bcauchi Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Thanks for your comments, i must admit it was the most difficult and fiddly part of the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 If i remember correctly the metal legs were from SAC. I just cleaned them up a bit and polished them. nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in the spring I'm not sure they were actually springs, Brian, but rather, rubber boots to protect the oleo pistons. I could be wrong, but that's how it worked on early Fw 190s.

Shawn M Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Kev is correct, they are dust covers for the oleo's BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It's an articulated cover, same concept as the german MG15 ammo chutes for ex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Kev you are right, I put in the spring just to give the leg the shape.. It was then filled in with putty and sprayed and presto looked like the booth. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 some more bits and pieces before the painting started. Brand new engine just out of the crate. It would be supported on c-channels to be taken out of the crate and moved around Note also the temporary legs bolted to the exhaust outlets. Painting beginsScratchbuilt antenna mounts for the revell G4. the actual antennae are from Master. That's all as far as the build goes, next photos will be of the finished birds.
