A little bit of slow progress to show.
PICS 1 and 2. The windscreen is on and sealed, although a little re-touching is required, followed by a matt clear coat over the sealer.
PIC 3. One of the main gear legs undergoing some detailing, with the addition of twin brake lines from lead wire. This particular leg will be re-painted, then gloss clear coated. The paint, applied by brush, went on a bit 'lumpy! The data plates will also be re-done.
PIC 4. The lamp on the nose gear leg has been hollowed out, and will eventually be 'chromed' using a paint pen, then glazed with 'Kristal Klear'. Removing the mould lines is rather hard work, as this cheap, glossy plastic is as hard as tungsten. Some detail in the way of wiring and springs will be added, and a replacement main door fabricated.
PIC 5. This is supposed to be the landing lamp on one of the main gear doors.
PIC 6. This is what it should look like.
PIC 7. Work under way improving things. The 'hole' will be cleaned up, backed by thin plastic card, then 'chromed' and finished as per the nose leg. Some form of attachment for the doors to the wheel bays will also have to be fabricated, as the kit instructions require that they are cemented direct to the fuselage - about as useful as a chocolate tea pot!
I might get some more done over the weekend, in between stints on preparing the Halifax kit for construction. Meanwhile, thanks again for your kind comments and interest.
