Beauty Vic.

Good!!!!, I am glad to see that you have returned to making plastics and at the same rate as before, in these 4 years that unfortunately I have abandoned plastic I see that you have recovered it...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That is right Sergio, I also had a couple of years break sorting out a few medical things and more or less doing my own thing, But it is good to be back with this great group of very diverse folks.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for popping in for a look see folks. Have been beavering away this last couple of days but only managed to get something worth showing today.

The IP for both builds, all hand painted and scratched with some extra detail added.

The important seat for the pilot, had no harness for these birds or details as to how they looked so have just raided the spares box and done a Heath Robinson on both seats.

Thanks also for taking an interest and for the encouraging comments.

Beauty

 

[Vic Balshaw]

And again, thanks.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for checking in Gents. Had a good bench day today, lots done.

As you can see, the cockpit side walls have been completed and after quite a bit of dry fitting and fiddling, there now both buttoned up.

The little white card out front on the nose is a bit of a support for the twin nose machine gun cover.

This brand has this little problem with certain holes due to lack of material, it's as if they injected the plastic with little pressure or too dense, nothing that your good bad guys can't solve, especially the model on the left (as seen in the photo).

 

[Vic Balshaw]

There is also one on the right side Sergio, over the seat but I filled it with a good dollop of thick glue. I forgot to do the one on the left but may stick a piece of thin card over them both, help hide that ugly join.
