Trumpy ASW Wildcat - almost done


Fanes

Recommended Posts

Final update (or so I thought)

What was left to do?

  • repair the wheel hubs and attach the landing gear
  • repair the scratched belly
  • add the exhausts
  • paint and install the nav lights
  • get the drop tanks in place
  • antenna mast and antenna wire
  • shoot the RFI photos

Well, I thought everything was done right. But during arangement for the glamour shots, I noticed that the wheels weren't as solid as I would have liked.

The opening in the Grey Matter wheels is quite oversized for the Trumpeter axle. So I used 5 min epoxy  and hoped for the best.

This didn't work out of course since even epoxy can't do magic on a butt joint. I'm already working on a solution (hacking up the Trumpy hubs).

Until then there's only one quick photo with a weird camber angle...

One more todo I'd like to add:

What will my next project be? - I'm looking for a fun build before I return to my pink photo recon Spit ;)

 

Cheers

Joachim
