Out2gtcha Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I added the lower fuselage details, like some of the mounting hardware for the rocket booster (will not be adding that, but needs the mounts still) as well as the airspeed intake indicator on the side which I forgot to take pics of : I also had to sink a plastic tube into the nose, in order to have the main fuse fit correct, as well getting the hole for said fuse perfectly round: Next, was getting the dolly finished. Some very slight weathering here, and all I really have left is assembly: MORE........................... ghatherly, sandokan and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Here is the dolly, dry fit together to see how it looks. Flat spots seem in the correct places. Wheels will get aligned once they are actually glued to the dolly: [ Then I removed the wheels, and glued in the stanchions that support the model on the dolly. Once I had those temporarily glued on, I taped the whole model/dolly combo on a flat piece of tile, so the glue could dry the stanchions at the correct angle to the Ohka's wings: This is where the weight that I added in the nose earlier came in handy. The model self supported, even as cantilever as it appears when on the dolly, as the 1:1 Ohka has the extremely heavy warhead in front that counterbalances. Till next time! sandokan, Shawn M, Iain and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Brian,​ Excellent progress for sure. What I love most about your builds is both your thought process, and how you explain it to us in words and pictures. Well done. As for the update, outstanding as usual. Centering any hole for me is a major challenge that a one eyed half blind old guy al ways struggles with. Yours came out perfect. The dolly looks great. Your method for gluing the stanchions correctly in place is fool proof. BTW, I like the toothpick idea of securing those cups from spilling over.

Its not the worlds toughest kit to build, nor is it the most detailed or complex, but so far it is a fun build. I guess I should get the "not so complex" build out of the way, as I have pretty much the exact opposite (as in VERY large, VERY complex and VERY tough build) type of build coming up!

Say, not a bad ideEEER............... I was hauling out the stash last night to look for a Hasegawa kit to review, but tossing this one in the mix might be a good idea too! *EDIT* - Just looked and looks like Mike already did a review on it: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1545 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ok, I've actually been working on this little jewel, in between testing a DIY camera photography box I made, making a review for a not reviewed yet Hasegawa kit, and realizing that my lighting setup, is very inadequate. Progress pics in a sec..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Got the windscreen glued on, all the rest of the remaining scribing done, and also got all the flying surfaces glued on, including the elevator control horn. First order of business was to paint the IJN interior color painted on the outside of the windscreen: The ailerons needed a bit of trimming to align with the rest of the stubby wings, but a couple of swipes with the sanding stick took care of that. I also added the PE hinge parts to them: The horizontal tail surfaces, elevators and both rudders, including the one I had to scratch 1/2 of again after loosing it, also got glued on: Finally an overall coat of black Mr Surfacer 1500 was applied: Finally, no its not some kind of new IJN camo, as I took a light gray pencil and highlighted all the dents, scratches and imperfections that needed to be addressed before the next light coat of primer. LOTS to do yet! All in all, its proceeding as I need it too, as I would have to move it soon to the small side of the bench anyway, since its on the main section ATM, and Ill need that main larger section for my upcoming Tigercat build. Im hoping to have this one knocked out in the next few weeks so I can move on to the F7F on the main section of the bench, and even possibly put the little Extra 300 SC back on the smaller bench section since I now have a replacement canopy.

CANicoll Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Brian, Very cool build! As for your marking up the 'imperfections'... Looked great to me! Could easily have been chalked up to WWII war-time engineering. Nice work!! Chris Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
