Cheers, Tom Really enjoying just focusing on just a cockpit knowing I've not got a massive airframe to also deal with! Thank you so much for sending me your 424 Squadron spares from your build.

Bomber Command nut Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Andy I dont know if you are aware but on the starboard side of the cockpit there is no need for the ASI position so can I suggest you scrape it off and fill the hole ?? I'm impressed with your scratch building and additional detailing, I look forward to seeing more. I obtained the David Brown tractor from Iconicair and the detailing is spot on, I scratch built the bomb trolleys . . . .

Regarding the ASI, I wasn't aware of this and will have a look. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Some more progress and decided to replicate the fairly rudimentary hinge on the rear bulkhead. I decided to use 5thou plastic card and then sanded it down some more before fitting followed by Archer riret decals to finish. Wiring added to the service panel after drilling location holes and then the assembly glued in to position. Also one for Tom as he mentioned to me I should improve the U/C lever which I missed so with some careful drilling I got to this and decided to leave it there before breaking something! Thinking thats the cockpit floor done now so working my way through the side panel details now.

geedubelyer Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hi Andy, neat work. The extra detail is sure to enhance the way this kit looks when complete. Quick question.....do you anneal your copper wire? monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't add any that won't be seen through like the one under the pilots pedestal. Regards. Andy Greg W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will make the detail worthwhile especially when viewed from the rear open fuselage. Sometimes I anneal my wire but depends what I'm doing but on this occasion no I didn't. Regards.

monthebiff Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Some more work done over the weekend detailing the starboard fuselage half. Added junction boxes next to the service panel as well as the fuel gauge panel for the flight engineer. All detailing added with plastic card and Airscale brass details. I then moved on to boxing in the front of the flight engineers side panel and running the wiring in. Just the bomb aimers position to detailing now and the onntonthe port side. Pretty happy with progress so far. Regards.Andy Uncarina, Anthony in NZ, Out2gtcha and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
