blackbetty 4,956 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) after some other unsucsessfull attempts at the frame, i drew it with illustrator and cut it out of black vinyl that had been shot with grey. so the outside is grey and the inside is black. these are not the final versions, still some assymetry there Edited December 4, 2020 by blackbetty scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander, Starfighter and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites

blackbetty 4,956 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 scvrobeson, Cheetah11, MARU5137 and 12 others 15 Link to post Share on other sites
blackbetty 4,956 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 LSP_Kevin, Starfighter, chukw and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites
blackbetty 4,956 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 red Dog, Starfighter, GDW and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites
blackbetty 4,956 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.... Starfighter, scvrobeson, LSP_Kevin and 9 others 12 Link to post Share on other sites

blackbetty 4,956 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 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 scvrobeson, GDW, Landrotten Highlander and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites

blackbetty 4,956 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 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 post Share on other sites
blackbetty 4,956 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 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 GDW 2 Link to post Share on other sites
