Thanks gents, very little progress today, just punched a couple holes for cartridge ejection and sealed some small seam gaps. Will clean up tomorrow and hopefully get some wings on.
Progress today was somewhat slow, my own fault really, just dithering about.
Did a test fit of the tail rudder after cleaning up all fuselage joins and just look at that gap.
Easy fixed though.
While on the tail end also made the trim actuator rod.
Then a bit of gluing and we have the tail and wings in place. Just need to do a spot of trimming as I seem to have a slight ridge between upper wing and fuselage on both sides.
Thanks for your interest and comments guys, glad you like the actuator, the kit provided an all plastic chunky one which is good for the kit manufacturers and the kit detail, but I wanted to scale mine down a bit.
Not a lot to show for a day in the office. Have masked, painted, filled and cussed and all I have to show for it is a couple of air filter made up this afternoon. Only mesh I had to hand looks more like walkway grating in miniature. But then again at this scale, it's effect we are looking for.
Andy, how I wish I could have picked something like this mesh up from around the house but sadly no. I purchased it when the opportunity some months back, it's an AMRI Architectural Scales product.
