Many thanks for providing them. Kev DerekB 1

DerekB Posted June 8 Author Posted June 8 Adding missing details to the inside of the fuselage sides, and building the floor for the rear fuselage floor. There's going to be a lot going on in the rear fuselage, with two flare tubes (with hatches), F-24 camera (with hatch), Aldis sight (for framing vertical photos), Mark VII bomb-sight (with hatch), antenna reel, bomb-aiming instrument panel, bombing control panel, and the TR.11B radio installation. scvrobeson, LSP_Kevin, KiwiZac and 5 others 8
DerekB Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM A bit of work completed over the long weekend (following a short visit to Melbourne's Model Expo on Saturday morning for a quick catch-up with modelling and publishing friends)... With the fuselage frame taped securely to a flat surface (upside down) it was time to attach the floor of the aft fuselage. Some Revell Contacta Professional (?!!) made quick work of this step: It was then left to dry until this evening when I carefully cut through the sellotape and tested the fit inside the fuselage... looking good! I still need to add a few more tubes to the fuselage framework, then I can start installing "furnishings" as they called them back in the 40s... LSP_Kevin, Kais, patricksparks and 10 others 13
scvrobeson Posted Tuesday at 04:21 PM Posted Tuesday at 04:21 PM Great progress. Always impressed by the skills of you guys that can scratch-build. Matt Martinnfb and DerekB 1 1
LSP_Kevin Posted Tuesday at 11:04 PM Posted Tuesday at 11:04 PM Fantastic update, Derek! It really looks amazing at this stage. Sorry I missed you at Expo - would have been great to meet in person! Kev Martinnfb and DerekB 2
KiwiZac Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago This is looking utterly superb Derek, bravo. I'm excited so see what the next steps are. I bagged a KH T-6 for a song and am eager to fix the gear bays and mounts (to be built as an RNZAF Harvard), so it's neat to see someone doing it. DerekB 1
