mozart Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Those resin radiators look nice! The actual radiators are the kit ones Gaz, it's the housing (slightly deeper on the G-4) which John provides. You may have meant those anyway?

Out2gtcha Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Lovely work Andy, and EXCELLENT problem solving! I think that is a mark of a very food modeler; one who doesn't spent any time on the kit wondering "why", but instead comes up with solutions. This is no doubt a big, complete and very complex conversion John has given us and by that very nature, there are going to be issues to be worked out. Can't wait to get started on mine! monthebiff and mozart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Those resin radiators look nice! As Max mentioned Gaz, they are actually the Dragon kit parts and nicely detailed to. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Brian, the G-4 for me is a little like the Tigercat for you and there is no way this will not get finished and as you say its just a case of getting stuck in and coming up with solutions to problems!

monthebiff Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) So continuing my need for some easy no brainer work on this one I worked on getting the rear stabilesers converted. First up was to remove the unwanted rudder from each half Then the new resin parts were cleaned up and pinned ready for fitting. And the finished sub assemblies less the PE which I wll fit later in the assembly process. Each rudder looks like it nedds building up a little at the bottom as theycome up a little short and in fairness John does mention this in his instructions. The belly moulding has had its unwanted chutes filled with plastic card followed by the extra resin fairing piece added which I recieved this week. Then it was time to get back to some more inticate work so then concentrated on getting the wiring loom and air tubes added to the lower MG installation. and a quick test fit into the cockpit floor. Oxygen hoses and final details added to the ammunition boxes in readyness for paint As ever, thanks for looking in and comments/ critisicm always welcome. Regards.

Wouter Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Wow Andy, looking good. Please enlighten me, how do you get those wires lined up so perfectly? Feeling pretty mediocre seeing that... And those oxygen hoses, where are they from. Homemade? Can't wait to see more progress. Cheers, Wouter monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I agree! Those wires look awesome. Did you paint something on the center seat to give it that "sat-on" look? Gaz monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor John Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just fantastic - sorry about the rudders everybody - hope not a big job. I was using scale plans and I really thought I had just made the stabilizers not very well and not finished off the borttoms of them monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Scarborough Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I am following along here and am sincerely enjoying watching fine model building, and great communication, going on. As I have been pretty much involved with WWI, I was not aware of the AIMS offerings until I saw Aitor Azkue's JU-388 diorama and to say that my interest has been fired up would be an under statement. I'm sure you gents might have suggestions on build logs I might have a look at for that particular conversion. I'm not sure I really want to wade in at this point, but seem to already have one tow in the water. Cheers from NYC, Michael monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
