OK, here are a couple of progress shots. As usual, I just can't leave a bare looking wheel well as is and I then struggle with how much work to put into these things. Once again am leaning toward over-detailing but it's hard not to!
I'll start with the front wheel strut (pic 1). I wanted to add a little interest to this so I cut off the forks, drilled a hole, inserted a short piece of wire, then reconnected the forks in a turned position. You can just see the end of the wire where the forks join.
Pics 2 and 3 show continued work in the main gear wells. The first pic shows a few more stiffeners added. Also, the oil reservoir has been relocated from where the small patch of fill can now be seen to the correct location per available references. I also had to round it a bit. A hose has been installed where the tank was and copper wire struts have been added from the main gear boss to the rear of the well. Finally, some plastic bits representing fittings and copper wire hydraulic lines have begun to be added (pic 3). More hydrulic lines will go into this area before it will be ready for paint, hopefully before the end of the weekend.
Thanks for looking in.
