BloorwestSiR Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Great subject Chris. Nice job on the landing gear.

chrish Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi guys A bit more work being done on this rainy/snowy/icy weekend. Looking in the Daco book, I can add quite a bit to the gear bays, I'm not going to add that much but a little firkytootling in the gear bays what with the stuff Academy has provided as well should clutter them up a bit. The pics. I'm working from: the APU exhaust as supplied new APU exhaust I also opened up the air intakes play continues as the hours go by...

chrish Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks for looking and the kind words! -41 degrees Celsius here today and I booked the day off (my bday) glad I did now! Will be a good day at the bench with a whiskey plastic and resin. Kei, the Canadian seat was from an maker in Calgary Alberta here in Canada called “The Major” he sold exclusively through “uncle” Rick Chin of Uncle Bills Models in that same city. He also did an amazing resin set for the Hobbycraft Canada Tutor kit (Snowbirds) which sold poorly and I think shut him down. I bought a few of the seats planning to do a few color birds, maybe a couple of a’s and a B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
