Clean work there looking really good

Another masterpiece in the making! IIRC there where some good pictures in one of the back issues of "Lufftwaffe im Focus". Have you seen them Wayne?

 

[Rogi]

The best magazine ever I have 1 or 2 copies really nice

Highly recommended Lufftwaffe im Focus".

 

[Wayne Little]

Yep, and it has a weird sequence to fitting the engine panels.

Been looking at the panel fitting...must agree with you there Paul...

Oh I have ALL the LiF series my friend, so yes....

Thanks for your comments guys....

 

[T Bolt]

Good start Wayne

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff so far Wayne. Might be a good idea to remove the control surfaces, replacing the hinges and actuators at the same time. Think I'll be doing that on my Revell (ex- Hasegawa) kit.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sorry Guys, haven't had much modelling time of late....so progress has been slow, did add some stretched sprue to the rear trailing edges but after looking at what the next stage is to tidy it all up, I think Plan A is out the door and plan B is going to be the order of the day...removing the control surfaces looks like the better option in this case so that will be the next stage....

 

[Crimea_River]

Sounds like the right thing to do Wayne.

 

[Wayne Little]

Cheers....

Plan B is executed....control surfaces removed, some sanding and the thinning down of the trailing edge of the wings begins...with one section carefully scraped and sanded down.

 

[Wurger]

The difference is clearly seen.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Wojtek.

the aim is to leave the top side surface/view alone and taper the bottom up to thin that edge as once the control surfaces are back in place things will look nice and tidy.

 

[Wurger]

Sounds very good.

 

[Airframes]

These any help Wayne? They're from the 'Aero Detail' book. It's not a 'B' of course, but a similar set up.

 

[Wurger]

 

[T Bolt]

That certainly looks like the best way to go about it.

 

[meatloaf109]

I did that to a Hasegawa G, once. Super fidly when built. Kept knocking the b@stards off. It ended up in the spares pile, just because I ended up loosing the darn things!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far Wayne!

 

[woody]

Nice work Wayne.

 

[Catch22]

Nicely done.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys and you too terry for the extra detail stuff!

Again no lunch break or modelling today, too friggin' busy....so nothing to show...sorry guys maybe on the weekend....
