fozzy Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi there Time for an up date! Since the last post I have been building all the basic detail on the bottom half of the bomb bay.....this was done by using scrap plastic and my favorite yogurt pots!... What I am trying to do is to get the whole bay ready for the basic interior colour spray before adding more detail. This means that the top half has to be detailed next before the spraying starts! Here is where I am at at the moment........... overall shot looking across the catwalk towards the front bulkhead. looking towards the rear bulkhead looking up through the bomb bay doors aperture top half placed on....and is screaming out to have some detail! So next up is to get the top half's basic detailing done before spraying the aluminum coat and then I can get down to the constructing of the bomb racks /wiring /electric motors /piping etc etc One other thing I did do was to place another skin of yogurt pots over the whole construction to smooth things out a bit before the final Alu tape is added...Perdu....will be pleased about this! Till the next time....cheers Fozzy sandokan, BGB, ShotMagnet and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorbenD Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Lovin' it... a lot. I've just spent far too much time starting to check out some of your previous builds and website - not a minute wasted! Old-school scratching of the highest order!

brahman104 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) I know this area quite well with my dealings on the HK kit and I must say you've certainly done it justice! I only hope mine looks half that good when I'm done with it! Keep up the great work. Craig P.S. What is your plan for the rib detail on the bomb bay walls?

I only hope mine looks half that good when I'm done with it! Keep up the great work. Craig P.S. What is your plan for the rib detail on the bomb bay walls? Hi Craig I am in the process of detail the bomb bay walls at the moment...and looking at my reference photos its not as easy as one thinks!...my "plan" you ask ..is to painstakingly copy what I see in the ref photos using scrap plastic....its going to take time but I think worth it in the end as I have seen the injection molds for some B17 kits and it really does look like a trellis fence!..(especially the HK kit)...see below... Please no dis respect to this model makers photo....its just my opinion The fact remains that it should look like this....... Which of course is giving me no end of headaches!!....but I am enjoying the challenge! I do hope that this answers your question Craig!

fozzy Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hello to all fellow modellers! Here is my next update......................... My last post saw me attempting to put some of the detail on the bottom half of the bomb bay and this post will show my attempts of starting the detail on the top half. I have to say that it took an awfully long time to cut each rib out of yogurt pot plastic...and even longer to glue them in position! As you can see from the photos I have started to place some of the control cables/ electrical wiring/pipes etc....looking at photos of the real bomb bay I can see that there is still more wiring to do! Here is what it looks like so far..................... ....and just to get more of the feel for the project....if not a wee bit of colour!!!.......here is a shot of looking forward through the door way into the cockpit............... So next up will be a tad more detail followed by the base coat of aluminum. Till then...thanks for looking in!
