**** DONE: GB-36 1:48 Macchi C.205 ( 2 ) - Axis Manufactured Aircraft of WWII

I like the look of the HAS panel despite it being more of a pain.

It does Andy and hopefully the rest will be okay. This is where the two treads separate, the difference being that the other aircraft has MGs and this one has canons. Wing parts with the 2 canons (forgetting to include engine mounts)...

​

The MGs need to be removed and I've just barely opened the holes to receive the canons. I'm also going to have to fill in the circular panel lines but that will be a later date. Camp bus in 45 minutes, have a good week gentlemen........

Have a safe trip Geo.

Safe travels!

Thanks guys. First three days were a mess, temperatures were between -2°C - 0 which meant the haul trucks pounded the road crush into the ground as fast as I could bring it to the surface. Got the MGs removed, corresponding circular panel(?) lines filled and sanded and the two panel lines on either side rescribed.

​

Get these together and then figure out why there is such a tight fit with the wheel well/wing/fuselage fit.

Making good headway.

Looking good George

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far George!

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. My new parts holder arrived today...

​

....did some sanding around the wheel well insert and the fit is now great. Wings and tail feathers should be on tonight, time frame depending how quickly the Canucks start to suck

 

[Crimea_River]

See you back at the bench after 5 seconds.

Go Flames.

I chose to attach the lower wing first, there was a lot of flex at the wing roots when I test fit the entire wing assembly. The fit at the underneath at the rear of the wing/fuselage join is almost seamless, a first for me.

Taking shape nicely Geo

 

[Airframes]

Yep, good progress.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. In between modelling I've been assembling grandkid Ezra's table top race track; 8 million pieces, all assembly required including the screws it seems. Once I had the center piece screwed on a bad feeling came over me: a quick check with the dimensions showed it would not fit through any door in my house once assembled so everything was moved into the room now designated "The Freakin" Room This Thing Will Spend the Rest of Its Freakin Life In" room.
