[Wurger]

A such parts always need more patiency than others. Looking very good.

 

[N4521U]

Got them done this am......... Trim and fit now.

 

[Wurger]

Great.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice work Bill. Is that pain in your a$$ gone yet?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Looking excellent sir!

 

[N4521U]

Thanks guys. The pain is diminishing... s l o w l y......

 

[N4521U]

The pain has returned..... These flappy thingies are really a bit of a bother.
I had to file down the top edges of the etched pieces to fit inside the wing. Added a wall for the end of the flap compartment. I did add a piece for the cockpit to rest on.
I sailor on.
Can you believe I took these pictures with my new mobile phone, @ 2MP!

 

[Airframes]

Neat work Bill.

 

[Crimea_River]

Agreed. And the pics did turn out nice.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice recovery Bill, you should be pleased and painless..................

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

That's a nice job there Bill.

 

[rochie]

very nicely done

 

[N4521U]

Typhoon, oh yes, This is the Typhoon posting..... gotta keep them straight.
Been unable to do much of late. Healing is going slowly, and one thing after another.

So I am fitting the flaps now. I hope the rest goes a little quicker. Forgot the deadline is too soon.

And then I was silly enough to get etched flaps for the Spitty.... Doh

 

[Wayne Little]

Doin' a great job there Bill, keep up the good work mate!

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Those flaps look fantastic Bill.

 

[Airframes]

Agree with both above. And there's still just over two months left Bill.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks good Bill. Hope your recovery speeds up.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Those flaps look great Bill and take your time mate, two months is a long time.

 

[Wurger]

Well done ....

 

[N4521U]

Have been able to do a bit of work on this one, since my Spitty problem is waiting on parts now. Since the cast problem I have chopped the control surfaces from the kit and filled and filed on them. Am happy with the result. I plug along. The cockpit is my next part to tackle. It's proving a bit of a hassle to get it in the right spot to tack in place. I sailor on.
