That's some seriously nice work Vic. I'm sure you want to do more so here's a bit. The tank that you painted silver stores a glycol mixture for windscreen de-icing. You can run a line forward for that.

Don't ask me why they run such a circuitous route - maybe the fitter got paid by the foot.

The Orange RainX works the Best!!

Think I'll have to give that one some though Andy.

I thought about.

I think that's enough for this area, it's getting a bit crowded.

P.S. Take no notice of that big pipe, it's just protecting wires that go into the bomb bay.

But that's the best part!

Lovely work so far Vic!

Thanks for stopping by gents. I've been plodding away and now have the wings attached to the main spar framework.
As you can see, it's big. The topside of the wing.

The underside showing the upper part of the bomb bay where the fuel tanks go and the upper wheel well.

The wheel wells where a bit of the kit detail has been highlighted.

The inner wing oil and coolant radiators.

Very tidy details

Very clean and precise work Vic. I'm always amazed at how much more detail you can cram in at 1/32 v's 1/48 scales. Looking forward to seeing more of this one taking shape.

Looks great Vic. However, "air filters" should be "oil and coolant radiators". Cockpit air heaters also there.

Call it a brain f**t! New it was wrong just couldn't be bothered to go check...................getting lazy.

Good work so far Vic!

A little more progress gent. The wingtips are on so that is the wing part finished (sorry, no pic).

We have a body and considering the amount of extra junk I put in there, it all went extremely well. As you can see, part of the tail is also done as well as the tail wheel being fitted. At this scale, the chances of me not damaging it are probably in my favour.............................fingers crossed!

The areas with much detail.

Thanks for taking an interest gent and many thanks for the kind comments.

That is looking the duck's gut's Vic. Nice work.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks Grant.

Beautiful work. Nice innards. I can just smell the birch, spruce and balsa.
I really like that black tube part.
That really is beautiful work.
