Damn....and I thought I was nearly done...

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Wayne. BTW, does this count as two GB entries ?!!

 

[Wayne Little]

maybe Terry, but probably not once they are joined...

finished the other wing tip panel line, again bit of stretched sprue rather than super glue, sanded, scribed and resanded just to see how it turned out before cleanup!

Also added the couple of intakes on the lower portion of the engine nacelle, bit of filler and some careful sanding and filing to blend it in, almost done other one tomorrow!

nice bit of detail Wayne

Sorry I haven't been keeping up on this build Wayne. As usual a fine technique to follow as an example.

I am still struggling with keeping it tidy. I'll have to find some of that dark gray paper! I get a little too anxious still. You seem to be so methodical. Comes with experience. I have to sit and really think it thru before I tackle the next step. And then I miss the fact the gear legs should have been put in place before the wing is stuck together. Read the recipe????? Doh!

sure we've all done similar Bill, know i have

 

[Wayne Little]

That we have Karl, know I've done some right ballsups in my time, usually keep them to myself though!

I usually make time to review things Bill as i go along and before starting each phase it most certainly helps with the methodical approach, 'cause I don't always follow the instructions!

Thanks for looking in guys...

Nicely done Wayne. I've just noticed the vast difference in the cowling shape, compared to the 'A' series.

Hey, Wayne,
Impressive work there. I like the stretched sprue idea for filling in the incorrect panel lines. I have used this idea for years. I prefer it over the superglue idea as this means that all surfaces are of the same material/density making for smoother sanding. I am looking forward to seeing how the 190 goes together and any issues you may have there.

Amazing work as always! (I probably say that every time I comment on your builds.)

Great work so far Wayne!

Hard not to seem repetitive with Wayne work but, yes, great job.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Like all Wayne's builds, so constantly good and it gets harder to find new words to express it.

Dale I normally use the superglue with accelerator most of the time that way i can get stuck into it immediately with a round file and then sandpaper rather than wait till the sprue dries fully, in this case with the old and new lines so close together the sprue becomes a better choice, as you say same material makes for the best surface to rework.
The 190 does have some minor issues, but I have built a few and know what is necessary for a smooth ride...will keep you posted on these once I get on it.

Fitted the inlets on the other nacelle today and added some superglue filler but many interuptions during my lunch break made for very slow going...hopefully will get it completed tomorrow.....really want to get those wings in place!

Thanks for the kind words Guys, much appreciated.
