Alain Gadbois Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 What a great project! I didn't know either there was a Sunderland in 1/32. It actually seems quite a well done vac. Alain tomprobert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a great article on the Anson in this month's 'Aeroplane' and I thought of your build when I saw it. All the best, Tom Thanks for the heads up Tom, I'm popping over to the model centre in Frome today so I'll look for a copy in Smiths, the more references the better! tomprobert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 I had a very productive day on the Sunderland yesterday - the opening up of the portholes is now complete. As with the port side fuselage, I carefully measured the plans and transferred the position of the portholes onto the fuselage before opening them up: Window apertures by Thomas Probert, on Flickr The trickiest part was ensuring that they were all perfectly aligned and identical, but hopefully this photo shows they're close enough to pass a cursory glance: Window alignment by Thomas Probert, on Flickr Here are the two fuselage halves with their portholes finished and I can now continue with more detailing work on the fuselage: Rear Turret Aperture by Thomas Probert, on Flickr A useful size comparison when compared to my iPhone: Size Comparison by Thomas Probert, on Flickr And this is where my attention will be turning now: Interior by Thomas Probert, on Flickr As you can see the interior isn't exactly brimming with detail, so plenty of scratch-building ahead! I'm hoping to make the most of the last couple of days of my holiday before returning to work on Monday - there maybe another update before the weekend is out but it'll depend on whether I can persuade the wife to go out somewhere for the day Tom Dragon, Daniel Leduc, chukw and 23 others 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
