[Catch22]

No worries Karl!

And yes Jan, I'm stepping into your area! Please don't hurt me!

Once everything gets drying in regards to putty I will take pictures.

 

[Wayne Little]

Cool!...ready and waiting!

 

[Catch22]

I forgot to get the pics until I had 10 minutes before I had to leave the house. Today! I promise. First thing I'll do before I work on it.

 

[Lucky13]

No worries mate, you're most welcome into the family....

 

[Catch22]

Haha, thank you Jan! We'll have to do the same with Brother Karl!

Anyways, pics! I'm sure I've got some of the cockpit itself somewhere. The engine looks like my dog ate it, digested it and shot it out her arse, but the front is presentable! Pieces just kepy breaking on it and I blew it and didn't line it up properly somewhere along the line.

This is the cowling flap piece. I used thin plastic card to make pieces to go underneath to eliminate the gap between the flaps and make it correct. It was quite easy actually.

It's certainly a big beast.

 

[Airframes]

Looking good so far Cory. And it certainly is a big sod!

 

[lesofprimus]

Cory, have u tried to dry fit the cowl flap ring, as I think u may have a problem due to the plastic card not being tucked into and behind the inner ring that fits over the fuselage....

 

[Catch22]

Yeah, I've dry-fit it, we're all good.

 

[rochie]

looks good Cory

 

[Lucky13]

Looking good Cory!

 

[Wayne Little]

Lookin' good Cory!

 

[Wurger]

With all here Cory...

 

[Catch22]

Thanks guys! Clipped the wings this morning, sliced my knuckle open in the process, so we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping to get the Sky one today.

 

[109ROAMING]

Man shes big! looking good mate-also nice change of scheme 8)

 

[Catch22]

Thanks Dan, that's the scheme I wanted to do in the first place, but seeing as I already had the decals to the other one I figured why not use it? But now I had to re-order them anyway.

 

[Catch22]

Well, I ran out of paint partway through, so I'll have to get more to finish the Sky . I'll have to wait until tomorrow because nothing seems to be open that's close to my house.

 

[Catch22]

Wow, I thought I had updated this more!

I got everything painted, ran into a couple issues during (mostly my doing), and just puttered along. Basically I got really frustrated because the wings continually fell off so I left it and started my Avenger. Basically I've gotten it to the point of being ready for decals minus some bits and bobs of course. So basically I've been waiting on decals to continue so it's sat for a week, but they arrived today so I will put most, if not all, of them on.

I will post pictures up after the decals are on. I've been taking pictures as I've gone along, just haven't posted them for some reason.

 

[marek]

GooD start Cory! Waiting for more!

 

[lesofprimus]

UPDATE!!!!

 

[Airframes]

Yes, update now, update now!! (Or I won't tell you which way up the 'blister' windows go on the Avenger!!)
