chrish Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 I've added a few little bits of wire and solder to simulate the massive clutter in the gear bays, I think I'd call it about 1/2 done here starting work well under way williamj, Alain Gadbois, Azgaron and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks for looking in on my project. The encouragement is helpful! I'm calling the gear bays completed (for now) I may adjust things a bit later on but I like the look for now (not too bad from a couple of feet away) Pictures showed that every hydraulic system on the plane passes through the nose wheel bay before continuing on to wherever it terminated! I added as much wire and solder as I could tolerate to the bay (enough to give it a cluttered look and a wash with "Tamiya panel line accent color (brown) "dragged down to the bottom of the bay(s) with Q tips and paint brushes to dirty the bays. I can probably think about joining the forward fuselage sections now, I have to remove some ECM bumps as well for the A version, easier than adding bumps I guess... first image is the main bays "done" but missing placards Placards added The nose gear bay as supplied, I thought it was quite detailed on my first build, many years ago... some of the miles of plumbing in the real thing represented with plastic and solder painted, ready to assemble Thanks for looking!

chrish Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Ha ha ha good one! Thanks to all you guys for looking in on me and the encouragement! Ok... according to the reference book and images I'm working from, I had to remove some ECM bumps, while I was at it in the area I took the opportunity to fill some sink marks (not real bad ones) and rescribe some unfinished panel lines. I have, since then, moved on to the main fuselage and poured thick gloss white latex house paint into the engine intakes, (plugging one end with putty) effectively making them seamless...some pictures. A picture of the ECM bumps needing removal (for the A version) one down One of the sink marks ECM bumps gone, sink marks being filled with CA Forward fuselage halves finally joined latex paint poured into the intakes williamj, BradG, mark31 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
