Uncarina Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Matt, That engine looks amazing, and a great start to the cockpit! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vynce804 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi All, Another quick update. The cockpit is now almost finished but you will notice there is no seat yet...i did have the really nice barracuda resin seat and had just about finished painting it when i broke it!...anyway another is on the way. After i put in the engine there is still a lot of plumbing to put around it and some of it is a real challenge! for example pipe D01..as can be seen in the pic of the instructions. Now as hard as i tried i couldn't get it in...im wondering if any of you have managed better than me and if there is some sort of special technique to get it in...If you have any suggestions please let me know. Other than the cockpit i have been painting some of the structure that goes into the wing (please ignore the state of my work area!), I've made a start on the prop and the cannons are coming on, though they are still a work in progress.

Cheers, Tom Thanks Tom, the highlights are something I’m using more and more as the contrast they give really brings the model to life... for me anyway! They are difficult to get right and I’m still finding my way with it... I’ve already re-painted the canons as I didn’t like the end result... well I did say they were still a work in progress. I should hopefully close the wings and fuselage in the next few days so maybe I’ll start to catch you up a bit! cheers Matt Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vynce804 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 A few more progress pics. The radiator is now mounted to the engine..very tricky especially when everything is painted and quite delicate. The auxiliary plumbing was the worst part but its in now! Ive also mated the internal structure to the lower wing and will let the glue dry for a day or 2 before i do anything else with it. still plenty to do though, i repainted the canons and am much happier 2nd time around and have painted my replacement seat....ill try not to break it this time!

Vynce804 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi All, Progress is slow at the moment, but I'm still making progress! Gun bays are painted and weathered as are the wheel wells. All the wing internal structure is in (boy was it fiddly!) and I've finally managed to get the wings together! fuselage is also joined and that should go on in the next few days. Im starting to see light at the end of the construction tunnel! cheers Matt Trak-Tor, Out2gtcha, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
