I did not delay, right?

These are the clearest images that were used to copy the windows that will be opened in our AW177

(images obtained from the internet)

After choosing a suitable and proportional acetate piece to make these windows, I gave it a polish with novus2 and later a bathroom in Future, to make the piece as clear and as transparent as possible, from I will get the 3 windows.

This is how the piece will stay until tomorrow, so that it is ready to work on it.

On the other hand I want to tell you that after a little more than 5 hours (... ...) I have 85% of the masking of the bubble-greenhouse !!, ... it has been a crazy job !, but I think that I'm winning!

I´m going for less, but I will continue another day, for now I'm going to rest and look for a good movie to watch!

Have a great start of the week!

I have taken with philosophy to mask the bubble-greenhouse.
The truth has been fun, but at the same time the dedication and care to do a good job (slowly but surely ), I had been sitting for a long time and the shoulders, lower back and buttocks, have complained. But it's worth it.
It's one of the stages that I like the most.
I appreciate your attention and all your comments (that's another reality)

Saludos y excelente Lunes amigos míos

I know very well what you mean my dear friend Professor Airframes, but your work supports that effort.
And for those of us who love this (and here we are many), it's worth it, while we continue learning.
I send you a fraternal hug Terry, thank you for commenting.

 

[Airframes]

Thank you my friend !

gran trabajo nos expones por el momento compañero!!!!!!

The front window was alerted on the instrument panel was operated by handles in the shape of a half moon, with teeth on the inside as a couple of hooks to keep it open while the plane flew. It is an image that in the information that happens to you, I think I remember to be disassembled apart from the amount.
for the side window it was the same way (saving the distances from one plane to the other but in the same way manufactured), which were the windows of me bf 109 a to e.

The thing is a work of art

I don't think I could sit still long enough to get as far as you have

It's a flattering comment, dear nsmekanik ... really time flies by, sometimes I do not realize the hours, until it occurs to me to get up for something ... and I'm hooked!
What I'm already doing is setting an alarm every hour, to get up and stretch. But this usually happens from Friday night to Sunday. During the week, except for some sleepless nights, they are short sessions.
This weekend I exaggerated, because we had only one commitment on Friday night. I wanted to move forward as much as possible.

I'm finishing organizing the photos that follow, I hope not to be late.

Gracias y saludos hasta Nanton (China?)

Continuing with the photos of the weekend, I was finally able to work on the landing light.

I started with sandpapers of 400 and 650 to remove excess putty

I came to scare me with the sanding, I thought I had exaggerated and damage the piece !!

I began to work with the set of fine sandpaper that I have, and I spent a lot of time on each one, sanding first dry and then wet ... in that way with each one.
Fortunately, it was only the scare, because it was solved.

I took pictures to see the progress:

The idea and the work gave a good result. ...

I just needed to recover a bit the lines of panels and rivets (which is already done) and mask what will be the part of glass, but it will be later, I believe that when the wings are mounted to the fuselage.

Now I am going to work for a while to finish with the masking of the bubble-greenhouse ... tomorrow I share the photos.

Hasta pronto y gracias por las visitas y comentarios

So, I concluded yesterday the masking of the front of our bomber ...

I pasted the IPs that go inside the bubble and roof of the cockpit, as well as the open window of the pilot ...

... and I cut the acetate with the new windows of the bubble ...

...in the upper rectangular window, I left it slightly longer (.5mm), so that the pressure exerted by the ends inside the hole, help to buckle the window in the curved shape it requires.

So I'll leave it until before mounting the bubble to the fuselage ... And what followed was the installation of the floor with the seats and side console of the pilot, ... with some setbacks, but at night I pass the review with Photos.

Hasta más tarde

Hi there Wojtek, I´ll back later

 

[SANCER]

The "second" novelty that I did not consider was that to mount the floor with the seats, inside the cockpit, I should have done it before putting the piece that goes on the right wall of the interior. It was impossible to do it until it occurred to me to "take a look" to the instruction sheet ...

... It clearly indicates "the order" (mentioning which piece is "first", which "second" to have no any difficulty) in which they should be place the pieces that make up the interior.
I had to separate the piece from the side to start.

I started with the 2nd novelty, because the first one was to glue the ceiling, which came to "complicate" a little more what I had to do ... disgust

What followed was to put the pieces in place and put the IP on the left side of the pilot was very complicated, because of the narrow space to place it, the spaghetti and the fear of breaking or detaching the small front panel.

Everything went well and what follows is a final sequence of photos of the interior of the cockpit, which can hardly be seen again so well, once the front bubble is in place.

This is for the mere pleasure of seeing and enjoying what "we did" and the truth, "it was up to all of us, it looks very well"

Hasta pronto!!
