Cees Broere Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 --> QUOTE(derek B @ Dec 5 2006, 03:54 PM) 95512[/snapback] Hi Cees, As for your TR1154/1155 radio sets, I also have to make these for my Beaufighter interior detail set...do you have any good reference sources for this equipment? Many thanks Derek Hi Derek, I am going to take the various photo's of the T1154/R1155 sets for you, while I still have them. The 1154 will be swapped soon for some very important Halifax bits. Let me know if the photo's should be posted on the site or mailed directly to you. In the latter case which e-mail should I use. Measurements will be included for reference. If you need any specific details feel free to let me know. Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Back again, I have found some new inspiration to start on the evergoing Halifax build. I have started on the wing centresection and nacelles. As I have built a new tailplane, I was thinking about building a new centresection as well but that was not something I was looking forward to. Surprisingly the provided parts by ID Models were reasonably good and I decided to use them. Over the past week I have been cutting, sanding and fitting as it should be with vacforms but progress is good. Here's the two inner engine nacelles Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 The uppersections of the undercarriage bays with structure added and the undercarriage legs layed out. Work is continuing on the undercarriage bays and the cutting out of the doors which takes a lot of trial and error (measure at least more than twice before cutting once) Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I have lenghtened the inner engine nacelles to give it the typical conical shape to mount the cowling gills on otherwise there was nothing to fit it onto. Fitting a smaller plastic card disc with some scap plastic in between which was then roughly filled with milliput.This is now sanded to shape as well as the undercarriage door aperetures cut out. Also the scratch built tailfins were given the milliput treatment. All they need now is some more sanding to shape and then they can be fitted to the horizontal taiplane. I'm having a ball at the moment. Modelling is fun Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 In the meantime I have been doing some work on the 1:1 Halifax cockpit as well Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Work is concentrating on the undercarriage, the bays and inner wing nacelles. I also tried to represent some of the mainspar structure that can be seen inside the undercarriage bays. Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
