Throttle up!
Having prioritized the Aegean Ghost F-16, my Cicogna was left idling for a good two weeks...
The Great news is that many amazing new entries have arised to our Louis's @lgardner wondeful Empire of Japan Group Build!
So, here she is throttling up again!
As said in previous postings, wheel wells were non-existant, so I fabricated some kind of wheel well. Not liking the looks (too many gaps etc), I refabricated them by adding a "Π" shaped piece of sheet styrene, which will form the (let us call it) well main body. I then attached a suitably cut piece at the front and the result is this:
-
1. Ribbing will be added
2. This part will be left "as is"
I will leave the aft part "as is", since it is too much work to box it. The fact is that it is practically invisible, whatever sight of it being blocked by the aft gear strut.
Tiny amounts of liquefied styrene were used to secure and strengthen those flimsy well "walls".
Upon glue curing, I will add some stretched sprue ribbing to make the bland walls look more "interesting".
Thanks for stopping by!
