[Night Fighter Nut]

Nice plane and another opportunity to learn new tricks.

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok started simple to get the ball rolling, while working on the Phantom today(sanding)...prop assembly on the go while I had the sandpaper out!

 

[Wurger]

It isn't... the Airfix..no sanding needed.

Looking very nice.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks my friend....

 

[T Bolt]

Hay Wayne, that prop looks vaguely familiar I think I have a couple on my bench

 

[Crimea_River]

To about 10 more of us as well!

 

[Airframes]

Just noticed it's actually got the gear teeth on the reduction hubs - nice touch.

Ok...at least I know where to get a spare if I screw up...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice one Wayne, I like the camo and can't wait to see what you pull out of the hat on this one.

 

[Wayne Little]

I like it too....

 

[Wayne Little]

cowl bits on the go...

 

[Wurger]

Looking at these I would say a piece of cake, comparing to the Airfix ones of course.

 

[Wayne Little]

Think you're right.....

 

[T Bolt]

Yes, the fit is superb Wojtek. Glue is almost optional!

 

[Wurger]

Oh boy..no sanding, no gluing...where is the world heading to?

 

[T Bolt]

Don't worry, Thar's still some filling and sanding to be done on the underside of the fuselage where it meets the wings. But not much.....!

 

[Wayne Little]

Wings together....and showing the rear sink marks...to be dealt with...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Yikes, did not notice them in the first pic.

 

[T Bolt]

They look worse than they really are!

 

[Wurger]

But there is always a work we have to do if these cavities have to be removed.
