BloorwestSiR Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Thanks everyone! Peter, it was a great party for my mother in law. Harv, I think you'll do just fine on yours. Andy, I'm definitely out of my comfort zone but I think it's been well worth it. Shaka, I'm getting there. Hopefully I'll be done soon.

BloorwestSiR Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Speaking of progress, I've finished the rigging for the main wings now. I'm now onto the control surfaces which I need to paint and assemble to the fuselage. Carl Jan_G, Shaka HI, Uncarina and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Looks awesome Carl. The last picture with the rigging closest to us looks like it needs to be tightened up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks Shaka! You're right about the rigging. I noticed it after I took the pic so I'll fix it when I do the other lines. Before I could get to those, I decided to do some of the decals. Normally, I'd use paint masks but there aren't any available for the Snipe so I had no choice but to use the kit decals. They're working out much better than i expected which is a great thing. Once I get these out of the way, I'll finish the rigging and then final assembly (I hope).

BloorwestSiR Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks Shaka and Hubert! It is a fairly colourful scheme, especially with the struts in blue. I've almost finished completing the decal work. Carl Shaka HI, mozart, MikeC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm loving this Snipe Carl, what a typically clean and precise build you've done to showcase this lovely little plane. I bought mine on the strength of your build, I'm looking forward to getting on with it....another 56 squadron aircraft to accompany the Hurricane, Typhoon and Meteor.

BloorwestSiR Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks everyone! I'm still plugging away at it. The biggest headache is the rigging and I can only do a bit at a time before I go bonkers. On that note, the rudder is on and rigged: I've also installed the landing struts. The main struts seem to be numbered backwards in the instructions so take care. So I have the control surfaces and tires left. And the prop.

MikeC Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Lovely! Having seen this, I feel I must get mine started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks Mike! Hopefully you'll be able to do so. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 I started working on the last few bits. I masked off and painted the wheels. So here it is on wheels now. I applied the decals to the control surfaces. Once those are dry, I'll attach the control horns and get them onto the plane.
