid PVC plastic to start my... whittling! .... Boy! what a mess this caused me! (Gritty - Gritty!) .....Now test-fit to main landing gear.... before going any further! Me thinks I got the 'shape' close ... now to construct it with a outer-skin.... ...Now to give them the 'dots' for some realism I also decided to depression-rivet the outer skins because after inspection of the real aircraft, I noticed the outer skin was flush-riveted and the inner-surfaces were mostly pop-riveted.... So I duplicated these as close as I could .... so not to upset any rivet-counters! .....ready to go into the next stage - resin molding Edited December 24, 2017 by Piprm Kagemusha, AndersN, jgrease and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
