hurribomber Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 To complete the inner side of the front spar, the air reservoir should be installed, which is attached with clamps. The tank is turned from solid aluminium rod. LSP_Kevin, patricksparks, TorbenD and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurribomber Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 The holding clamps are a bit fiddly to make... GMK, LSP_Kevin, patricksparks and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurribomber Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Assembly is only possible with tweezers, and good nerves... especially adding the M 0,6mm screws...+ nuts... Alex, daHeld, LSP_Kevin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurribomber Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 the clamps are not yet tightened, as the tank will only be definitely installed later on. that's it for now. Until next time.

airscale Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 just incredible! seeing this build up from scratch and especially in metal is spellbinding do you have drawings for all these parts? I toyed with doing a Hurricane but wasn't sure how may drawings there are - I know Aircorps Library has it listed so you use them?

Nighthawk Calling 1 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Just amazed at the level of detail and workmanship on show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) @airscale, I think the drawings are sourced from: https://warbirdsrestoration.com/shop/hurricane/hurricane-all/hurricane-drawings/ Also a visit to Hawker restorations (somewhere in the UK) seems to be part of the journey here. https://hawkerrestorations.co.uk/the-company/ Edited February 6, 2023 by Jim Barry Landrotten Highlander, MikeMaben and KiwiZac 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurribomber Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thank you guys for the kind words @ Peter: I bought drawings about 10 years ago from Ian Hudson of copyzone for £200.- ...But unfortunately it does not exist anymore As Jim mentioned warbirdsrestoration could be an alternative source. Many parts I have rebuilt from photos, because I do not have all the drawings. During my visit to Hawker Restorations I was able to photograph many details that helped me with my project.
