GuildAero Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi all, this has moved around with us and as far as I know is still all there. I started it ages ago and got too busy to have it on my very small bench, but with work on my model yacht stalled whilst I collect lead for its keel, I have gone back to several model aircraft projects, including this one. Pictures when I drag it out of hibernation! Martin BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 OK, couple of pictures. As it was left 2 years ago at least. It even has cobwebs in it to prove it. The one drawing I have is yellowed and almost crispy! Lovely jubbly. Martin BradG and Zank_Frappa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Very interesting - can you tell us what the differences from the Mk 22 to the XIV low back are ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Oh, can I remember? At present, Thomas, I have a side view drawing. I must seek out a plan view, but the cockpit area is different, the rudder is different, so is the fin. I haven't checked the tailplane yet. The engine cover seems to be a rotten fit whatever version it's supposed to be! Much of the panel lines need to be changed too and the wings are very different. Obviously being a racer the Mk XIVe is unencumbered with guns, cannon and all that stuff, hence the bits of styrene in places on the wings. But I am having to completely re-acquaint myself with the aircraft after such a long break. Martin BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Shape's more or less done on the fuselage, now working on the wings. Can't do pictures as I might end up getting a ransom demand from PB. I don't know how many Gbs I'm running and don't understand all the other stuff. A forum like this should accept pics from people's PCs. Model Ship World does and that's a newly conformed one. So does RC Groups.

Thomas Lund Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) I got the ransom demand from PB, so on the advice of others here I switched to Imgur... works just fine Only I can hardly stand the thought of going through my old builds to replace all the picture links...

GuildAero Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 I don't have enough old builds to bother, fortunately. I might try another picture on PB, see what they do with it. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just a PB test, having had an e-mail from them today. Well this seems to have worked! Martin BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Not quite 'shake-and-bake' huh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Well, Thomas, I shook the bits out of the box I got from ebay and I usually bake Milliput but I thought that unwise with plastic everywhere! But no, it's requiring a lot of work, but that's fine. When I do slot racing body patterns there's always a spare ball of Milliput so that goes on the Spitfire and I don't waste it. My Hornet Moth model has rather taken priority lately, but the Spitfire is still on the bench and I'm currently re-engraving the panels according to the photos of the Cleveland racer.
