mozart Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Marvellous methodical work my friend, she’s going to look really impressive with all those extra tanks on board. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 First drop tank finished today with fuel lines added from Albion Alloy as the Profimodeller resin parts where overscale and tail fin added Happy with how it's turned out but would definitely not recommend the Profimodeller set at £20 as all that is really worth using are the tanks themselves and the fins but both need plenty of work as well to get them close to using. The Dragon tanks are completely unsuitable and don't resemble the 900 litre tanks at all. Time to get the second one built and then the auxiliary oil tank. Regards.

monthebiff Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Not to much bench time this weekend but have managed to make the auxiliary oil tank which was occasionally fitted to some aircraft. I started out as a bomb from the Tamiya Spitfire Mk VIII kit. Pretty happy with the general fit and look when compared to my references. Regards.

monthebiff Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 After getting side tracked for a couple of months finishing a couple of builds from the SOD it's back to the 110. First up I made a couple of resin teardrops for the fowardcfixing points of the auxiliary oil tank and then completed the tail plane by removing and filling the actuators for the flaps/tabs and the fitting the vertical stabilisers. Time to mask all of the glazing inside and out, not looking forward to this as I've not had the best of luck with the clear parts supplied in these kites in the past! Regards.
