pg265 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi, Thank you I made and temporary installed the soft fuel cell. We call it Bladder for aircrafts... It was not modeled by MFH and, even if the polished metal part is nice, the front end was too empty for my taste. The fuel cell fills the both sides and the front body above the pilot legs. I made it from self amalgamating tape which depicts pretty well the rubber bladder. Then, rivets.. I finally installed about 300 and need around 300 more. So I primed, painted and varnished those ...300 rivets. Wheels done and Balancing weights installed, made of... Lead. More soon.

Brett M Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 That is soooo good looking. I don’t envy you making those rivets or painting them, but....they look the part! Thanks for sharing the progress! pg265 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringleheim Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 This modeling work is just outstanding! The photographs are great too.

pg265 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hi, Thank you very much Mates! First of all, the right picture a the previous post Well, the last 2 days have been productive! The front is finished, the back is finished, the middle ... also ... Some touch-ups and Dzus to install, a clean up and PAF!: It smells of stable! Here are some pictures for which I apologize in advance for the cleanliness of the model. But it is heavy and the last assemblies require full hand handling. Et une avec la petite soeur quand même The end soon... Pascal rafju, mustang1989, LSP_K2 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Looking at those parts, it's no wonder their kits are so darned expensive. Amazing stuff. pg265 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pg265 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Good evening Mates, A sincere big thank you to everyone for your patience, your interest in this WIP and your comments. I'm glad you liked this build. That's it, the last touch-ups are done, the last parts installed and the last minute adjustments made. So I redid the wedges that support the Belle with a slightly increased "ground clearance". They are turned in a 10mm aluminum log for more solidity and stability, the Baby is doing well: 1.4kg ... and decorated with Cavallino. I connected the last tube and made a little oil to inject it inside. Here are some images of the finished model. I will certainly do more later.
