Ted Barrett Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi Tnarg, Yes, I've always wanted to do the Felix scheme from the box top with the white designating colour ever since I bought the kit in the 70's, just never got around to building the kit...lol I'm going to be working on it again tonight so that I can post some more pics tomorrow.

Ted Barrett Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, Painfully, painfully, I have managed to survive another photobucket session...lol I may have to break down and pay them the money they want just to see if that will help speed things up. Anyway, here are some shots with all the seams cleaned up and the wheels in place. Hopefully I can get the interior painted this weekend and post some pics of the interior and the fuselage glued together.

Shaka HI Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Seriously, dude...use IMGUR.COM. Site was down a few minutes for me this weekend (maintenance), BUT my picts still rendered on the forums (YES, browser cache cleared). Love the look of this little aeroplane!

mozart Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Ted, don't bother sending Photobucket a penny, it won't change a thing other than giving you more space that you can't upload to! I've gone to Imageshack, pretty good so far! Max MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Barrett Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Thanks Shaka and Max, I'll look into both sometime in the over the weekend, AND I won't send photobucket any money. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Barrett Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Thanks Peter and Hakan. I've been enjoying working on the kit. It obviously isn't up to current standards, but still fully deserving of being built! I just have to figure out whether the interior was painted aluminum or light grey so that I can get more progress in the next day or two.

RBrown Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Here are some period interior shots that appear to be painted. Shaka HI and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Barrett Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks RBrown! From what you sent I can now go ahead and spray a light grey on the interior and then spend tonight and tomorrow night picking out the other interior bits and pieces. By the end of the weekend I should have the fuselage glued together! Yahoo! Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Good eye on those interior shots. They are obviously not the same color as the metal wheel so they have to be painted. Somehow I got this crazy idea that they were left natural metal, but that is not in agreement with the photos. Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Barrett Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hi Tnarg, Yes, I think from looking at the shot that shows the interior and exterior surfaces at the same time, I'm going to go with the light grey that would be on the metal areas of the metal panels for the interior as well. Spraying will commence as soon as I get my hockey clothing in the wash! Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Barrett Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Thanks Mr b, I shall shortly be at the modeling table spraying the interior and the bottom of the wings. Then it will be back to do battle with photobucket...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) This takes me back. I remember making this in the 70s some time and thought it built up quite well. Also a Curtiss Dive bomber (BF2C-1)with retractable u/c. Made a good display pair. Left them at my parents house and they got destroyed over time.
