Gazzas Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks for looking and commenting everyone! After a few day break, I got back into what I hoped would be the final touch-ups and final clear coats. I've used almost an entire bottle of MRP gloss clear. And a lot of microfibre cloth. too. It's become very hard to handle. It slides off the felt pads that I stuck to the jig. And it doesn't grip the fingers, either. I have to grasp the wings and fuselage as if it were a hammer. Here's how she looks ATM: I dare say I'm ready fopr detail painting and attaching the landing gear. Thanks for looking!

Gazzas Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi again, I'm glad to say that we are standing on all three! At first once the wheels were down, the starboard side wingtip was 15mm higher than the portside. Fortunately I discovered this while the glue was still soft. The main problem was that one gear was too far forward. Attached the pilot's step, too. I added a pitot tube made of .7mm brass tube with a .5mm brass rod inserted. I used copper wire to effect the landing gear indicators on each wing. I'll have to add a 'brunt-effect' to the exhaust stubs. Was glad to finally lift the masks from the windscreen. Thanks for looking! We're real close, now! Gaz Out2gtcha, Shiba, Alain Gadbois and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
