blackbetty Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 the windshield will have to be fitted permanetly to the fuselage before the vinyl goes on. i think i will paint the frames the final (camouflage) colours before applying them LSP_Kevin, Rainer Hoffmann, Isar 30/07 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 i cant work on the pit because i am still waiting on the seats, so i started to remove the rudder from the fin. there is a pretty prominent crease between the two on the real thing. its hard to get a lean cut on the joined parts, i should have done this before assembling the tail Greg W, chukw, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) i had to scratch the rudder itself out of plasticcard and sprue. its just easier to work with Edited December 24, 2020 by blackbetty Landrotten Highlander, Greg W, red Dog and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 i can add some interest to the fin at least by tilting it to the side.... Anthony in NZ, thierry laurent, MikeMaben and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 didnt have much mojo lately (but who told me to build a kit where i have to scratch 97% of the parts....) some detail on the tail: stiffeners and the bosses for the position lights LSP_Kevin, Starfighter, airscale and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 7 hours ago, blackbetty said: didnt have much mojo lately (but who told me to build a kit where i have to scratch 97% of the parts....) some detail on the tail: stiffeners and the bosses for the position lights cracking job I know what you mean about mojo, I sometimes think I should just build a kit for an easy life, but then if I find myself getting bogged down or pi$$ed off I just move onto scratching something interesting or different on the airframe and it sparks me back up again keep on carrying on, you are doing an outstanding job of this Peter monthebiff and blackbetty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 i toyed with the idea of doing a quick "trainig day" build, but stopping in the middle of this may make it even harder to finish it, so i didnt... what slows me a little is that the parts i mastered and Harold cast for me still didnt make it across the pond (not his fault, they were shipped weeks ago) without the seats i cant start the cockpit, without the wheels no landinggear and without prop blades, i cant do the spinners. oh well, maybe they will show up today thanx for all the likes karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 good news, the wheels i mastered and sent to Harold showed up, he modified my halves to get a one piece wheel no trace of the box he sent first with the seats and prop blades, though Cheetah11 and Greg W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 so i worked a little on the forward part of the engines and the spinners. using a maverick missle head i scratched the fins Greg W, LSP_Kevin, KiwiZac and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) these parts were ceneterd on a used minibrush handle, with a resin disc to center in the engine inlet. the 3D printed spinners were shortened and freed of their propblades Edited January 19, 2021 by blackbetty Kagemusha, scvrobeson, LSP_Kevin and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 dryfitted. the inlet is so small you cant see inside, so its just blacked out LSP_Kevin, patricksparks, scvrobeson and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
