jenshb Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 No detail seems to be too small to be a model in it's own right... Jens airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airscale Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 thanks folks & good evening ,,a bit more done over the weekend.. ..this is the sidewall of lopes Hope - as you can see there is lots going on, so pert of the process is deconstructing what you see into small assemblies.. I had most of the structural work done, so time to prime with etch primer.. ..one side.. ..and the other - this is the side you see above in the real one.. ..after painting green, I started to add some of the fittings and decals including the pedestal... ..and on the other side, some of the switchgear.. ..a couple of small control units were needed so I made these and prepared a number of watch parts for the fittings... ..making these convinced me I needed a 3D printer from santa this year as I could have just knocked them up... ..I also made and added these inner parts to the main longeron at the cockpit sill - the brass 'H' section I used was 0.5mm too small and that was enough to mean all the decals along the side didn't fit - so I took the drawings and scaled these I could just laminate to them.. ..that meant I could really start to add in all the decals and placards... ..and a check to make sure all the subassemblies go together to make the cockpit pod.. ..should be moving onto the floor, rudder pedals and control stick next...

R Palimaka Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) This made me smile. I was looking at the cockpit photos of the real Lope's Hope you posted above and I wasn't sure if it was the real thing or your model. Had to check the captions. Absolutely astonishing work. And as others have said, a valuable reference for anyone building or researching the P-51B/C.
