MikeMaben Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 (edited) I was asked how the engine was mounted so I went back and reviewed the process. Discovered I'd made a mistake in showing the parts I left out. The ring around the engine that connects to the push rod tubes is NOT left out, it fits unto a recess inside the cowling which is the only attachment needed. So that, the cockpit and the tail end turbine are the only things needed in the interior.

DugyB Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Making more sense now, did you then glue the lower cowling directly to the fuselage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Yep ... I got it lined up, then attached it on the sides with tape , then applied liquid glue around the seam with a hypodermic needle. DugyB and dennismcc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 (edited) Got some more markings on, Serial on tail is a stencil, others are Alps printed. Some ugly silvering , waiting for something in the mail. These pix look more green than IRL.. This one has better color ... Thanks for lookin' . p.s. the squadron badge (rooster) and the numeral 5 are from an Eaglecals decal (excellent decals) Edited March 19 by MikeMaben chaos07, mozart, LSP_Kevin and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furie Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Very nice work Mike! I've rarely seen a plane with so many markings, it's really impressive. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Nice work, Mike. The cowling attachment is very inventive given the number of parts you didn't use. Cheers, Michael MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
