hurribomber Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Inner girder with side plates and stiffener. For the hollow rivets I use thin cuts from the insulation of fine wires.

hurribomber Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 For the undercarriage guide bracket I had a piece of plastic round material. Possibly the same material as the original?? At least the same colour!! :-) For this, a disc is cut off on the lathe. Landrotten Highlander, denders, LSP_Kevin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurribomber Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Next thing is the assisting spring. The construction of the spring cost me a headache.
