Tonite I fabricated a pilots compass for the IP, and the two black boxes for the two Cps that were in the attached articles. I havent joined the two fuselage halves by the inner bits are pretty much done. i want to get some decent shot of the interior before I zip it up as most of what Ive done will not be visible.
The interior was quite a challenge, but Im happy with what ive done. Main thing was patience....work slowly and carefully.
But whilst the inside was hard, it is not the hardest thing about this model. they are still coming. The wings have to be fitted and the wires strung. Ive never rigged a biplane before, so it might be difficult. The engoiine assembly needs to be mounted on the lower wingand wires rigged for that as well. all the reviews say that is a b*gger of a job and it looks it
The one I am really scratching my head are the gun rings located in the firing positions. There are PE parts involved with a turret ring, and attached to that, a gun emplacement. You guessed it, both these parts are made of PE metal. I have to coil the PE flat strip around a concave circle. I dont see that is going to work well, but I some ideas
I will post some progress shots tomorrow if the light is good enough....
