Is that a new take on a "shadow box"?

 

[Wayne Little]

Spent time yesterday and a bit today modelling up improved versions of the Aileron control mechanism or hinge on the wing, the kit part was pretty much useless as it was so i quickly but carefully improved them.
Cut off the angled plastic bit below the teardrop piece, drilled a small hole and attached a small bit of Brass rod, then made up a small support piece from plastic card and carefully glued it all in place and whacked on some paint....a bit better than the original part...

Some great detailing Wayne!

[Gnomey]

Neat work so far Wayne!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Heaps better Wayne and I just love how casual you make it all seem.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks very much guys...took a little while as parts are so small got each part sorted and done...once! and each set went together nice and clean first time...i guess slow and methodical wins the day!

 

[N4521U]

Yep, never a sprint, just Mosey thru it!

Nicely done Wayne, and I don't think I've ever seen an aileron mass balance actually on the hinge like that.

That's where they sit on a Zero!

Thanks guys!

Ok got the gunsight stuff in place and been thinning down and a little reshaping of the undercarriage covers....

Do the crosshairs work in conjunction with the reflector, or as a back-up? (Or both.)
Nice as always!
