Very nice work there, Andy!

I am liking this a lot Andy. Beautiful work on the cowl ribs. I did this as well on my F4U-1A I blogged here a few years ago. They add a nice touch.

Great job on that cowl and engine, Andy! Truly inspiring work there.

 

[Crimea_River]

Cheers all. Sprayed the YZC on at lunch today and will add the cables tonight.

Beaut work Andy.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That engine rocks!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Lovely bit of addition modelling Andy, once again you've taken it up a peg.

Yep, raised the bar on the cowling innards for sure. When I get around to finishing both of mine, I'll be sure to have a thumb in front of the cowling.

Well, the other option is to use the closed cowl flaps supplied with the kit and that will eliminate half the choice. Thanks all for your comments. Anyhoo, I finished these areas off with the yellow zinc chromate and added the cables around the cowl flap rollers. Here are some close-ups and a couple showing how the beast looks now.

A fine job Andy, well done mate!

 

[mikewint]

Very impressive work

 

[Airframes]

Sure is.

 

[tigerdriver]

love the cowl detail

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys. Flaps glued on and setting now. Looking into deciding on the gunsight now based on the earlier discussion about the likelihood of it being the Mark II gyro sight. I'll need to get this in place before gluing on the windscreen so that I can mask it so that I can then get a coat of interior green on the frames so that I can then get an overall prime coat on so that..........

Everything in proper sequence.

Thanks everyone. Won't be much happening on this one for a few days as I'll be strapping on the boards and doing some powder hunting this weekend. 26cm of new snow by Saturday where I'm going - woot!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very nice detail Andy, and enjoy your weekend mate, all the snow. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……………………….the thought of it makes me shiver.
