well lads,
been fighting again with this heap
the front canopy is now on and looks OK, i just had to put it down for a few days it was getting me down
and i've badly cut a finger again on this model i've cut my fingers open 7 times now due to the blade slipping while i'm trimming it all the time, i wonder if i can claim :ha:
i cut open the blanking part by drilling a circle then used a remer to enlarge the hole.
i've covered up the back of the flight panel with foil tape, this shouldn't be seen and must be a design fault at the FM factory.
the clear parts are a little tricky to fit, you have to keep trimming until they fit
i've added a bomb camera lense, this is a landing light but still does the trick.
close up of the tamiya lense, nice addition to it.
looks a little better than the blandness of the lower part of the nose.
i've noticed that the rear turret sits too low and will have tobe built up a bit.
this is where the turret should align up... close to the rear fairing.
rear tail planes where at least a bit more easyer, the fit was OK.
i was goint to do them with dropped flaps but i thought SOD IT, got enough on my plate allready
the cooling flaps have had to be chopped up to fit either side of airscoupes, yet another part that doesn't fit.
i'm having the landing light pointing down the part on the right is from an airfix lancaster put these two together and you have rear lights which will fit behind the lense.
thanks for looking and readin.... ian.
