tomprobert Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Afternoon, folks Not a huge amount of progress of late due to work commitments, but I've gradually been adding the interior structure of the forward bow section. My measurements have only been approximate and don't look at this as an example of accuracy, I am just hoping to fill out the interior and make it representative of the real thing. First up has been the forward flooring and ladder up to the flightdeck: IMG_0759 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr The raised pierced flooring for the tapered front section is yet to be made - I'm trying to come up with a plan to avoid drilling hundreds of holes... I've added some detail to the areas of the sidewalls that will be visible: IMG_0765 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr IMG_0766 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr The door on the rear bulkhead is, as far as I can tell, not present on the real aircraft and it's an open doorway, but as I'm not going to detailing the room behind I hope the Sunderland aficionados can forgive me..? It looks as if a fair bit will be visible through the forward door, so lots more detail to add in due course: IMG_0768 by Thomas Probert, on Flickr Until next time, Tom Erwin, Starfighter, Trak-Tor and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks for the kind works, folks. Unfortunately there’s not much progress to report of late but I’m slowly working on the centre section ‘bomb room’. Half term next week so hoping to crack on.

I’ve been sidetracked by my 1/48th B-52 project, and at the moment that is having to take priority due to the fact I’ve got a deadline to meet for a book. When the Buff is complete, the Sunderland will be back on the bench. Tom Alain Gadbois, Trak-Tor, Rick Griewski and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
