Thanks @fiveten and @johnb, but really it is all down to AM products. . .
Not quite finished
but getting there
Last time I wondered if the cockpit would be finished for my next post. Not so – a lot of time wasted in the saltmines lately and not so much time at the bench. However, progress is made on a smaller scale than expected.
Apart from the IP, the converted fairing for the airintake is glued in place
-
1. Cut open and thinned
2. thinned
-
1. small handles escaped the carpet monster!
2. Spade from sprue!
and most of the IP installed. Still needs a few bits and some more paint.
Speaking of air, the radiators has been opened to enable a greater flow of air
-
1. ahh - cool air
2. closed a gap
as these are operated by the temperature, they were often open when the plane were on the ground. Especially on a hot summers day.
next up it is hoped to have a few major parts assembled – tune in and check in a few months time!
