Cool Jim....

Well been off for a few days again, but still modelling as i can. have added the large "studs" to the Starboard fuselage where the Pave Penny Pod is fitted.
Drillled location holes fitted .6 x .4 brass tube pieces...that was fun cutting tiny lengths without distorting them.....or losing them! Then use round plasticard rod, drilled out hole rounded the end the carefully cut a short piece off....repeated 4 times the glued them in place. Simple as it sounds it took quite a while to do.....didn't mess one up or drop or lose any of them....!! A tiny bit oversized, I think but it ain't easy doing such small fiddley work...wasn't going to go too far and the n ruin it, should be ok once some paint covers them up.
Have also added the extra antennas on the lower nose and also removed the 'Hand Rail' section I had previously put there, it wasn't on my bird....

Thanks Guys, not much happening at the moment, stuffing around trying to fill joins inside the wheel well in the wings and it's becoming a pain in the butt slowing things down a bit...
 
Wow super detail. These use to fly over my house all the time in the 80s and 90s. I lived
about 34 miles, in a straight flight line, from Barnes AFB in Westfield Ma. Will be watching
with interest. John
 
Thanks for stopping by.....have splashed some very lightened Greys on my bird as a first paint stage (very light in the pics) and deciding whether to darken them up a tad or simply dirtying them up with darker grey pastels as part of the process...need to get a wriggle on none the less....
