Guest Vincent Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) The landing flaps retraction/deployement pneumatic ram : The line guards are being redone - the waffle pattern wasn't defined enough for my taste Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) And here are the new line guards, much much better ! Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Got a bit more done. I finished rear frames and glued them in place to make detailling the left side an easier task. You will note the crash pylon reworked as the VIII had a different arrangement. In particular the beam between the frames was replaced by a steel tube : I also redid the heel board frame as i found that my first attempt wasn't good and symetrical enough more soon Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not doing pattern work anymore. I'm building it for myself. It's a one off V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Now that i'm starting to add the electrical wiring on the left side, the need of the various modifications i did becomes more evident : Next will be the pneumatic system or the throttle block, not sure which one first Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vincent Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) A world of spaghettis : Lol I added the gun camera mount and the TR1133 frequency selector. It is predrilled and will get its loom as well Edited April 5, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Again, nice detail work, Vincent! Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 2 steps forward, one back Had to revise the wiring routing. Added the cockpit left light and the dust filter control. The command cable is only there for the pic. It will be added after i have painted the sidewalls But this part is now more less done. I'll now take care of the the instrument panel support frame with its fuel tank selectors levers (once again different compared to the IX) V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 And here are the tank selectors On the right, lever for the main tanks and on the left lever for the wing tanks I'm redoing the brake relay valves - i did the wrong version. It should be the Dunlop MKII. Hopefully tomorrow i'll have it done as well V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) And here we have the new Dunlop valves and the start of the pneumatic system, namely the pressure equalizer The real valves : Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) And the parts in place. Starting to look good ! I also corrected the electrical fuel pump filter box Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
