A little time has passed,... and in the week new opportunities were given in my business with the acquisition of a new machine that will allow us to grow in markets that we were not serving as we wanted due to lack of capacity. Everything begins to take on new enthusiasm and vigor.
The breakthrough with my Lib is small, but entertaining.
I share the process to create the side windows of the cockpit.
On a sheet of paper, I copied the original pieces of the kit to size the windows.
You can observe two pieces of acetate of different thickness to evaluate the best option.
I decided on the widest piece to which I gave a good clean and polished. On the acetate I copied the silhouette to make the cut.
With the indicated color I made the frames of the windows and made the cuts to obtain the 4 windows.
With a bit of CA I have attached the windows down the bottom, to simulate that both are open.
It has been a bit tricky to get the windows into the cockpit, so I had to work with a straight-edged jeweler's file to create a "rail" where windows can be supported.
At this moment I am in the situation of having to lower a little the height of the windows because they are overflown and do not make a correct union.
I also have the dilemma of making the cockpit be with the windows united in one piece and this can be removed and put in order to be able to observe the detail of the interior.
We will see how it turns out and in what other details I can keep moving forward.
See you soon and
hasta pronto chavales ... as Argentine friends say.
